  1. You’re probably right, but I would argue that (so far), the trade with Philly is playing out as quantity over quality. Maton and Sands have not lived up to expectations.
  2. The fans showed up to see Ohtani today. And he didn’t disappoint.
  3. He does have success pitching in the division.
  4. Not sure I agree that ERod is behind Giolito. He’s out pitched him and likely opts out, essentially making him a free agent like Lucas. And if he doesn’t opt out, the acquiring team has Rodriguez on a 3-year, team friendly contract.
  5. Didn’t seem to faze this late starter
  6. Who’d we get?
  7. I loved Christmas. Our hair shirts were trimmed to a much more comfortable length.
  8. I like that he only has one name. Kind of like Ichiro.
  9. We couldn’t afford to have an elevator in our abode. We improvised by adding a helipad on our roof for the helicopter and then walked down. But we rarely complained about it.
  10. Who is Gil? Had quite a day
  11. Hopefully that lazy and inaccurate narrative will start to go away.
  12. Cristian Santana had 3 hits for Lakeland to raise his average above .150
  13. If we’re to successfully trade for Ohtani, a good performance from ERod would be really good here. Must Win
  14. So many Tigers/Angels connections, including Gary Pettis, Lance Parrish, Al Cowens, Fred Lynn, Jason Thompson, Troy Percival, Damion Easley, Frank Tanana…
  15. I’d do Manning for India, though I don’t think they’d go for it. Also, moving Manning or Skubal will exacerbate out current depth, if you believe we should still trade ERod and Lorenzen to avoid losing them later for nothing.
  16. Yes. And Monday Night Baseball was a big deal. I think the local Tigers broadcast on WDIV was limited to 40-50 games. It was the only way to see an NL team, too.
  17. If you’ve never seen Mark Fidrych pitch or seen a 70’s era baseball game, watch at least the first couple of innings. LeFlore, Staub, Jason Thompson, Aurelio Rodriguez. Heck, even Mickey Stanley. Players introducing themselves, Bob Eucker on the mic, 70’s era commercials. I was 10 years old and this was everything to me. Pure gold. Enjoy
  18. Nice season so far in West Michigan and Erie. Potential bullpen arm in 2024.
  19. nice to see our core (Carpenter, Greene, Tork and Rogers with two hits a piece, along with Skubal's gem) shine in this one.
