  1. If he can play adequate defense there, you could see how the pieces potentially fall in place for next season: Vierling 3B Malloy RF Greene LF Meadows CF Keith 2B I think we know the other positions. Of course, this assumes no external additions, which is unlikely.
  2. Can we get an admin to rename this thread, Wordle for Baseball Nerds?
  3. He needs to flip Foley and Lange. And when Vest comes back, move Lange to the 7th inning to work through his command issues.
  4. Can’t they throw the swag in between innings? Speaking for the home viewing audience, I don’t give a **** about seeing that.
  5. Tigers OF making mental mistakes—1 by Carp and two from Riley already.
  6. This players only free-for-all makes me yearn for another Apple+ broadcast.
  7. Looks that way. My naïveté was hoping that a Parker Meadows promotion could be a positive catalyst for Austin in helping him get back, but Hinch’s comments do not sound promising at all. I suspect he’ll be offered a role in the organization after this season—the Tigers won’t want to cut a player dealing with his issues.
  8. Personally, I refuse to continue wearing my Old English D ass-less chap’s until I see a marked improvement in play.
  9. Nobody like hearing the sound of his voice more than him. I don’t know what his baseball credentials are (I’ve never heard of him), but he doesn’t appear to be very likable.
  10. I think the bigger issue is having to be ROY. Not sure the odds of that are worth deferring a promotion.
  11. Apparently the bonus check cleared.
  12. Speaking of Jobe, since he forever will be linked with Mayer (at least with Tigers fans), he’s hitting .189 with a .609 OPS in 190 AB’s at AA. Very young for the league, but also a reminder that baseball is hard.
  13. No way Harris trades him. I think Malloy will have a similar profile to Isaac.
  14. They said the same of Granderson, too.
  15. Rosie has a voice for print. I’ve met him a handful of times—very nice and funny guy. He pitched to a bunch of us at a camp at Comerica.
  16. Justice Bigbie’s going to lap him soon.
  17. I suspect he feels some sense of loyalty to the Tigers based on how they accommodated him last season. I’ve never heard of a player taking an extended leave to resolve a family issue. And that would never happen in any other job. If he were a free agent and we could sign him for 4 years/$69M, we’d all be ecstatic. Doesn’t seem to be a clubhouse problem and is still an elite pitcher.
  18. Very hard to say without knowing who would be coming back. I like Rogers, too, but he represents one of a couple of positions that could be upgraded.
  19. Same. My all-time favorite non-Tiger. RIP, Thurman
  20. He and Kreidler should get a condo down there.
  21. I’m OK with the opt-out or if he fulfills his current contract. Not cool with extending him beyond the current deal.
  22. he's legit. was a bit old while at WM, but age-appropriate for Erie, and as you've pointed out, has continued to perform since his promotion. will be fun to watch as he moves up.
  23. will be ironic if he ends up being a good player for us. Also tells me that LA doesn't blame us/hold a grudge for the Erod-gate.
