  1. Ripken is very much in his sights.
  2. We should have been buyers this trade deadline. I hope we at least explored that, though it does seem there were few sellers.
  3. Bigbie is legit—interested to see where he ends up on prospect rankings this offseason.
  4. Certainly looks that way
  5. Has 4 hits on the season so far—2 doubles, 1 triple and a dinger. He told the TikTok crowd that singles are for pussies.
  6. At least he played on one. And had a job that he presumably loved until he was 81. We should all be so fortunate.
  7. Good guy and maybe the longest tenured Tiger employee? May he “buggy whip” an unlimited number of “yellow hammers” in heaven.
  8. I think we’ll see Meadows. He’s already on the 40 man, so no issues there.
  9. a boy can dream. Though, I prefer Shep in the mix in contrast to the players-only debacle. They were lacking an adult in the mix to keep things on track. In reality, they need a new PBP guy, and pair them with either Petry or Andy Dirks (who is killing it on the radio). I don't mind Gibby in the mix, as long as he's not with his buddies (i.e., Rozema).
  10. Jackson Jobe article on Fangraphs https://blogs.fangraphs.com/sunday-notes-jackson-jobe-has-a-jacob-degrom-like-cutter/
  11. He’s our Milt Wilcox. Was hoping for Dan Petry.
  12. I don’t think enough has been said about the fact that the Tigers were trading Jake Rogers (Jason Beck has said as much, which is why Sands was dispatched to Pennsylvania). It would appear that no major league ready catcher was coming back. To me, it suggests that the Tigers don’t necessarily view him as their catcher of the near future. Might be an area they address this offseason.
  13. I agree. Too many hurt feelings here. He’s easily a top 40 starting pitcher in the majors. On our team, only Skubal is close in talent (maybe Jobe at some point). In free agency, we’d easily and gladly extend a 4 yr/$80M contract to someone similar to replace him. This is all moot, though, as I think ERod will opt out.
  14. What do we call it when the Tigers and each of their four full season farm teams all win on the same day? Immaculate Saturday?
  15. It certainly appears that way with the hitters. However, the pitchers have seemed to regress some.
  16. I think (and hope) McKinstry will be a guy we look back at fondly in a few seasons and say, “remember that dude with the mullet who played everywhere and was solid?” And a few of us will be able to recall this.
  17. I’d be pretty pissed if he did that. The Tigers did the honorable thing by keeping him on the active roster all season and letting him retire with respect and on his terms. He should retire as a Tiger. Im glad to see him hitting well, and he seems to be enjoying himself, but he can’t feel great about hitting one HR on the season. His skills would be even more diminished next year.
  18. 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.
  19. Can we get an admin to rename this thread, Wordle for Baseball Nerds?
  20. He needs to flip Foley and Lange. And when Vest comes back, move Lange to the 7th inning to work through his command issues.
  21. Can’t they throw the swag in between innings? Speaking for the home viewing audience, I don’t give a **** about seeing that.
  22. Tigers OF making mental mistakes—1 by Carp and two from Riley already.
  23. This players only free-for-all makes me yearn for another Apple+ broadcast.
