Tenacious D

Should not be lost that we also handed the White Sox their historic loss. Win-win

The drought is over, boys. Congrats to all of you who have followed every game during the last 10 seasons. This is for y’all.

Didn’t Avila hire our current Head of Player Development? I think it’s inaccurate and unfair to suggest Avila had little to do with how the team is playing. Harris deserves credit, too-there doesn’t have to be a villain here. Al took too long and made some missteps along the way, but he was not a total disaster.

Which one? Or did you pluralize them?

Mario > Benetti > Everyone Else > Shep I like Benetti better when he’s with Petry, because Dan doesn’t indulge his silliness. However, I like Dirks much more than Petry. That’s my quandary and why it’s not easy being me.

Benneti reads his own press on X, methinks. I like him, but wish he’d dial it down some. And agree Dirks might be a better fit with an adult in the booth (DD). I suspect we’re seeing more of Dirks on TV to appeal to a younger audience who might be tuning in regularly for the first time given the playoff excitement.

Did you guys see where Chicago are pushing Crochet back from Thursday to Friday to face us? Kind of a douchy move, if that was the reason.

He’s saying all the right things, but there is no way the team wastes him if the game isn’t necessary to get us into the playoffs.

Old friend alert

Pretty crazy

Who cares? Let’s believe

My guess is that Riley signs an extension this offseason. Will be interesting—he’s only 23. Maybe a contract that pays him well for the remainder of his arb seasons and Tigers get him for 2-3 seasons beyond that. Doubt Skubal signs before free agency.

7-2 over the last 9 games vs Baltimore and KC. Totally exceeded expectations.

Must win. Would be nice to see an offensive explosion from the Tigres.

? I hope they don’t win another game

Look at Greene’s reaction. I think Gehringer had the same 🤣

Ditto

You mean our starting SS and top 100 MLB prospect? At least do some research.

I’ll allow it. If we’re gonna drop a game, let it be against Burnes. We can take the next two.

Factoring into this is how likely would another team be to select Workman in the Rule 5 and be willing to carry him all season?

I don’t see Benneti improving upon this. And he spends too much time fixated on ballpark activity unrelated to the actual game. I’d rather he leave that to Johnny Kane, which seems to be his role. I also think you might have unrealistic expectations for a lay person who didn’t play—I’m OK with the “color” guy providing the insights—they are more credible as they actually played. Both Dirks and Gibby excel in this area.

I’m on Team Dirks. Indifferent about Bennetti, though he’s an upgrade over Shep. Would prefer to have Mario back.

Why are we entertaining this? Please move along—nothing to see here.

Tigers should sign him. He seems to want to help us.
