Lane Thomas tells Carp, “hold my beer”

Dingler the new Chuck Norris?

I almost mentioned that, too. Not sure it was just a Warren thing, though. Very prevalent throughout my youth.

Very different season (so far) for our minor league teams vs last season. Only Lakeland is above .500. Think we have a lot of our top 30 prospects injured, but the pitching looks bleak.

I grew up in Warren during the same era and agree racist comments/jokes were commonplace.

~$600K? Depends on how long you plan to live and what you’re wanting to do.

What if Dingler is great?

I would have thought a few of you old farts would have mentioned when Fidrych beat the Yankees on Monday Night Baseball in ‘76.

Rusty Staub was my favorite Tiger until Tram came along. Dude would change his batting gloves for base running gloves every time he got on base, fully realizing he was probably never going to slide.

Brilliant. I lol’d 🤣

53 AB’s? Man, that’s cold

These are some impressive games for sure, but what about Tom Veryzer’s MLB debut?!?

This trade deadline could be fascinating. If we are a sub .500 team, I could see many players on the chopping block, including Skubal, Greene, Mize and Carp.

I read that Gibby was ready to kill Pudge when he disrespected Tram.

the collapse September makes this start more concerning. Let’s hope it’s a weather thing or just our rough stretch that every team goes through at some point in the season. It’s just more alarming when it happens at the beginning of the season.

Riley will be fine, but could be a deadline deal if we turn into sellers

If this continues, which I don’t think it will, the blame will be squarely on his shoulders.

If the Tigers continue like this for the next 20 games or so, the natives will be calling for Harris’ head.

His loss was our gain.

J. Jones—you have one job. Hit lefties. Bring up Clark or Perez and end this

I think these takes of Clark being a bonehead are both lazy and false. Every interview I’ve seen with, he is humble and grounded. Ignore the chains and tattoos and whatever associations you might have with them. He’s solid.

I think Clark could. I’m not putting much stock in his spring—he’s playing in more competitive games now. I’d still give him another 25-30 games before a promotion, but he close and has the talent for disruption. Think a Parker Meadows with a much better hit tool and plate discipline. A McGonigle /Clark/Keith combination at the top of the order could wreak havoc and make Greene, Carp and Tork more productive.

at least we saw Skubal in his prime.

This is starting to feel like September again.

Have the Lions ever drafted a player that was frequently mocked to their pick (or that they were allegedly interested in)? Genuinely asking because I don’t know.
