    Jackson Jobe article on Fangraphs https://blogs.fangraphs.com/sunday-notes-jackson-jobe-has-a-jacob-degrom-like-cutter/

    He’s our Milt Wilcox. Was hoping for Dan Petry.

    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.

    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.

    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?
  6. Tenacious D
    It certainly appears that way with the hitters. However, the pitchers have seemed to regress some.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Can we get an admin to rename this thread, Wordle for Baseball Nerds?

    Happy Birthday!

    He needs to flip Foley and Lange. And when Vest comes back, move Lange to the 7th inning to work through his command issues.
  13. Tenacious D
    Can’t they throw the swag in between innings? Speaking for the home viewing audience, I don’t give a **** about seeing that.

    Tigers OF making mental mistakes—1 by Carp and two from Riley already.
  15. Tenacious D
    This players only free-for-all makes me yearn for another Apple+ broadcast.

    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.

    Personally, I refuse to continue wearing my Old English D ass-less chap’s until I see a marked improvement in play.

    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.
  19. Tenacious D
    I think the bigger issue is having to be ROY. Not sure the odds of that are worth deferring a promotion.
  20. Tenacious D
    Apparently the bonus check cleared.

    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.
  22. Tenacious D
    Nice Jobe
  23. Tenacious D
    No way Harris trades him. I think Malloy will have a similar profile to Isaac.
  24. Tenacious D
    They said the same of Granderson, too.

    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.
