Burn announcers instead. Start with Jack but no need to stop there...
-
Cody is the best Tiger beat writer. $10 bucks for the Athletic is way better than $10 for the News or Free IF your just paying for the sports.
-
I did. I thought .500 was in reach and they would be in playoff "contention" most of the summer. But I am a Fan not a scout.

Another year buried by Memorial Day weekend. Taps or Bagpipes ?
-
What do you think it is besides insufferable ?
-
Paredes with another bomb...do not trade with the Rays. Can Al evaluate talent ? Why did we Neve give Sock a long look like Lugo and Willie Castro ?
-
Watch Paredes outperform Candy going forward. If it wasn't for bad luck we wouldn't have any luck at all.
-
Cameron is a waste of time. Next.
-
I would agree with this ranking and analysis.
-
Freehan was an 11 time All star. Dominating your position for a decade should equal hall Status.
-
Mine as well. Let's hope Michael doesn't send him fishing in Lake Tahoe.
-
I think Lolich was the best Tiger pitcher not named Verlander in the last 60 years. He is a HOF in my book along with Freehan and Whitaker. All robbed.

Ya Ray Oyler and Don Wert did not strike fear in many pitchers hearts. Oylers claim to fame was Stanley playing shortstop in the Series and maybe being a high draft pick in the expansion draft ? Maybe first ? Not sure about that though. As for Wert .." Wert singles..Kaline has scored. The fans are streaming on the field and the Tigers have won their first pennant since 1945. Let's listen to the bedlam here at Tiger Stadium" - Ernie Harwell...not sure if perfect but I can hear Ernie clear as a bell.

Wow I was not aware of that.Thanks. I know the 68 Tigers won something like 35 games from the 7th inning on which was great and Gator !
-
Well I might respectfully differ with you on that. The 68 team had a 31 game winner with a sub 2 era and Mickey Lolich dominated the series including Bob Gibson plus A solid Earl Wilson. The 84 team had Cy young and MVP award winner Hernandez and a big three of Morris Petry and Wilcox not to mention Senior Smoke.
-
has any players from that draft made an impact at the MLB level yet ?
-
Meadows is a core piece also.

I agree with the sentiment that Chris I will never fire Al. So we’re stuck . We need to take out the trash and look to 2023. Hate. Hate to say that. Both Castro’s, Hasse (love him) Hill all need to go. Reyes needs to play every day the remainder of the year. He is best option of the retreads to bloom though odds are low. He’s never had that chance. When performance improves trade Schoop Grossman Candy Fullmer Soto Alexander Joey plus the trash for position players that can field and are close to the majors. Build depth Not getting stars or prospects for this bunch. But sold major league players can be had. Then you can audition Clemens and maybe Badoo and Shoort again. Miggy needs to play less and bought out for 2023 The core of remaining pitchers plus Baez Tork Greene is thin but with some solid trades and off season signings we can do much better in 2023
-
The maddening thing is we do have talent on this team based on multiple years of production in Baez, Meadows, Candy, Schoop, Grossman but they are all stinking up the joint. Yes we have injuries but offensively only Greene, which considering Torks adjustment ,he might not be that much of an impact at this point. Crazy bad. Look at their stats..Grossman has a.263 SLUGGING percentage for one example. It's not just bad it's ugly. "They all need to go out on the town slump busting" - Mark Grace.
-
I think that's better than many of our current players and he can catch and throw. He's a utility player which suggest he has utility versus the futility of our current bench players.
-
Unfortunately there isn't much to do until the hitters wake up except trying to keep players like Hasse , Willie C, Harold C from losing games defensively which is why I would send them all down ASAP for Garneau, Short and Reyes ( when ready). I want solid defense when we substitute s starter. We have lost about four games defensively this season already. No reason for that with better defenders in the system and the current bench players can not field OR hit. I would stick with Torkelson and give him time to adjust which makes it hard to promote Clemens from AAA but I doubt he is a major league player anyway. Miggy is blocking him making it difficult to audition players like Clemens as he holds a roster spot on reputation only. It's going to be an increasingly difficult situation that is over the head of Al's ability.

Todays game plan is pitch a shutout and hope the A's make some errors leading to runs. It's worked before !
-
I wonder if Tampa thinking the ball would be deaden contributed to their decision to trade Meadows and ask for Parades who's main strength is walking. I think the Yankees thought the same thing which is why they passed on all the high priced shortstops snd opted for defense in obtaining Falefa for short and dumping Sanchez ?

#4 Dead bats for Detroit only.

So Willie can play both games but Hill can't ? Seriously we a babying Derek Hill ? Wow they have already gone into rebuild mode. It's like a gear shift is stuck in R for rebuild.
