I watched spring training games almost everyday and noticed that the umpires were calling balls & strikes more efficiently than they are now in the regular season. The ball & strike calls have been horrible across the board so far since the regular season started. The ABS system seemed to challenge the umpires more in spring training, not wanting any of their calls reversed and the umpires were mostly correct when a batter, catcher or pitcher challenged. ABS needs to be implemented ASAP for the regular season.

My two take aways from todays game. 1 - Malloy needed to see a few more pitches before swinging at the second pitch he saw. Horrible AB. 2 - Keith does not need to be sent down but he needs to sit 2-3 games and get his head out of his butt. Still think he will have a good year but I hope not to see him playing 1B again this year.

This is a DOGE cut.

Maybe each team's home team and away team could play each other.

Skubal is at home (I know, he spent a lot of time in Arizona too), nice visit with his college coach and college teammates yesterday, get away day = large strike zone, Skubal wanting to erase memory of opening day loss. Tarik is going to put a beatdown on the Mariners and the Tiger bats will have a big day today!!

0-3 to first place!! Whoop, whoop!!

This

Torres to 3B, Keith back to 2B and keep Tork at 1B (as long as he produces). We should be catering to Keith since he is on a long contract with the team and play (one year contract) Torres where he is most needed to make this team it's best.

I think Colt Keith should be taking reps at 3B, 1B should be Tork's as long as he continues to produce.

Gage Workman makes the Cubs Opening Day roster (or five man travel squad) and is headed to Japan. Has had an impressive spring.

No to Bregman!

Barring a setback in spring training, Jobe is in the starting rotation to start the 2025 season.

All 30 First Place votes!! Well deserved.

Come on Tigers!! Third straight shutout tonight!

Sue!!! So good to see you!

Welcome back. I seldom post but still read MotownTigers every day. I can claim to be one of the original Morons. Even started the daily Game Threads for a few years.

Will Madden come in after Holton maybe?

Since we just celebrated the 1984 Tigers this weekend, what a perfect time to get a series win from the Padres, just like in 1984!!

Brieske starting in a bullpen day. I thought Madden was starting?

Don was a great friend to those who enjoyed TTM autographs. He had a great signature also.

Getting ready to goose him with the bat!

I say Gio and Zack go, we do not need seven 3B types on the active roster. Baddoo goes back down when Greene is recalled.

1988 Tigers, the year they had Billy Bean and Billy Beane both on the roster.

Time to bring Tork and Baez back and promote Jung.
