  1. Jackson Jobe wins Rookie of the Year
  2. He may be one of the least appreciated (by fans) power-hitting Tiger of all time.
  3. On who? Few position players available. Hopefully they will add a premier pitcher if Erod opts out and another Lorenzo type.
  4. No offense but I'm looking forward to when the Farm System reports are no longer the highlight of the day.
  5. Two games over .500 since the break. Two games under since starting the year 2-9. How the heck they managed to be respectable despite the 29th worst offense in MLB is remarkable.
  6. He's also been trying to trade Skubal for a couple of years now.
  7. Well the Tigers did move up from 30th to 29th in runs scored. Progress?
  8. The Tigers were conservative with Malloy and Keith this year, at least compared to the rest of the league. Of the top 50 hitters (based on OPS) in the IL, 19 were 24 years or younger. Of those 19 only 3 remained in the minors all year: Johathon Rodriguez (23 years old) from Cleveland and Malloy and Keith. There really is no reason that both should not be on the MLB roster at the beginning of 2024.
  9. Who thought the Tigers would still be mathematically in it into September 22?
  10. Jung is starting to really intrigue. Read somewhere that his defense is acceptable at 2B. Could be the answer there.
  11. He’s 26. If he hasn’t figured it out by now unlikely he ever will.
  12. I don’t know that their approaches stink, with the exception of Baez. They just lack talent.
  13. What do you expect? Six of the guys in today’s lineup have an OPS+ below 90. Another is a rookie heading in that direction. Any semi-competent MLB pitcher can handle a lineup like this.
  14. Point of clarification on MSU. This one had nothing to do with the good old boy network. Nasser targeted athletes coached by a woman. He got away with it because no one at the university really cared about the gymnastics team and, more importantly, he was able to abuse with near impunity under the guise of a procedure many in his field deemed medically effective. He even duped the FBI.
  15. They can't all be Miggy I guess. In his prime with the Tigers, 2008-2016, Cabrera had one month below a 100 OPS+ (93 in 2015) and an additional three months below 110 OPS+. He had only four months in a 9-year period where he had an OPS below 800. Remarkable consistency.
  16. The things you learn playing this game, like Phil Cavarretta, who played a million seasons with the Cubs, never had a 100 RBI season.
  17. All things being equal the benefits of bringing Malloy and Keith up for the final 3-4 weeks of the season far outweigh any further developing that they might do in that time period in AAA. But the 40-man roster issue overrides everything.
  18. Tigers allow 4.6 runs a game over 3 games. That is the league average for runs scored. Hopefully soon, like next year, when the pitching holds the opposition to league average in runs over 3 games the Tigers will win 2 of those 3 most of the time.
  19. I'd like to think Harris will work to add pieces that will raise the ceiling over the next two years.
  20. The record is bad. The run differential is ugly. But the vibe is much better, probably because there have not been many 2-8 stretches and for the most part the guys counted on for the future I've made progress.
