  1. KC is one game back of Cleveland. I’d be more than happy to see them win this division.
  2. I believe Vierling is possibly the most under appreciated player on this team. I’ve become a big fan of his this year.
  3. Well…it’s still early.
  4. Tyler Holten to start today’s game.
  5. It’s rigged 😉
  6. Over the past several weeks I’m coming around to the belief that they may cut ties with Baez beyond this year. As recently as the AS break I wouldn’t have given it a chance and commented as much here. After watching him flail away Tuesday night, as he’s done all season long, I realize there is no way you can have that bat in a lineup that is seriously competing for a playoff spot. I wondered if they’d wait until the end of spring training next year to see if things would be different? Maybe some closely supervised things in the offseason? I don’t know the nitty gritty of his contract so I don’t know if bringing him to spring training would be a problem, any more than it already is, and then cutting him as opposed to parting ways at the end of this season. I’m a Baez fan until he picks up a bat and then I just cringe.
  7. Day baseball at Wrigley? Who’da ever thunk!
  8. Good to see Sweeney getting the start at SS tonight.
  9. If I’m not mistaken, that’s where Chuck initially met James Charles Adduci. I believe it was at Harry’s place during the 2016 playoffs there. I see Adduci is employed by the Cubs now so I imagine that makes the business side of things convenient for everybody.
  10. The kids tie it up in the ninth. I’m liking that.
  11. As much as I am a fan of Flaherty, I don’t see Harris bringing him back. I like Brant Hurter a lot but don’t know what Harris & Co have in mind for him.
  12. I can’t picture Detroit looking at a top closer yet. The Tiger’s offense would have to justify that kind of expense and they’re not there yet, imo.
  13. What are the numbers on the side of the hats about? Scott Harris is earning his money trying to answer the barrage of questions from Jason.
  14. Beau Brieske starting for the home town team.
  15. The only reason MLB is interested in the Negro Leagues is because there is a dollar to be made. Other than that, Manfred & Company couldn’t care less.
  16. What a low blow by the Tigers brass. Making these two kids debut in those ****ty Connect Unis.
  17. Speaking of Casey Mize, he’s starting tonight for Toledo in Charlotte. Carpenter should be on the field as well.
  18. WSJ Breaking News Israel put its military on high alert after observing preparations by Iran and Hezbollah to carry out possible attacks
  19. I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with your statement. Could you expound a bit on your comment regarding Meadows?
  20. Looks like he’s still there. https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-rand-230a075
  21. I miss Kevin Rand. 😁
  22. Brieske starting for the Tigers this evening.
  23. During Jim’s last year(s) on air, he wasn’t his best due to continuing health issues. He was much better when he had his energy and better health.
  24. Speaking of nice area, Jimmy Price has been gone a year this week. And yes, it is a nice area. The 2nd of the two Tiger fan trips this season is in SF this weekend for this series. The lodging on this trip is immediately across the street from Oracle Park, one of the best stays in San Fran. If you’ve never seen a game at Oracle, try to get there someday. The Tigers will face Ray, Webb, and Birdsong as currently listed.
  25. As poster davidsb623 pointed out above, Billy Beane (Oakland A’s fame) and Billy Bean (MLB Front office guy) were both on the 1988 Tigers roster as outfielders. Gotta’ be a trivia question in there somewhere.
