How much do you think ratings would have improved if they brough him on in 2021-2022?

He was a good hire, but their ratings are up because they are winning. Fans will tune in to see a winning team regardless of the announcer. A good broadcaster can improve ratings a bit, but I don't believe that Benetti doubled the ratings.

I like Benetti even with his forced humor. I like Dirks. They’re difficult to listen to when they’re together.

Anyone catch this? yeah, Adell did! Also, if he catches the ball before if clears the wall and then falls into the stands, it's an out. It's hard to tell on this one without slowing it down.

Technically, if the starter doesn't go five innings, the official scorer can give it to the pitcher they think deserves it the most.

The bigger question is who gets the W?

He is pitching like a guy who had a a 6+ ERA with three MLB organizations prior to the Tigers and couldn't make the Tigers team in 2025.

Keider Montero will probably be just as good/bad as Verlander. I still feel as if Verlander might be able to get on a roll at some point like he did last year and that would be fun, but I am not counting on it.

That used be the case, but the NL has caught up in recent years. 2023 NL 362 AL 328 2024 NL 369 AL 321 2025 AL 367 NL 353 2026 NL 27 AL 21

I don't think many MLB managers reserve the #3 spot for the best hitter on the team anymore.

"supposed to"

I think the only time I want to see a sacrifice bunt is in the ninth inning behind by one or tied with a weak hitter at the plate.

I am also not sure how useful it would be for Greene to lay down a perfect sacrifice only to have Torkelson retired on a towering flyball that he "just missed".

I do think if a team ranks better in pct of innings scored than it does in runs scored, then it probably indicates they are relying less on home runs than other teams. I don't know if that's a bad or good thing though.
