  1. The Tigers had a below the median home attendance for 2025. There are 16 major league clubs that will do better. The Fanduel deal was substantially reduced this year, by some accounts. This is a below average revenue producing team. Skubal is about due for another major surgery given the number of stressful innings on his arm, and is a major risk after 2026. Pass on Skubal. Mike I, show some masculine accouterments, and buy A third baseman to lengthen the lineup and sign a quality SP, and stop ****ing around and create your own sports network.
  2. 12 batters in six runs scored. Time to do something else than watching this. Incredibly bad baseball.
  3. Does anybody have a witch doctor on speed dial? We need all the help we can. Maybe someone can come up with a live chicken...
  4. Win the effing game!
  5. Thanks for the clarification on Kreidler. I wish him well. While he had limited ability, I have often felt that his early and repeated injuries changed his career path very sharply.
  6. I am not sure where to put this post, but amI understanding this correctly ? Is Kreidler no longer with the organization?
  7. Local sports electronic media is too predictable to waste time upon. Everyone has adpoted the " Drunk Sitting on the Barstool Shtick." It's all about controversy and baitclicks for most of local radio media. in Detroit. Generally, I think it's just as useless as nipples on a gelded boar.
  8. The last loss to Minny took the wind out of my sails. We just need everyone to do what they can do
  9. Do we need to send these guys a bus load of Ice Follies skaters, or 2 bus loads of Burbon street Strippers?
  10. Won't expansion be a great destabilizing influence for MLB? Baseball is in great danger of becoming like watching the Harlem Globetrotters versus the Washington Generals. The league is in danger of becoming pure entertainment, like professional wrasslin' in my estimation, with nary any true sport in sight Granted we are not there yet, but when there is basically 4 teams and 26 dwarves, competition suffers.
  11. Good to see that Olson is back.
  12. Let's get cooking in a hurry and open up a can of instant runs!
  13. Looks like a nice crowd, size wise.
  14. The first time I was very conscious of whom Benetti was, he was on a national college football broadcast( Washington vs Utah maybe??). He was super. During the first season that Benetti was our PBP, far too many times, regardless of whom he was paired with, the whole presentation sounded like a simulation of Beavis and Butthead doing play by play. This year, the presentation seems to be more focused on the game with some fun thrown in, but I am not completely sold. Given the current trend of the TV broadcasts, I most probably will not subscribe to Fanduel Sports Detroit next season. I want the ballgame to be front and center and not some sideshow act in a Vegas Hotel. Given the sports ads , the constant missing of important plays due to in game interviews, and the drunken bar stool spiel, I think starting next year it will be radio only. The constant distractions in the broad cast are just not worth it.
  15. Does a hamstring have the chops for that? The whole idea is bacon me crazy !
  16. I don't see a world in which the Tigers trade anything for Bichette. But asking for the moon, only to agree for less, the might be a taker somewhere for it. The way the Pittsburgh GM runs the Pirates anything might be possible.
  17. What would the asking price would be too steep unless one would belive the window is closing for the Tigers. Is Bichette reasonable for a package of say, Max Anderson, Jaden Hamm, and either Jace Jung or JayHen? I don't know. If I am Toronto, I want a top 5 prospect.
  18. Sometimes, When Breeding horses, a mare might be in heat, but she refuses to accept the desired stallion. In that case, a mare might be receptive to another stallion,so she is teased with the inferior male, and then the old switcheroo is done as the last moment. We were victims of the old switcheroo and we never destined for anything else.
  19. On a totally unrelated note, I saw an FB post on Tiger pride that Illitch has sold 10 percent of the team. Is there any truth to this?
  20. The constant gambling promotion and the insane numbers of in game interviews saturated with plugola are making the broadcasts unwatchable.
  21. OOPs!!! Should have read the link . 1900 was pre- Wrigley, but the post was refering to 1975.My bad!!
  22. Actually, this was pre-Wrigley field.
  23. I find this Skubal conversation fascinating. I think Boras starts the bidding at 8/550, with a settlement at around 6/450 by the Dodgers. He will never sign for a paltry 200 mil.
  24. I wonder what the over/under is for the Tigers winning 100 games.
