Wow! Stolen base!

How about that!! A walk by Medows.

I predict a Pirates win. The Tigers had a lot of problems with Keller in the past IIRC.

After watching Sunday's game, my question is, have they made Javy Baez the hitting instructor? The general overall hitting approach was not FCL league standards. Absolutely disgusting. I think with TORK!, we have seen the second coming of Rob Deer. Spencer Deer, ugh. Here's hoping he doesn't become Spencer Oyler.

So far, this team has been fun to watch. My biggest take away so far has been that the pitching has been superb. As for the start, we have a light schedule in March and April. It must be noted that it's early.

I thought at of the beginning of the season we could sweep the White Sox, the Mets, and the A's to start the year, and still finish the year with 84 wins. It is a long season, but it is nice to see after the last multiple dismal starts.

OOPS!!! I meant Baltimore and Atlanta, What a senior moment!!!

Matt Manning returns to Detroit by June 15, as Kenta Maeda goes down. Parker Meadows has a 4 WAR season. Reese Olson pitches a minimum of 140 innings. Jake Rodgers hits 35 homers.

It is possible that the players are trying to build a collusion case against the owners?

Spending doesn't guarantee anything. This year's free agent class wasn't anything to get excited about. So many free agents that are out there represent a five to 7 year commitment for 2 years production, if the team is lucky. That is a recipe that will hamstring a team. Chapman, Yamamoto, and Ohtani do not excite me, nor does Jack Flarhety for that matter. What I am looking for are solid contributors that don't effectively hamstring a team. I am tired of seeing the Jordan Zimmerman types waft through Detroit, having all the usefulness of teats on a gelded boar hog.

After seeing the projections thus far, I am very tempted to put money down on the Tigers beating the 79 win projection by Vagas odds makers, although I realize the odds will change. I see an 84 win team.

Under 18 they are protected by law, over 75 they are protected by nature. Anywhere in between is fair game.

A likely candidate. Nick Maton might be conceivable as well.

So, who is removed from the 40 man to make room for Kieth?

Mize settles on what seems to be a deal that could have been made earlier. Hmmm...

The way the article reads, I am confused. Does the agreement cover streaming rights after the 2024 season or does it start in 2024? If it starts in 2024, I am covered through amazon.If Amazon starts streaming in 2025, then I will need to renews my Bally sports subscription in a couple of weeks. I think my move is to let the bally subscription lapse and see how this shakes out over the next few weeks.

This all seems to make sense. I read McCosky's article on the the Mize arbitration case, and that seemed to lack basic clarity of thought. As a beat writer, there should be some sense of duty to clarify. I know, I know I just branded my self as a reprobate from the stone age.

I would get excited if we had one more position players capable of 1.5 WAR, like a different 3b guy. I agree that we can't be 7 or 8 games under .500 at the 20 game mark.

I am guardedly optimistic. The bullpen looks to be solid. The starting pitching is somewhat suspect. With a little use of the depth that seems to be bubbling up in the system, any shortfall can be plugged when playing in the weak AL Central. Third base remains a problem. This lineup, while lengthened with the addition of Canha and some glimmer of hope from Keith, seems a little too light to win 88 to 90 games. 82 to 84 games seems about right.

Who gives a rip about lawsuits anyway? You can sue a ham sandwich. If the market can truly afford this, LA will laugh all the way to the bank. If it's an organizational threatening overpay, I don't care so long as I don't have to pony up. If someone were to ask me to bail out the Dodgers. I would vehemently insist they perform a difficult anatomical act with a rolling doughnut.

Like the SP signing. It makes sense given the state of Tiger pitching. We need one more SP though.

This looks to be more than I expected with respect to cleaning up the roster. I would expect a possibility of a minor league contract for Garrett Hill.

Nothing is forever. There is a season for everything, and this appears to be Benetti's in Detroit. He will be better than Shep by far.

Sonny Gray sounds about right
