  1. Tucker at 400/10 is the safer bet, as pitchers break down. but that is probably the floor for him.
  2. Bezos has gone full MAGA. All that is missing from this "survey" is "Do you want your daughter to be raped by a tranny? yes or no."
  3. with a QO attached, nope. He can bank the $22.5M, get rid of the QO, and hope for a healthier season in 2026. he was not good the 2nd half of the season.
  4. I think Torres is coming back under the QO, which is fine. They need to add a RH bat and it will be in CF or RF if they are looking to get playing time for McGonigle, Anderson and Lee in an already crowded IF. need to sign 2 SPS and 2 RPs - none on the Cobb or Maeda level division is there for the taking if they want it
  5. that's surprising. the heart says keep him, make a WS run, and maybe Iitch makes, and Skubal accepts, a $400M deal but the heart is dead wrong, and the head says trade him before he walks for (almost) nothing
  6. success in better than failure in the AFL, but McGonigle and Anderson are continuing to hit really well, just like Liranzo and Briceno did last year
  7. Harris said there is no Skubal window or Skubal timeline that is influencing his decisions
  8. note to Brian Branch: did you see how effective a bunch of guys were - all a lot less talented than you - when they played smart, disciplined football?
  9. refs were awful. but mostly helping Detroit. Wheat tripping Mayfield was a horrible miss.
  10. 10 years and 400M are the conservative estimates. I won't be surprised by 11 or 12 years and 440M or more. need a couple of more teams to join the Phillies and Mets in a bidding war, and then Harris should trade Skubal this winter before he walks for a 2027 comp pick who might turn into a Top 100 prospect in 2032.
  11. Harris needs to do 3 things this Winter that I don't think he has done before: 1. Sign an impact FA (Bregman or Bichette are only clean fits) 2. Trade real young talent/prospects. They do not need 7 guys for second base. 3. Trade a superstar. Skubal is leaving. And if all they get is a 2027 draft pick as compensation, THAT will set the franchise back for years.
  12. worth repeating what others have pointed out. Skubal did not get the job done in Game 5 last year; this is his 2nd chance to get the Tigers to the ALDS. His performance here will not effect his FA contract either way, but now is the chance to show everyone that he is a $400M pitcher.
  13. 12 runs in the last 9 innings
  14. Props to Melton, but Finnegan stopped this from being a 11-0 beatdown
  15. really think the 9th inning last night dislodged something
  16. well Greene just pissed off a lot of people here
  17. Historic collapse. They have not won at home in over a month. They scored 3, then 2, then 1 run vs. Seattle's core pitching staff. No reason for them to win. At least show some fight guys.
  18. Harris has done a great job improving all levels of the organization, and winning most trades, and getting to the playoffs a lot sooner than anyone really thought possible, and advancing one round each year, and winning 2 and then 1 games in the ALDS. There are only 8 teams still playing! I think he has done a great job so far, but it is fair at this point to ask it you need a different approach now that the organization is competent. Too much patience becomes a lack of urgency, and this series is a microcosm of that. Right now, it is hard to see how they get this series into Skubal's hand, and that is a f******* crime. Harris said there was no "timeline" dictated by Skubal's control and there was no extra pressure to maximize the best pitcher in baseball. Well Scott, maybe there should have been?
  19. for a team crushed by CB injuries, not sure why an injured CB is the answer
  20. If Ilitch cared about winning, he would send a clear message this morning by firing Scott Harris.
  21. feeling like they score either 1 or 2 runs, which won't be enough
  22. they will open with a prayer to Jesus Christ, anyone who does not join in? - off to Levenworth. then they will praise their Orange God, the greatest American who ever lived, the first to stop clapping? - off to Gitmo. then they will praise Hegseth and his 92 minutes of sobriety, any big guy who does not have tears coming out his eyes - huge tears - with be outed as a trans and demoted to KP.
