  1. The key is to ignore April every year.
  2. Several. Alex Avila, Austin Jackson and Rick Porcello to name a few. Andrew Miller is younger and he made his debut 4 years earlier.
  3. I have the same birthdate as Brennan Boesch.
  4. I had to look this up. The first MLB player was Felix Hernandez, who actually made his ML debut against the Tigers. The first Tiger younger than me was Andrew Miller, by 1 month.
  5. Miguel Cabrera is the only Tigers player older than me.
  6. His first full season was also my first year as a baseball fan and I also was upset they got rid of him as there wasn't much to get excited about the '99 team. He was an exciting player.
  7. Shhh...don't criticize Hinch.
  8. I think it's very much a individual thing. Take Max Scherzer. When he first came up, everyone was predicting a major injury from him because of his delivery and he's been relatively healthy his whole career. Now take Justin Verlander, who most people would consider has the perfect delivery, missed time in 2015 due to injury and later had TJ surgery. Scherzer, while being a regular starting pitcher for the prior 4 years, didn't hit 200 innings until his age 28 season. Verlander, on the other hand, had 5 years of 200+ innings through his age 28 season (including 2 years at 240+). Maybe Verlander was overworked early in his career and that was the cause of TJ surgery?
  9. Are we not going to talk about Jack Morris' ignorant comment? Remember last year when he was suspended for using an insensitive accent while Shohei Ohtani was batting? Why is Jack Morris still here?
  10. There hasn't been any updates on Mize either. Wasn't he supposed to get more tests done today?
  11. Shortening people's names who normal don't have them shortened can sound strange. Jon Schoop Harry Castro Ty Alexander Mike Fulmer
  12. When do we start playing non-good teams?
  13. Fire Ausmus...I mean Gardenhire...I mean... All managers suck.
  14. Avila is the one that said we had to win in April.
  15. There were terrible calls by the umpires on opening day and Hinch did absolutely nothing. I miss the days where managers would get ejected by arguing bad calls. Is it too early to call for Hinch's head?
  16. Ah you found it! Yeah, a double steal makes more sense. Sounds like he would've been a fun player to watch.
  17. I remember reading a story where a team was trying to do a hit and run. The batter swung and missed, but the runner successfully made it to 2nd. The runner yelled back, "let's try it again!" And on the next pitch he ran back to first base. Everyone just stood there shocked, the batter, catcher, umpires. The rulebook was changed the following year to state that runners cannot run the bases backwards. I wish I could remember more details.
  18. I just found out he was on the Opening Day roster.
  19. This year is also the year of the Tiger in Chinese New Year.
  20. I can't keep up with all the playoff rounds, so I'll just guess: Mets over Angels in 7 AL MVP - Jose Ramirez AL Cy Young - Dylan Cease AL Rookie - Julio Rodriguez NL MVP - Fernando Tatis Jr. NL Cy Young - Sandy Alcantara NL Rookie - Brennen Davis
  21. Yes, I was always spelling it Parades too. I'm still bummed that I learned how to spell Tuiasosopo and Saltalamacchia and they were only here for a short time. I could've used those brain cells for better use.
  22. I've used it for the last few years. It's good for the whole season. *Blackout restrictions apply.
