UCFKNIGHT

Feeling good about the Tigers win this evening. Great to have our beloved Tigers back in the win column. At this time, I believe the Tigers may play 135 one run games.🤣

Would it be possible to acquire a cather 19 games into the 2024 season? Jake Rogers and Carson Kelly are automatic outs these days. I liked the hiring of Scott Harris, but my patience with his decision making is being tested.

Should AJ move Kenta Mazda to the bullpen for a few weeks? Moving him to the bullpen is an expensive move. Paying a pitcher 12 million to pitch in low leverage situations may also appear to be a panic move.

The Al Avila administration wasted a first round draft pick on Spencer Torkelson. The Scott Harris administration knows this. The only reason Torkelson is on this roster is because he was the first player selected. Parker Meadows should also be sent down to AAA.

Would Buddy Kennedy be a better option than Zach Mckinstry?

Torkelson reminds me of Bob Horner. Both guys were drafted out of Arizona State. Horner knew how to frustrate Braves fans and Torkelson is currently frustrating Tigers fans. Horner would often have 3 or 4 doubles in a game and proceed to have 5 strikeouts the next night. Torkelson does basically the same thing. It's only a matter of time before Torkelson begins to gain weight and end up playing in Japan.

Can we please wake-up the damn bats?!!

I hope Eric can rebuild his baseball career. I know Eric has a family, however he should consider playing in Japan or Korea for a few years. Playing in Japan would help him improve his hitting and defense. Japanese players are much better at fundamental baseball skills. Foreign players can make pretty good money in Japan. In the early 80’s Warren Cromartie left the Montreal Expos for the Tokyo Giants. Warren Cromartie excelled in Japan and enjoyed the best seven years of his pro baseball career.

Any interest in Christian Walker from the Diamondbacks? If the Orioles want Michael Lorenzen or Eduardo Rodriguez, Scott Harris should demand Grayson Rodriguez in return.

Joey Bart is a first round bust. The Tigers already have enough first round bust in the organization: Torkelson, Faedo, and Manning. I don’t care about Manning’s participation in a combined no-hitter. Spencer Turnbull was a second round pick and he hasn’t been able to recover from a stiff neck. Steve Carlton and Orel Hershiser would laught at the soft and weak attitude of Detroit’s pitching staff.

Scott Harris should definitely consider filing A.J. Hinch. This team has tuned him out.

Nice job. Tigers created their own extra innings opportunity tonight.

Trea Turner is now in Philadelphia. Xander Bogaerts is in San Diego and Dansby Swanson is wearing a Cubs uniform. Who needs a shortstop? I wouldn’t mind having Gio Urshela in a Tigers uniform. LAA is one of the few teams that could probably take Javier Báez contract off Detroit’s hands.

I believe former GM Al Avila and the previous scouting staff made horrible draft decisions on: Casey Mize, Matt Manning, and Alex Faedo. The 2023 Detroit Tigers will be lucky if they win 40 games. AJ Hinch better count his blessings. He’s luck to have current Tigers GM(Scott Harris) as a friend. Also, I believe no other field manager like Joe Maddon or Joe Girardi would want to manage the Detroit Tigers and this AA roster committing fraud as a MLB team.

Can we get JV and Xander Bogaerts to sign multi year contracts in Detroit? JV might be willing to give the Tigers the home team discount. Tre Turner, Carlos Correa and Dansby Swanson, I believe, will be out of the Tigers price range. Bringing Bogaerts to Detroit would move Javy Baez to 2base and I would be okay with that.

Marty Castillo, Howard Johnson, Larry Herndon and Dwight Lowry. My all-time junkyard dog players from our beloved 1984 Tigers. Each night, during that magical season, a different hero got the job done.

Any interest in Josh Bell? I would really like to see the Tigers sign Jose Abreu away from the White Sox, however I believe Abreu’s contract demands could be very pricey for Scott Harris.

I realize this probably isn’t gonna happen because Al Avila is no longer Detroit’s GM, however JV needs to come back home to finish his fabulous career. Put the cherry atop the cake and enter the HOF as a Detroit Tiger. Right now, I’m thinking with my heart and not my head.

The Tigers have a new Director of Baseball Operations. I believe AJ Hinch and his entire coaching staff will be fired at the end of this current season. Don’t be shocked if Bruce Bochy is named new field manager in Detroit. Bruce hasn’t been retired and away from the game for long.

I believe Kinsler is currently working for the San Diego Padres in their front office. Perhaps bring in Joe Girardi as the new Tigers field manager. I know Girardi had some bad Phillies teams, however I would rather hire Joe Girardi over Joe Maddon. I could never tolerate Maddon’s costumes road trips when he managed the Tampa Bay Rays. Pay AJ Hinch to stay home in 2023 and start a new rebuild. Bud Black(Colorado) and former Tiger(Torey Lovullo) may also be looking for jobs after 2022 but I’d still hire Girardi.

I would suggest the Tigers trade Spencer Torkelson, however I am sure Al Avila would find a way to mess up the transaction. I believe the Tigers missed on the drafting of Casey Mize, Matt Manning and Spencer Torkelson. I hope I am proven wrong, soon.

I believe Detroit should be allowed to void Eduardo Rodriguez’s contract. I just hope MLB doesn’t allow him(Rodriguez) to pitch for another team in 2023, 2024 or 2025. Im not sure if MLB can suspend a player for that length of time, however I believe it would be unfair to the Tigers if Rodriguez was allowed to sign and pitch for any other team in 2023. At some point, I’m sure the MLB players association will get involved in this mess.

Bobby Higginson liked the ladies a little too much and I believe they were a distraction and contributed to his downfall.

Hopefully, Miggy will be selected for the All-Star game in Los Angeles.

I’m happy Drew Hutchison was credited with the win this evening. DFA twice, declared free agency twice and signed 3 minor league contracts all in one season. Hutchison, I believe, signed his first minor league contract to attend spring training. Baseball is a strange, terrifying and lovely game at the same time.
