When I was 20 I played in a league where it was the norm to run on and off the field, stay in the batter's box between pitches, and the pitcher would catch the ball from the catcher and be ready for the next pitch without screwing around. We played two 7 inning games with a 15 minute break in-between the games quicker than the typical Yankees-Red Sox game would last.

I dont like to dog on Casey but he needs to come through tonight.
He is the one I have the least amount of confidence in. I always think the offense will need to be at the top of their game and hopefully he can get through 5 with only giving 4 runs.

No matter what happens in these last dozen games, the future should be bright for this team. If only we had those 8 blown saves back from Miller...even half of them.
We'll see.
People were ready to coronate the Lions this season but the future is never certain.

Witt owns the Tigers.

Anything other than playoffs after a 10 year rebuild is a failure.
Winning a playoff series or even a world series depends a lot on luck and fortune. But 162 games is a lot more telling as to how a team is constructed.

Nobody can expect to sweep every series against even bad teams. Even bad teams are filled with the best professional athletes in this discipline in the world.
John Kruk corrected a reporter once who called him an athlete with "I'm not an athlete, I'm a baseball player."

Mathematically and reality are different things. No way any of those teams even come remotely close to the white Sox.
No one sane thinks the White Sox are going to make up 19 games on the Marlins.

This will be a tough match up for Mize, although Boston has lost 6 out of 8. Hopefully he can change speeds effectively.

Are you going to Chicago just to see the tigers?

Which has absolutely ZERO to do with the game against the Lions on Saturday.
Yet had everything to do with your post about Mahomes only being able to do amazing things against 2nd/3rd teamers. The dude HAS DESTROYED everyone he has played against yet somehow your post makes it out like he can only beat up on scrubs.
I even used all caps in my post too.

Verlander isn't doing anything for anyone other than himself. I'm not saying it is wrong, but he isn't a giving caring type of person.

Tork isn't getting moved in the offseason. What would be the point? Harris and Ilitch are not going to sign someone to big bucks to play first. It's his position next year.

That and "Superstar Mahomes" did ALL of that against 2nd/3rd teamers. WOW... such an accomplishment...
sure...he can only do stuff against 2nd/3rd teamers. I guess all those playoff and super bowl wins never happened.

Malloy made the most sense. There was no way they were DFAing McKinstry.

It will be Sweeney but only for a couple weeks until rosters expand.
I would assume that or maybe Malloy. AJ has a huge mancrush on McKinstry. I dont mind him on the roster but he seems to get way too many ABs.
-
McKinstry isn't going anywhere.

I remember seeing Gleyber Torres with our NWL short season Cubs A team the Boise Hawks when he was 17 and he already looked like a polished veteran. He was breathtaking to watch in the field. As I followed his career I was amazed at the power he exhibited that was seemingly absent at 17. That stuff about power being the last thing to come around I guess is true.
Well, a 17 year old isn't a grown adult. People get stronger after 17.

Baseball is like a roller coaster, streaks one way and then the other.

They could change the outcome of the 1985 WS because of one of the worst calls in mlb history.

I don't know why I'm saying this cause it's just going to be a jinx but looking at our remaining schedule and we have 17 games against the White Sox, Angels, Rockies and A's. The White Sox are obviously all time terrible but the other 3 are outside of the Marlins the definitive worst teams in baseball.
If we can clean up on those games and go something like 13-4 we'd have a strong chance to finish above .500 for the first time since 2016.
The funny thing is those other team's are looking at their games with the Tigers and saying the same thing that they should win most of those.

I’ll bet most players enjoy interacting and autographing for the kids rather than adults. My hunch is that (1) it’s just more fun to deal with the kids and the whole environment of the little league atmosphere and (2) it’s less likely that what gets signed today ends up being transacted as a sale later this week.
For all of the stupid things that baseball does / doesn’t do, this annual little league game seems to be done well.
I was a kid and asked Gibson for an autograph and he actually signed. Surprised after hearing stories about him later.
When Stafford was the QB for Detroit, he was at a Pistons game and these two kids went up to him and asked for an autograph, he was getting ready to sign when his boss interrupted and told the kids to get lost. He meekly shook his head no to the kids as Kelly gloated over the kids. Just another reason I dislike her.

10 base runners in 4.1 IP. I know they were pitching around Witt and walked him 3x, but that many runners in that short of span is a recipe for disaster.
