  1. Can't believe they didn't make that happen to start with. Now it might
  2. I saw Robin Yount hit it off the facing of the upper deck a little to the left of center and of course on opening day of 1985 Larry Herndon hit it off the facing into a stiff breeze straight away. That was the hardest hit ball I've ever seen. They lost 4-1 and Sparky was not impressed saying " I'm not a home run guy" lol.
  3. They walked it off about 20 years ago and determined the 440 sign is actually 420.
  4. Devers must be toxic as hell for the Sox to get rid of him for a bucket of prospects. For those that wonder why the Tiger's didn't try to trade probably a lot better package... he's sort of a jerk and no matter what his WAR and OPS+ is they don't want that on the team. Plus, the Giants are picking up the rest of his 313 million dollar contract.
  5. One of my favorites. Harrelson's demeanor and cadence was top notch. As was his knowledge of the game and intensity. In fact, a self admitted hot-head who speant many years trying to control his temper. Showed his emotions on his sleave and was a reason to tune him in on WGN back when that was a thing along with Harry Carry with the cubbies. Also, one of the great sports stories with his short but interesting baseball playing career and foray in pro golf his legendary style statements and career ending injuries and then GM of the White Sox to broadcasting. Should be a movie made of Hawk.
  6. Flaherty's ERA went from a respectable 3.41 to over 4. Ouch
  7. He was a .280 hitter who never walked and limited power. Those were the Tiger's choice of offense. Throwback to 60's 70's. where the media would get exited over someone who could hit over .270 no matter any stupid anylitics crap.
  8. Wind should be blowing in today. Let's try to keep the balls in the park this time..
  9. But they scored 13 one game Wow!
  10. The smoke held it up.
  11. Rob Deer! He's missing a lot of middle middle balls. I'm a Tork fan but still not sold he's over anything.
  12. Another snoozer. I'll take.em'. Keep winning divisional snoozer series'. The Chisux next.
  13. Eirnie has the last say
  14. There's always Maddux who's barely humanlike in control but he didn't have the velocity of Skubal. It's rare to get 250+ k's and get under 50- 60 walks. There's a few off the top of my head but have to dig deeper to find the all- time guys.
  15. Reminds of Santana, Verlander and Scherzer in their prime.
  16. Deserves more than 5 wins through a 3rd of the season.
  17. Yes. They lead the AL in era. Hitting wise is a different story. Check out thst line-up. Oh, just let me vent!
  18. Is's sad he lost to a AAAA team today. After 90 pitches nonetheless. Bleh
  19. First Pete, now repeat.
  20. If I was a betting man(which I am) I would definitely put all the chips in for a Tiger's win today. Skubal pitching the final of a 4 game series that you've lost the first three, appearing Somnambulistic in doing so. All intangibles go to the Tigers . Now just win.
  21. Its far more likely Cleveland than Minny for serious contenders. It's more lkkely, they have playedl below thier talent level so far this season. They actually play Harris type ball or how Harris wants the Tigers to be. Must win with Skubal t9morrow
  22. He's a career negative WAR guy. Anyway you slice it.
  23. Did I hear rigjt Greene went to the IL after the game?
