    To that end, none of this seems particularly surprising. People will be enraged, as they should, but Al is now gone. The question is what, if anything, they (and presumably whoever they hire to replace Al) do to fix it.

    Whether it's luck or not, it's crazy that the Tigers have gotten so few wins off of the results they have had pitching wise, particularly in this latest stretch.

    I dont want to take anything away from Cy Sandoval, but Good Lord this offense blows

    Skubal did once I believe

    Thread... seems like it all worked out and he's welcomed back
  6. mtutiger
    He wasn't pitching much recently, which was maybe a tell lol

    Right. Just seems like there's very little daylight between thinking "AJ is the best thing that has happened to the Tigers" and "AJ Hinch is trash".... the reality is that he's a good baseball man who has had success in this league and has a ring, the Tigers are lucky to have him under the circumstances, but that he's also not perfect and has likely made some mistakes as well. Like a lot of subjects around the Tigers, it's just one that generally doesn't have room for nuance.

    I like AJ Hinch, believe that we are lucky to have him given the circumstances and agree with those that believe he isn't remotely the biggest problem with the club right now. But I don't believe that he's fully clean of the issues going on with the club either.... Coolbaugh is a good place to start, as one imagines he has sway over who is and isn't on his coaching staff.

    The official line is achilles... not into conspiracies, so gonna go with until known otherwise

    Regular season game

    People have joked many times about the likelihood of seeing Parker before Austin in a Tigers uniform. Not happening, but at this rate, it may end up being too close for comfort lol

    Brant Hurter has had quite a rise...

    Chas is referring to Pipeline's Overall Top 100 list.... Flores is unranked on that list.

    Depends on the list - he's unnumbered on Pipeline, but did crack BA's list.

    I probably have a different view of it, but he is gone now and the organization can't change anything he did or the fact that they held on for too long. But the fact that he is gone engenders more hope than despair, even though the next year or two might come with frustrations.

    Is it surprising though? There have been countless conversations about their lack of depth here. I don't know that Avila's firing broke new ground.
  19. mtutiger
    Correct. Maybe you add Colt Keith or Izaac Pacheco to the list, although it's may not be smart to deal either of them either long term. I do think Chas is a little harsh on Flores.... he doesn't show up on Pipeline, but does appear on other lists IIRC

    Switch out Madden for Brieske, and that's probably right.

    More than just the polls, this is a reason why the Senate picture doesn't look great for the Rs. Have to imagine McConnell didn't think he'd have to spend significant cheddar in Ohio.
  22. mtutiger
    Fair enough, but with respect to the poll we are discussing, it would be Johnson with that issue at the moment more than Barnes.

    This from RJ Anderson is a pretty good piece on Daniels and how things ended in Texas. It should read somewhat familiar to Tigers fans... the Rangers aren't in as bad of a place, but they have been plagued with similar issues in terms of not turning around high draft picks and issues with developing talent in the latter part of the 2010s and into the 2020s. I would prefer they go a different route
  24. mtutiger
    Completely fair. I would rather have both as well, tbh, although I don't know that it's a slam dunk either.
  25. mtutiger
    In general, whenever this conversation comes up, it seems like a baked in assumption that there is zero cost in terms of other selections had the Tigers switched out Jobe for Mayer. Believing that Mayer or Lawlar would have been better selections is completely a legit view... I wouldn't have preferred Jobe there either. But we also can't say that, had they gone with Mayer, they would have also gotten Pacheco and/or Madden. Maybe that's a risk or sacrifice worth taking for some folks, but that context should at least be acknowledged when this conversation comes up.
