I remember several years ago, a Tiger pitcher went on the IL with a stiff neck. People said it was from watching his pitches get hit 450 feet. Lol

Silly idea. Next, we'll hear a rule proposal that says outfielders have to have their back to home plate. 😅😅

Agreed. We already have a few 2nd base options, as well as some prospects. Forget middle infielders, sign some quality pitchers...

I see he's under contract with Arizona. He's also been playing 2nd base. Can he still play SS? "On April 2, 2025, the Diamondbacks signed Marte to a six-year contract extension worth a guaranteed $116.5 million."

Hinch knows, and has said, sometimes a "save" is made in the 8th inning against the heart of an opposing teams lineup. Thats when a manager wants to use his "closer." Makes sense...

Matt Manning signs with the Lions. The Samsung Lions of the KBO League in South Korea. 😆

He already has an overabudance of young talented infielders. Prospects. Most of them flame out. But until they do, they're a good trading asset. It's why many people wanted him to part with some of them last trade deadline. And maybe he tried, who really knows? Harris mostly likes to keep things close to the vest.

Harris has done a very good job, quickly rebuilding our minor league talent. But his trades have been underwhelming. And the money he's wasted on free agents...

Sewell will play. He's a warrior. As for the Dallas pass rush? They have that same pass rush in their other games and they're still ranked around 30th in pass defense. Even though they've acquired some reinforcement. So yeah, an area of concern. But I really do see the Lions coming out very aggressive. That Ragnow incident may cause a chip on the other players shoulders. They'll want to prove they're capable of getting the job done.

Last I saw, the Cowboys pass defense was 30th in the NFL. TeSlaa will go for 150 yards and 2 TDs. Jamo even better. Use Gibbs as a wideout with Montgomery in the backfield. This game is pretty much a must win...we need to go at least 4-1 and then hope for help.

Once bitten, twice shy. 😆

I agree but maybe if they had a real closer they may change their minds? "Fairbanks would certainly become the Tigers’ new closer as the organization looks to maximize its playoff window with Tarik Skubal." https://sportsnaut.com/mlb/detroit-tigers-linked-elite-closer-2025-mlb-free-agency

Does that mean the Mets won't sign Edwin Diaz?

Is Finnegan worth a $20M, 2 year contract? I say, yes please.

People actually believe this guy???

22 turnovers. Teams that turn the ball over 22 times probably hardly ever win. I'm glad they won but they have some serious cleaning up to do.

Pretty cool slow mo;

Beating the teams you're supposed to beat is the sign of a good team. Chicago will (may) be really good with a couple/few good drafts.

I thought Trey was back? Guess not...

4th quarters can be a problem for tired teams. Stay close and finish them off late.

Good call. Its hard to believe he's only 26 years old. I would probably want him over Suarez or Bregman. Suarez too many swing and misses and Bregman too expensive for too long, probably.

Very true. I would have no problem with the Tigers concentrating their resources on pitching. No Morton or Cobb types, quality arms over quantity. Even though, IMO, the Tigers will go after Suarez. I'm not saying I want them to or they should, I just think they will. It would give me something to complain about next summer...🤣🤣🤣

The Tigers desperately need batters who can put the ball in play. Whether they're All Stars or not is meaningless, the All Star game is just a popularity contest. But we need guys who can knock in runners from 3rd base with less than 2 outs. Hopefully, Riley is busy this winter working on that swing that struck out over 200 times. I just want the Tigers to sign a starting pitcher, a couple of quality bullpen arms and a position player...maybe a 3rd baseman? Or a centerfielder? Even though I really like the defense from Meadows...but he HAS to hit.
