Hutch is a freakin' beast. Strip sack machine

OK...officials didn't call Harper for PI. Prolly could have.

True. But then we need to look at what he did last off-season with a playoff team. Other than Torres falling into our lap, in a position that wasn't a glaring need, he did very little. Got played by Boras in the Bregman deal, using our offer to shop him around. Not a good sign if he wants to sign future Boras agents.

All kinds of people want to defend Scott Harris. And I say the Tigers could have gone deeper in the playoffs, last year and this year, with a few tweaks at the trade deadline. Forget the 15 million dollars he wasted on Cobb, but also look at the major players on this team. With the exception of McKinstry and Torres,who did Scott acquire? Most of these guys are Avila's guys. He hung onto many prospects that he promised "would help this season." It was more his inability to get any deals done, other than for guys who helped us lose several games.

They said it wasn't reviewed. Officials just had a meeting.

Wasn't reviewed. Officials got together...

The. Fix. Is. In.

The KC speed has me a bit worried. And I don't understand why they struggle in the red zone.

I don't think Scott Harris is a smart GM. Either his hands are tied on increasing payroll or he's terrified of giving up young players for proven and established players. He did a really good job rebuilding our farm system but trades and free agency are also part of his job. And in those 2 parts, he's failed. But yeah, playing other GM's against each other won't work. Especially against a more experienced guy like DD.

This is beyond what Scott Harris is capable of. At least, in the past. He doesn't make blockbuster trades. And if (when) he trades Skubal, it will probably be for young, cost controlled prospects. I'm not sure he would be allowed to double our payroll. A smart GM would let it be known that an NL team is interested, use a bidding war to get some team to overpay. It wouldn't surprise me if the Tigers keep Skubal next season and just take a comp pick.

The Tampa home game and LA road game will be, could be, tough. But every time I underestimate the Lions, they surprise me. Just...go ahead and win them all. Impress me...😅😅

Watching the TV game offerings today; Denver-Jets...Dallas-Carolina....Pittsburgh-Cleveland...proves one thing for sure. There are many really bad football teams out there. I'm glad our team is elite. 😅

Give me ownership of the Tigers and a billion dollars and I would spend so much, it would make your head spin. No salary cap? Fine, I would go all in. It's only...money.

More gold logic from that clown;

My post just....disappeared. Now it shows up....huh.

Denver beat Philly but today they looked like a lottery team. Yes, good defense but their offense looked horrible. That's good for the Lions chances at Philadelphia. Denver played very, very conservative. Pretty boring football.

I also read a comment that called for hats and shirts to say *** The Game Recap....lmao

On paper, the Tigers should have a pretty good starting rotation. 6 starting pitchers...Skubal, Mize, Olson, Jobe, Flaherty and Melton. If Flahert stays and injuries don't happen. Olson should be ready for spring, I don't know the timetable on Jobe.

IDK about this. If he cuts back on his strikeouts he probably will sacrifice some power. Say...20 to 25 home runs but only 125 strikeouts? He would probably increase his RBI total. IMO, he would be a much more valuable #3 hitter. As it is, he's a #6 or #7 hitter at best. Hinch needs to adjust his thinking about Riley if he doesn't change his swing.

Dan Dickerson saying what he really thinks of game 5;

Branch and Kirby are also hurt? Our injured secondary against these KC speedsters? This may be loss #2.

Riley really needs to overhaul his swing this off-season. No way should he be allowed to strikeout over 200 times while hitting in the middle of the lineup. Harris hasn't made any big trades or signed any quality free agents, other than Torres and he kinda fell into our lap. Expecting him to trade our best player is somewhat unrealistic. And we really don't know the full story of his inability to bring in trade deadline talent. For all we know, he may have been told not to add any big salaries to our payroll. If Skubal has another Cy Young season in 2026, I could see some team offering Boras that $400m/10 year contract. I just don't see the Tigers winning that bidding war. Dodgers, Yankees or Mets. Maybe San Diego. Trade him in the off-season? Again, Harris hasn't made any huge trades. We'll see...

I hear Riley Greene was hitting in a stewardess on the flight home. Yeah, he struck out. : )

Wild pitch?
