My original point was ST actually matters, performance wise. And the Tigers sound pretty sure he will only be a SP this season. My opinion is he'll be up early in the season after starting in Toledo but if he pitches lights out in ST, he'll make the roster. As a SP.

I hope Lion fans send him 100's of snow shovels...🤣🤣

He's from Florida and played at Alabama. Snow? Hee-hee...

Who said that? Harris and Hinch said he will strictly be used as a SP. It even said that in today's article.

LMAO...welcome to Michigan;

This game is more important than many Lion fans realize. A Super Bowl contender opponent that is coming off a loss. Their defense looked horrible last week and I'm sure they will be foaming at the mouth to get back out there and prove themselves. Meanwhile, Detroit wants to prove they belong in a conversation as an elite team with Super Bowl hopes. A loss would bring up some negative talk from their "fans."

Yesterday's Free Press said Tork had to earn a spot during spring training. Today's said the same thing about Jobe. Has to earn it during ST. So, maybe spring stats DO matter?

Article in today's Free Press says Tork will have to earn a spot during spring training. I guess, now that the team is better, that spring stats really do matter. If he hits .150 with no power and a 30% strikeout rate, he'll be in Toledo.

I'm actually thinking the Rams are a scarier team than SF. SF has no running game, their top 3 backs are injured.

And every active NFL coach and every coach in the history of the NFL would have kicked the FG. 🤣🤣

Most watched streamed game....ever!!

It sure was. Live, I said, nice catch but out of bounds. The replay showed a totally incredible catch and great footwork. Put that guy on Dancing with the Stars...🤣🤣

As of today, that's what I see as our starting rotation. Jobe will probably start in Toledo, unless there are injuries. But he should be up here, in June at the latest. As for signing another SP? I would rather sign a closer who can miss some bats. Sign JV and make him our closer...😅😅

Skubal, Olson, Cobb, Maeta and Mize. The Tigers starting rotation.

Can you imagine if we had signed Flaherty for 2 years? He would have been even more valuable. And I really trust Harris now...we may contend this season.

While working on a changeup.

<cough>Maeda<cough>

I'm not sure how many at bats he's even gotten against LH arms. It's starting to look like Harris won't trade any productive and under team control players. Just the opposite, he has signed players just to trade them for more prospects. As long as Carpenter keeps producing, even only as a lefty, he'll have a roster spot on the Tigers. Until....he gets too expensive.

Lol...my favorite comment is "dumpster diving." Not that I agree, it's just funny.

A contract for life? What are you talking about? I just don't want to trade away one of our best power hitters. Ibanez has a nice warm seat on the bench for pinch hitting against LH pitchers.

I agree. The goal going into last season was to try to keep him healthy for the entire season. He mostly made it, I think he had one stint on the injury list?

Why not you ask?

What's the best record for an NFC team? I mean, 16-1 is a better winning % than 15-1. Just sayin'......

Trade Carpenter? No way, don't even consider it.

Buffalo/L.A. 1st team to 100 points wins. 🤣🤣
