  1. Baez should play in 130 to 145 games per season.
  2. Yes, Pineda could give us a lot of innings. My concern is if they call up more young pitchers, we'll need to limit their innings like we did for the youngsters last season. And God forbid any more SP injuries....it's only April. Like I heard Sparky say one time, you can't win a division but you can lose it.
  3. Agreed. Especially as much as they've been used. Bullpens decide many of the games.
  4. So, Mize, Manning, Chafin, Funkhouser, Cisnero, Turnbull and Boyd all hurt in the last year. Am I missing any? Tigers pitchers are snakebit. That's almost a whole ML pitching staff.
  5. I remember Kaline's 3000th hit in Baltimore. All Detroit hits. Yeah, always Mr. Tiger.
  6. Thank You for this. Such a classic sound.
  7. My favorite part was when he said no interviews before the game because today he went 0-3. Superstitious...lol
  8. I was thinking if he gets a hit later in the game, Hinch would lift him for a PR. Let the fans give him major extra love.
  9. Miggy's getting a scheduled day off tomorrow? He's not a young pup.
  10. I would walk Cabrera in that situation every single time. 1st base open, a lefty on the mound and a slumping LH on deck? No-brainer.
  11. And then they signed for big bucks, long term...lol
  12. I agree. Having a trainer 100 to 150 lbs overweight? Not sure I would hire him.
  13. Illitch standing up hoping Miggy doesn't get a hit. Ticket sales and National media attention...priceless.
  14. I don't understand. The Tigers have a catcher who loves fastballs sitting on the bench?
  15. Yeah, I guess I'm not blaming Hinch or the Tiger organization. Just bad luck? Those 4 pitchers make up an entire pitching staff. If Mize and Manning need TJ surgery (I'm NOT saying they will) they'll be out until 2024. Just a horrible possibility.
  16. Turnbull, Boyd, Mize and Manning. I'm starting to see a trend. Go ahead, call up some more young starting pitchers, I double dare you.
  17. Got a stack of line-ups already filled out...lol
  18. Maybe the Tigers can get a deal on TJ surgery for Manning and Mize. 2 for 1. 😁
  19. I mostly agree but are all the injuries to pitchers caused by limiting them early in their careers? The Tigers were careful with Mize and Manning last season and they're still injured. How did that work out for them? Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
  20. They weren't a good defensive team last year.
  21. Those conditions were brutal. Final score 4-2? It looked like it was going to be a 9-7 game, more. Personally, I'm not making any judgements on any players under those conditions. The home plate umpire? That's a different story. Anything that didn't bounce to the plate was a strike for any Yankee pitcher. Tiger pitchers? If the Yankess didn't swing, it was a ball. And yes, I exaggerate.
  22. Bases are stolen off the pitcher, many times.
  23. Hopefully, neither are hurt. It just seems like everytime a pitcher comes our of a game with a bad arm, it leads TJ surgery. The worst part is when teams wait 2 or 3 months. I would think Manning will be OK, but we'll see.
