  1. Bobby Witt Jr. looks like a player who is going to beat us up for 15 years of more.
  2. Huge crowd Saturday for the Leyland # retirement ceremony. Watch half the stadium leave...lol. Or...is Sunday the ceremony day?
  3. Especially taking a marijuana vape pen there. Unless it was planted?
  4. I'll tune in the last couple of innings to see the no-hitter. Will there be an *?
  5. Down 3 runs in the 1st inning and our offense struggles? Evaluate away Scotty...maybe stop charging for tickets? Your product stinks
  6. Who's the color guy with Jason?
  7. Watch out for the WSox. They may catch us.
  8. Trump negotiated directly with the taliban and ignored the Afghan government. He ended up releasing 5000 taliban fighters from prison who turned around and attacked American troops as they were withdrawing from Afghanistan, killing 13 of them. MAGA turned around and blamed Joe Biden and still do, to their ignorant base, to this day.
  9. Trump presses for details on prisoner swap with Russia https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4806074-donald-trump-joe-biden-evan-gershkovich-paul-whelan-prisoner-swap/ Joe Biden gets prisoners held in Russia released. Donald Trump would release insurrection prisoners. Vote Blue!!
  10. Wow. That's like...really hard to do. It's almost impossible. Just one pitcher needs a good outing...just incredible.
  11. Bullpen day...Skubal...bullpen day...bullpen day...Montero. what's the problem? 🤣🤣
  12. I wonder if Bally has to pay Xfinity to carry their product? 😆
  13. I remember a few years ago, the Tigers front office went on camera and said the rebuild was over and it was time to win. So don't tell me about players deep in our system that will soon make the difference. Sorry...let's see if they even make it.
  14. Zimmermann? I think it was dad who signed him?
  15. That's the problem with GMs who force their players on a manager. It's very common...
  16. There were a lot of fans cheering on Flaherty and Canha this season. They played for about 4 months in Detroit.
  17. Whatever it takes. I'm sure there's more than one way to build a winner. Drafting and developing homegrown talent is probably the long way to go about it. Rebuilding a team that had bare cupboards isn't very easy, making just a few mistakes could set them back several years. Look at the White Sox...
  18. True. Money wasn't the objective for Mr. I. He was willing to spend crazy money in hopes of bringing a championship to Detroit. Those were some great years, a championship caliber baseball team...
  19. I saw it. That was early in the game, too. I'm surprised they allowed him to stay in with all that blood and problems with concussions in sports.
  20. I never heard or saw this. Pretty cool;
  21. Harris has said that the Tigers will spend when they're close to winning. To me it sounds like they'll sign 2 or 3 players to get them over the top. But I think most of us agree that we're not close to that yet? Another year or 2 of evaluating what we have and what we may need. Another off-season of 1 year Canhas and Urshelas.
  22. A successful Detroit baseball GM is all I have to go on. DD made many successful moves, trades and free agent signings, that made us a contender year after year. Hopefully Harris does the same. I will say DD had a lot of money to work with, but he was pretty good at evaluating talent and getting it here. Emptying the farm system for expensive proven players actually worked. But like we all know, the Tigers had one of the highest payroll at that time. That success is fleeting...
  23. Yeah, it's the lower draft picks that come out of nowhere that proves a good draft. Skubal and Collins were very good late picks.
  24. I think the rules say you can only lose 1 rule 5 player?
  25. No, a successful GM makes a boatload of money for a billionaire owner. And keeps the fans hopes alive for producing a winner....in the future...always 2 or 3 years away.
