But on the bright side, we have a really small payroll. Making huge money will keep the team afloat for years to come. And with the fast games, it's less time having to suffer through each game. Kinda like a fast root canal. 😅😅

Who do you suggest the Tigers replace Javy with? Harris may have wanted to but wasn't given the money to get a better replacement? He should quit? The Tigers have more problems than just a light hitting shortstop.

This is good. Yes, we could easily get two games going of kids our age group. Many times, we would sit and watch the big kids before they finished and we got the good field. Even as 10 to 12 year olds, there was still groups of 16 to 18 year olds playing. And with their generations having less children, there just doesn't seem to be as many kids who play baseball. I mean, kids can't even ride a bike without a helmet and kneepads. You think mommy is gonna let little Timmy get beaned by a 40 MPH pitch? Yeah, I don't think so. I'm such a boomer...

Wow;

It's almost...funny? How can any pitcher have such bad luck? One run in 9 innings is all the kid needed. This can be a problem going forward. If he thinks he has to be perfect with every pitch, he could start struggling. Can the kid hit? He couldn't be much worse than some of these " professional" hitters. 😅😅

And Kreidler doesn't have much more offense. No, Harris was saddled with Javys contract when he got here. And we don't know the details of whether he wanted to cut him in the off-season. Maybe Chris didn't want to eat his contract. Maybe he just couldn't swing a deal for a replacement. We just...don't know.

That one run (so far) looks huge.

1 run. Just one 9th inning run. Just one.

His ERA is down to 2.09. I've never seen such bad luck.

I think it's more of a money grab. No time for dinner at home? Oh...we have ALL kinds of food here. Just bring your credit card.

I thought I never saw anyone swing as hard as Javy but then I saw Josh Bell last night. A LH Javy...only a much bigger guy.

With the pitch clock speeding up games, this 6:40 start time is way too early. These games being over by 9 PM suck. And a morning Sunday game? I hope the stadium is empty and nobody watches. It's just a huge money grab, just like those horrible uniforms.

The Tigers only other SS options are just as bad on offense. And much worse on defense. Is there any teams out there that has a ML ready SS in the minors who's blocked at the ML level that needs pitching? We'll give them a choice or Manning, Mize or Flaherty. Olson and Skubal (and Jobe) should all be untouchable.

Hopefully, he busts out of that slump and hits a dozen Tork Bombs in the next 10 games or so. He's pretty hot right now, a 7 game hit streak? If we could get Riley and Torkelson hot at the same time, we may start being more consistent in scoring runs.

Team or player option in that 4th year?

Hopefully, the Lions will be beating some teams so bad in the 4th quarter, we'll get to see Hooker.

When he hit that home run last night, you could see all the frustration coming out in the bat flip. I really don't remember him doing that before. It was the longest homer of his career.

I read that the full NFL schedule is being released Wednesday night. I thought it was Thursday. Let's Go!!

Exactly. Any time there's a group of Detroiters gathered, whether it's a baseball, hockey or basketball game, they chant his name. No way would the Lions not sign him. It was almost like the fans demanded it.

Don Wert....lmao

Meada isn't hurt, he's got that respiratory virus. He'll be back in 10 days or so. Lucky us...

It really wouldn't surprise me if Manning gets dealt soon. Several (more?) teams need pitching. I hope we can find a team with a ML ready shortstop being blocked. Trade Javy and pick up most of his contract, if they must?

Shelby Miller on the IL. Beau Brieske up to take his spot.

Good teams beat the teams they're supposed to. Even the Tigers, sometimes.

But we're still waiting on 2 or 3 more young guys. Another "evaluation" season in '25? Maybe in '26, too? How much longer will fans be patient? PS...don't ask Lions fans....lol
