Don’t do it, C-Mo! Don’t do it!

You knew he was gonna.

Faedo blows the lead and gets the win.

Tork is SO clutch!! 🤣🤣

This season is the four corners offense...waiting out young players, waiting out bad contracts...just waiting for something to happen.

Bad contracts don't mean much if the money won't be spent when they come off the books. For several years people were speculating who the Tigers would sign when Miggys contract came off the books. They must have lowered ticket prices, right?

So predictable...

Yeah, C-Mo (for example) is knocking Benetti down a notch when paired with him. C-Mo’s excited, cheese grater growl voice strikes C-Mo (and in turn, us) too early and far too often in broadcasts. It’s all I can do to hang in there with it some games (especially if we’re down several runs late in a game — I’ll frequently throw Dan Dickerson on then). Anymore, I occasionally will find myself growling at the tv set every few minutes — it’s my way of coping, I suppose. 
 

The endless mispronunciations, the heavy inhalations directly into the mic, the annoying “Bye-eee”s, “Mile Powers”, “You hang it, we bang it”s — these all just add to the chaos.
 

On a positive (?) note, at least C-Mo isn’t growling Shep’s, “Wears a crown” line this season — that appears to have died with Shep. 

What bothers me the most is the giggling while talking about something stupid while the game is going on. Totally ignoring the action. Sometimes the camera goes to the booth and Jason has his back to the action, not even paying attention to the game. That may have been OK in Chicago but in Detroit, we pay attention the the game. It's why we watch.

Tie game and the Tiger BP coming in.....anything good on TV?

Why are the Tigers playing the infield shift tonight? The shift cost the tigers at least two runs against Miami tonight.

Playing the odds. Modern day baseball predicts where a player "usually" hits it. Sometimes a team gets burned.

I like Benetti OK, I guess. But they have to team him with professional announcers and get these ex-jock bozos outta the booth.

You know what that's going to cost.   No more free NFL game on TV - in the near future.     It's coming. 

Christmas Day...2 NFL games, streaming on Netflix. Thursday Night games, on Amazon Prime. Those no "more free games" are already here.

Build a big enough lead to prevent the BP from blowing another game

This game sucked. It was like being spanked by the ugly babysitter and your mom thinks you’re lying. 

Uhhhh...how ugly? 😁

It’s been a while since Carp went deep. Now would be a really good time!

Maybe Tork can hit one too. It sure is his type of game.

Who’s still complaining about Mark Canha!

He ruined a good rally. Clearing the bases!! I 🤣🤣

And Dan called it a "Grand Slam Home Run"

Tigers showcasing Manning to trade him for a light hitting utility guy who can play 7 positions? 🤣🤣

Just now, kdog said:

Looking forward to Hinch talking about how the mistakes are unacceptable. This roster is just so limited...they have no levers to pull.

Why didn't he leave the RH pitcher in to face the leadoff RH hitter in the 8th? Or aren't we allowed to question the strategy of a genius?

They are 11th in bullpen K rate. Maybe this is some BABIP correction. 

And they are playing utility guys out of position because they dont' have a real infield. 

Throw enough stats up against the wall and maybe something will stick. Bottom line is wins and losses. And this team will struggle to get to .500.

Click...so, when does the Lions training camp start?

Do they need to muzzle the orange idiot for Michael Cohen's testimony? It's going to be delicious. 

2 pitch inning for Mize?  🤣🤣

I never knew MTS fans were fashion experts. 🤣🤣🤣

Uniforms look much better when the Tigers are scoring runs.

I don't know that anyone here has called for Harris's head. Saying he should be on the hot seat, yes, but that he needs to go now, no. For me, if the hitting continues to suck like this through June and Harris doesn't make any moves, I'll be pissed. If he doesn't make any major off-season moves and the offense continues to suck into next season, then I'll probably consider him ripe for the chopping block.

I was underwhelmed with his last off-season moves. But I most definitely do not want him to trade any of our young prospects. Especially for a player who may just leave in a year or two anyway. This Tiger team is in need of more than just a player or two. We have to have patience and let the chips fall where they may.

I think this sounds reasonable.

But besides the shorter term merits of the major league team, Harris also needs to get the minor leagues in order.  It sounds like that is being done.  Now, perhaps the earliest fruit from those improvements can be a part of next season’s MLB team, but that might be pushing it.

I would say Jung, Jobe and Clark are the future. Jobe is probably the closest but the amount of pitchers getting hurt is concerning. But again, they may struggle at the ML level so we will need to...evaluate once they get here.

Not to be ignored is that they guaranteed the UDFA WR from Illinois Isaiah Williams $100k. They clearly see something in him and he'll have a chance at the roster.
