But many teams have a much shorter timeline in their rebuilds. We have Riley Greene right now, we can't take so long that we waste his career. And I really hate to hear we're waiting on some Toledo players, that means at least 2 more years of evaluating. And if they don't make an impact at the ML level, the Tigers will either need to spend or try rebuilding thru the draft. And that would be another 5 years or so.

But we got to see Cowens attack that pitcher who broke his face with a HBP. I think it was the elder Farmer? Highly entertaining...😆😆

I read he had 20 of his 31 home runs after the All Star break last year? So if he gets to 10 or so by mid-July, he may match last years production. Being streaky is one thing, ice cold is quite another.

Prudent? Didn't Chris OK the Javy signing? Huge mistake. I think our payroll is under $100 million. One of the first decisions Harris had to make was Candelario. We got Nick Maton instead. Saved some money but made us a worse team. Luckily, Avila left Harris some good pitching.

I just liked to hear George Kell say JAYson Thompson.

I don't even care if our rebuild is for a World Championship. If we consider the only successful rebuild is to win it all, it's been 40 years. I just want to see a team with a deep playoff run and to be competitive for several years. If Chris isn't willing to spend, I won't ever blame Harris. But how long should it realistically take? 5 years? 7?

Runs scored is all that matters. There's only 4 AL teams that have scored less. And one (Seattle) is in first place. Time to shake things up, send Meadows and Tork down and call up whoever and whoever.

Oakland is at .500.

It's almost like they have to make some off-season trades. Who would have ever guessed that? The leash for Harris is getting shorter and shorter.

Another "evaluation" season in 2025? This is getting old...

I didn't even wait that long. 1 1/2 Craig slurps and click...

We need a 3rd baseman, a shortstop, a 2nd baseman, a 1st baseman and a power hitting outfielder. There's not enough available players to get all of them. Scott Harris hasn't been very impressive. We want Al Avila back!! 😅😅

Get swept in Cleveland and season over. Time for a tear down and rebuild. These kids can't play.

Remember that time a Tiger pitcher was so scared he puked on the mound? Good times....😁

I think so but others know the rules better than I do

Walking a leadoff hitter is the kiss of death against normal hitting teams.

Who do you want in the BP instead?

Yeah, it WAS him. Good memory. A hitter has to be a good 2 strike hitter to always take that first pitch.

If they call the game right now, the Tigers lose 2-0.

There used to be a hitter (Edgar Martinez??) who was famous for never, ever, swinging at the first pitch.

Working the count is obviously not working.

Get the full inning in and Skubal would be off the hook.

Time for a Tork bomb. Pretty please?

I need some blue skies and sunshine...🎶🎶
