Playing 2nd base, with Short at 3rd base. I would rather have Schoop at 2nd over Maton. I mean, seriously? Did I ever think I would want Schoop in the lineup?
Tigers offense...wide awake, great approach. Clutch hitting.
Tigers outfield defense, gunning down runners. Tigers infield defense, turning incredible double plays.
Where has this team been?
When's the trade deadline? We may still have time to get Rodriguez healthy enough to move him. Prolly not for much but anything is better than what we would get when he opts out.
They just may need longer to develop. Age isn't as important when discussing a prospect. Remember, there was no minor league season at all in 2020. Or 2021, I don’t remember. So going by age isn't the best indicator, across all of the minor leagues. Older rookies coming to a town near you...lol
The age of some of these younger players is misleading. They lost a full year of development because of covid. Bringing them up before they're ready is like.....eating undercooked chicken. It may taste good at first but you soon regret it...lol
4 game series and 2 of the games are BP days? Where's our SP depth? Unbelievable, the most important series of the season up to this point. 10 straight division games? There's not a lot of room for error.
We get to enjoy a win for 1 1/2 days. I looked at our record and at the standing after last night's win and that was pretty hopeless. We need to sweep the Twins in our next series.
Seriously, a 1 page game thread. We used to have a one page GDT the day before a game. Yes, there's a new web site. Yes, there's other social media now. But if the Tigers were winning and in 1st place, we would have at least a dozen pages. At least!
In the past, with many franchises, a new GM comes in and isn't loyal to players he didn't draft. Tork has been given 1 1/2 years to show what he can do. Unless he gets hot for an extended period in the 2nd half, I could see Harris moving on from him. He didn't draft Tork...
