  1. But the Tigers did try to move Tork to 3rd base.
  2. From what I've read, most teams don't take 1st basemen in the 1st round. That's why the Tigers tried to move Tork to 3rd base. Many 1st basemen are defensive liabilities at other positions
  3. The bottom line is what's important in sports. It's a monopoly, the only way you can follow professional baseball is MLB. Unless you want to follow minor league baseball from a distance.
  4. Well said. People who complain about Tork don't understand he was the choice for being a #1-1 pick by most publications. I always say it was bad luck for the Tigers to have the 1st pick when there wasn't a multi-talented player to draft. No Bobby Witt Jr for us! And he was taken 2nd?
  5. The Yankees are struggling and they desperately need starting pitching. Do they have a young SS or 3rd baseman blocked? I don't know their system at all.
  6. I like the quick games but I wonder about pitchers arms becoming fatigued during long at bats. I saw an 8 pitch at bat last week in the heat and it's like an intense workout for the pitcher.
  7. It's the Strategy Expert! 🤣🤣
  8. Yeah, it was a drama. The idea was good and the first couple of seasons were pretty good but it got kinda stale. At least, IMO.
  9. Any stats that opposing players get against the Tigers should have an *. For instance, Harper has 20* home runs. *= 1 against Detroit 😅😅
  10. From the show Suits. That commercial is the stupidest thing on TV. I keep my speaker remote handy to hit mute as fast as possible. The next worst is those singing Burger King commercials. Unwatchable.
  11. Perez should hit a home run.
  12. "But Skip, when I throw strikes they hit it 400 feet"
  13. A bullpen AAA pitching day against the Phillies. Our genius manager working hard. 🤪🤪
  14. Leadoff walk is the kiss of death.
  15. Winner, winner...chicken dinner!
  16. Time for a Foley meltdown?
  17. I know my opinion is very unpopular so I've kept it quiet. But I don't care for Benetti.
  18. My YouTube TV is usually 2 pitches behind the GameDay MLB app. Sometimes, during intense moments, I cheat...lol
  19. Take the 4 and smile...😁
  20. Skubal is a beast. Hinch shoulda let him have the 8th inning.
  21. Keith will be around as long as Harris is. GMs don't admit failure with players they sign longterm. If Skubal stays healthy, the Tigers won't sign him for the money/years he deserves. Greene may be a keeper, staying healthy and playing the entire season was his goal. I could see the Tigers signing him long term. Many fans wanted to give Harris a pass while he sees what he had to work within the organization. This off-season may tell us a lot. I'm still not convinced that Chris will spend the necessary money to field a competitive team. He may look at teams like Tampa Bay, KC and the Twins that seem to rebuild and win with young players. But we're really wasting some good pitching.
  22. His value right now is about as low as it's been. Like I said, he's still young. He may turn into a serviceable 1st baseman or DH. And he is better than a few players we have on the ML roster right now. But we may need more production out of our 1st baseman. Hopefully, he makes some adjustments in Toledo and comes back raking.
  23. Addition by subtraction...😆
  24. Yup...that was exciting. Congrats to Florida for not totally choking.
  25. I find myself rooting for Edmonton. Yuk..
