Most of us thought we got Meadows cheap. Paredes did change his approach though, at least, according to Craig.

Canha is starting to win me over..😆 I really like him hitting 3rd much better though.

Same with Javy? That play he made yesterday, backing up and throwing off his back foot was very special. And heads up baserunning. Gotta admit, the guy hustles!

Gave them about 30 outs or so. But Greene and the Tigers comeback late again. This team can be fun.

From what I hear, the charges Trump is facing are what he's projecting...election interference. Trying to hide his Stormy sex story from reaching the voters. The ironic thing is....he probably would have won even if the story came out. His cult followers would probably still have supported him. I mean, after all;

I remember hearing Rod Allen talk about it, it was that long ago. Miggy will be remembered by many but I do agree he'll be less talked about in the future as more recent players set records. A first vote Hall of Famer though, I think most will agree to that.

Didn't Paul Coffey play defense?

This. It's hard to leave Thomas off of any best Piston list. He was the ultimate competitor.

Yeah, that last extension was crazy. It was almost like the Tigers were paying him as a reward for his glory years. He sure didn't estn that huge money. I still remember Tigers fans assuming we would spend that same money when his contract came off the books. They were/are disappointed.

And speaking of Cabrera, I think I read one time that he's the only player with 3000 hits, 500 homers and over a .300 BA? It may be wrong because I'm going from a very distant memory.

The casual baseball fan who has NO idea of advanced stats may not agree. Many of these casual fans only use the usual stats...batting average, home runs and RBI when looking at player results. And there are a lot of fans who will remember Miggy as a great RBI producer. The same way I remember Wade Boggs as one of the best 2 strike hitters I've ever seen. Can I prove that? No, I'm not that deeply into stats. Many people are and that's fine but I think your under-selling just how good Cabrera was. Using stats, you can probably make your point but I promise you that opposing pitchers didn't care a bit about stats when he came to the plate with runners on base. It was...gulp!! 😁

You're right, I mistyped. 500 home runs for Miggy. I was surprised to see he had a better WAR (baseball reference):for his career than Greenberg. Miggy is/was an all-time great player. I'm sure his Tiger career, the last few years, hurt his cause a bit but he was still a great player. BTW...BR has Ty Cobb's WAR at 151...lmao...how is that even possible?

Playing with house money now, we have at least a .500 road trip.

I have a Fitbit that I really like. I never ever wore a watch or jewelery until I received it.

Just going by stats, I would go with Kaline, Cobb and Greenberg. But opinions? I would have to squeak Cabrera in there somehow. The recent Triple Crown, multiple HR and RBI titles, 3000 hits and 600 home runs are very hard to ignore. Older player stats great but Miggy was just so recent. A generational talent

With the Bally app, the game is about 2 pitches behind the radio for me. So listening to Dan doesn't work, I'm stuck with Craig. He needs to be controlled, he wasn't bad at all in the games Dan was in the TV booth.

Hopefully, the Tigers won't have to worry about any of this. Maeda will get untracked and give us 6+ innings.

That's it? Wow. It was an incredible 3 years though. Electric..

No Billy Sims? He would be in my top 10.

Or treat him like Jordan Zimmermann and just keep sending him out there every 5th day, no matter the results. Those were some forgettable Tiger games...

We have Manning waiting in the wings. The big question is how long does Hinch and Harris give Maeda? He signed for 2 years? I think we'll see him for most of the summer, they're paying him and Hinch will be forced to use him. Even if he is ineffective.

Well, I'm not sure if Chris is strictly looking at a statistical top 3 or just people's opinions. Cabrera was by far the best Tiger hitter I saw in my lifetime. It's hard to judge players from a different era to today's game. Especially when we never saw some of them play. All we can go by is stats...

Are pitchers included?

I'm coming around to the idea of taking an OL at #29. I can practically guarantee Holmes won't though. He's going to surprise us all and he's not to be questioned. 🤣🤣

At least he didn't hit into multiple double plays...😅😅
