We got a win in St. Louis. It was all I was hoping for. Playing with house money tomorrow.

Me....very little faith. And I'm usually overly positive

Kahnle gives me a Shelby Miller 2024 vibe. And not the good Miller.

There ya go!

I don't see the Tigers investing that much money in one starting pitcher. Either trading him or letting him walk would be my guess. They may make it known if they offer him a big contract just to let people know they tried to keep him.

Neither will the Tigers.

St. Louis is pretty good. Really good defensively.

We may need Bert's 6 runs tonight.

A hit? Usually the 1st hit of a game has to be a clean hit. But Sweeney never got a glove on it. Weak sauce.

Get to an ace pitcher early? Yeah, I don't think so. 14 pitch 1st for Skubal.

A dry night for Skubal with the Tigers coming off of a loss? Bet the farm on the Tigers winning tonight. We need Tarik to give us 7 or 8 innings, a BP day tomorrow.

Well, I don't see Nido clearing waivers but you never know. Some team may need a backup catcher. As for trading either Jake or Dingler? I don't see that happening either. Just speculating. IMO, the Tigers biggest need is an experienced closer. One who misses bats.

I agree. Dingler should be our #1 catcher right now, IMO. Hopefully, Jake is only catching today for Skubal. But if the Tigers can get a shut down closer, it may take more than just a minor league prospect. I'm really not that impressed with our 2025 BP yet.

With all the prospects at catcher, deal Dingler for a shut down closer? Somebody who can miss bats?

Miggy was the biggest name, by far, that Dombrowski traded for. But getting Jonny Peralta for Giovanni Soto was a good trade. And getting Max Scherzer was huge. There were several trades that Dave used to help Detroit make the playoffs for several years. While most of us didn't like his methods, they did produce playoff teams. But I really like this current team and it's future much more than the teams with the huge bloated payrolls.

Hindsight is always 20-20. Trading Suarez for Alfredo Simon was a big mistake. It's one of the reasons I don't like trading young players, you just never know. It's the Doyle Alexander syndrome.

Cleveland-Twins suspended. 4th inning with Twins winning 2-1. They pick it up at that point?

The Tigers could score 9 runs in the 9th inning and Guenther would still get the loss. He gave up 1 run.

4 pitches...lmao

If the skies open and it's cancelled, wouldn't that wipe out the top of the 8th?

I guess it's time to binge some more Bosch.

A very rare Tiger game, non-competitive. It's great we're not used to this, the Tigers have a very good team.

Dombrowski also didn't have high draft picks to reload our farm system. And he knew Mr. I. would spend the money for any needed players. Yes, he traded away several good players and a couple of them didn't bring a great return. But prospects....you just never know. Look at the Miggy trade, Maybin had a decent career and Andrew Miller had a pretty good one. But, money aside, the Tigers won that trade. And yes, Al Avila was in way over his head...
