Phil Nevin 2.0.

Can he play 1st base? It would be nice to get any production at all from a power position. Torkelson is a bust, not the 1st #1 pick to not produce.

0-2 pitch and he throws a cookie right down the middle. Pitch screaming..."hit me". And he crushed it. Baseball 101...don't give them anything to hit when you're ahead in the count.

This probably only became a bigger issue after free agency and huge contracts. More players moving around. I remember Sparky went in as a Red and some Detroit fans were upset. But hopefully, JV will some day come back to Detroit. How cool would it be if he got his 300th win as a Tiger?

I thought they stopped having players go in representing a team?

So JV will be 40 years old in February of 2023. He's at 235 career wins right now. Being conservative, give him 10 more wins this season. 245 career wins at 39 years old. And he's pitching at a Cy Young level. Can he make it to 300 career wins? 2 or 3 more seasons? 42/43 years old? I bet he does it, if he stays healthy.

Avila shoulda been fired when he extended Ausmus.

I don't agree. The Meadows-Paredes trade was almost 100% applauded. Everyone thought we ripped Tampa off. As it is, we may still eventually get something out of Meadows, we still have him for a few years. And there really was no room for Paredes here. I wish the guy luck. That said...Fire Al already.

I'm 62 and pulled a groin muscle slipping on the ice in Janurary...it still hurts. Getting old sucks.

Remember that time Tiger fans thought Al Avila made a great trade getting Meadows from Tampa? No speed, not an elite defender, but he has power. Or he did...for Tampa. For Detroit? Not so much. May as well release him now, he brings nothing to the table. Ryan Raburn, Dirks and Bosch all had better Tiger career numbers that Austin....we should have known we were getting ripped off. It was an Avila trade after all.

Maybe it's your VPN blocking it? I don't have a VPN router so my TVs aren't affected by it.

It's on Roku. I don't need it cause I have Xfinity but I loaded it just in case.

With tomorrow off, we can use the BP a bit more.

It would be. But it's hard when you only play once a week. Gotta give Burnhard his at bats with no power and his weak .220 batting average. But his defense.....

Are Tiger pitchers capable of throwing strikes? Jeez...

Meadows will prolly end up more like a Bosch or Dirks. Not much speed or defense.

And with 2 strikes on him. Many hitters, if not most, shorten up their swing to make contact with 2 strikes on them. Not Javy, he swings wildly.

I think I'll stay up until 1 or 2 AM to watch this last place team try to get a hit or two.

He sure did. Yeah, natural immunity... https://www.mlb.com/news/austin-meadows-tests-positive-for-coronavirus

People think it's over. And....it's not.

The dangers of position players pitching.

Skubal.

It was over in the 1st inning. A 3 run lead against this offense is insurmountable. (Thank you spell check)

I feel for Tork too. As for Greene, get him up here ASAP to gain the needed experience.

Clemens for the Cy Young...😅
