Brieske's era is up to 6.55. Might be time for him to reset in Toledo

Ah, very low class

What was the tweet about?

Thanks - it happens. Minnesota state DHS got cut 300 million. Many programs will be getting cut. It does suck. Bit I have been in my field 36 years. Already have 2 potential options.

My family visited the Toledo zoo in 1971. Didn't see Klinger. I remember weird stuff like that. And that Al Kaline never hit 30 dingers. And Carew hit .388 in '77. Same year Foster hit .320 with 52 and 149.

Wonder if any pitcher with a 3000 spin rate has avoided TJ for an entire career?

Fugly game today. Updated my resume during the last 2 innings. My job is getting doge'd. That was more pleasant than the last 2 innings

Yep, those days of getting excited to see a .650 ops Gibby wouldn't go along. I remember Shep hyping Castro up, and Gibby intervening and saying an everyday player should have a .750+ ops. Popped Shep's bubble

Lol I've watched that a thousand times over the years. Gotta love Weaver

Not to worry, Meadows is hitting 2 dingers todag

Meadows hits his first dinger today

I hate the Dodgers

Somewhere (maybe Tigers podcast foul territory) mentioned Detroit's team ops is about .650 - 21st in mlb - over that span.

Baltimore, Tampa and even Pitt are all hot right now. 10-8 is probably close

Saw that. Might be the best catch I've ever seen. He might have caught Big Papi's slam in 2013

Had a thought today- the current CBA ends after the 2026 season. Perhaps Skubal will instruct Boras to try and work out a deal with Detroit before FA, for fear of a work stoppage in 2027. That's a bad time to enter FA

That's exactly what I'm thinking - you gave a better analysis. I'm beginning to hope he gets extended

Mr Kaline would have been proud of Carp's footwork and throw. He is improving

Torres seems very relaxed here. His D has been fine. And his patient at-bats are important. If he stays on this course another 60 games, do you start to open extension discussions? I know Detroit has a glut of middle IFs coming up. But with Gleyber you know what he brings, and iirc he is still only 27. Would you go 2/40? 3/54? He might even get 4 yr offers, which I don't see Harris doing. I like him on this team

That's been the Pistons mantra for decades - Detroit vs everyone. However I do think this series win will win over more national media members. I think the other mlb teams know Detroit is for real

Incredible win! Was free game of day on mlb TV, so more folks could see the Tigers are for real. And while he remains below average in the field, Carpenter has made some good strides in right field.

I don't expect Harris to leave any time soon, but what if a major market team throws 15 million per at him - will Illitch match or top? Boston won't be content losing much longer. I could see Illitch matching any offer. Harris has done a very good job. And Harris gets to see what happens in Detroit when its teams are producing. And he has AJ. A lot of reasons to stick around.

His swing is so long - reminds me of Cody Bellinger. Might be prone to prolonged streaks

Al Hrabosky 2.0 Maybe Detroit needs to look at him come draft day

Toronto beat Minn again. Twins have lost 3 in a row. Kody Clemens did hit another HR
