  1. Hate to say it, but this is further evidence that it makes little sense to give an 8+ year offer to Skubal. It's far more common for huge deals to pitchers to fail than to succeed. Not ruminating on it, going to enjoy his time with Detroit. But I realize odds are he doesn't stay beyond 2026
  2. I sent this thread to Jones. Lawsuit forthcoming
  3. I didn't realize how much young talent the Cubs have. They are a well rounded team, much like the Tigers, only perhaps the Cubs have a bit more talent.
  4. Per Cheech and Chong, Jones belongs in basketball
  5. Lol, I had Kubek baseball cards but I'm too young to have seen him play. He was a national announcer for decades, along with Joe Garagiola and others during my youth
  6. Gen X all the way! Born in '66
  7. Interesting that Sweeney sat vs a righty. Also, Dingler may very well be an all-star this year.
  8. One of those announcers sounded a bit like Tony Kubek to me.
  9. Incredible game. Still can't believe Carp caught that fly ball
  10. Took the apple tv free trial. Want to watch this one
  11. So it's not on mlb.tv? Bloody 'ell
  12. With AZ fall and 2025 WM, Briceno has 23 home runs in his last 231 at-bats https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=bricen003jos
  13. Take a gander at McGonigle's stat line at WM this year. The Tigers seem to have as many foundational pieces coming up to rival what happened in Motown in the late 70s and early 80s https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=mcgoni000kev
  14. He is an excellent defensive catcher and he'll have his spot. But I also think he can expect to step aside for a pinch hitter later in games due to his offense.
  15. Yuck. Easily could have lost 3 of 4
  16. AZ was down 10-4 to the Braves, then scored 7 in the 9th and won
  17. Rogers is hitting .118. He needs that message
  18. Kahnle was an incredible signing by Harris
  19. Thanks for sharing. You should consider writing a memoir. Your posts are often Paul Harvey-esque.
  20. McGonigle is locked in! It's been said many times, but dang, the Tigers farm system is loaded!
  21. If Toronto has a poor June and July, I can see them taking prospects. If they are in the wild card race, I believe they'll keep Bichette.
  22. Was an ugly game. Glad that Perez got safely into 2nd, and that Keith's bloop double fell perfectly. Luck matters in games like these
  23. My job is a county contract and it's part of huge budget cuts that can be traced to DOGE. Have to get my clients connected to other services by the end of June
  24. I'm smoking a victory stogie right now. Tigers win 8-5
