I found Petry was a bit like that with Benetti at first. Just piggy-backed and went along. This year he seems to be interjecting more of his own thoughts and ideas.

Is there an update on Cobb?

Nice article on Finnegan. I was not aware that he was born near Detroit, and his father was a pitcher who had a brief stint in Detroit's system Kyle Finnegan resumes Tigers career his dad almost started https://share.google/jn9B3etoWiJCB7xXa

It's a risk for him to wait. There is still 1.25 seasons to go. He may start to show some drop-off next season. And there is the potential cba work stoppage. Kyle Tucker chose a similar path. And this year his stats are down. Reportedly he is playing hurt. But a low .800 ops and 139 ops+ isn't getting him 500 million, and that's what media was saying earlier this season. I'm not even confident he gets 400 million. He's had injuries, and his speed will be slowing.

Without knowing the metrics, and just by the eye test, I think Carp has made positive strides in the OF and is approaching average OF on D. I'm glad Det has team control for 3+ years. I'm much less confident on Meadows' longer-term.

And the Tigers are now 4 back of Milwaukee

Morton in his post game interview - he might be the most chill guy to don a Tigers uniform. Very grounded person. Glad Harris grabbed him in the final minutes of the deadline

Tigers win and Petry sings!

Good point

Gibson would have entered his dreams a la Freddie Krueger and tormented his soul

He is only 28. I doubt it happens either, but I would love for Harris to sign him to something like 3/54.

Or potential trade bait should Harris sign Torres again.

Just when I start thinking Javy's magic run is ending, he produces.

Dingler with a dbl and triple and a chance at a cycle

The last time that happened in a Tigers game was in the 1940s. 0-0 game that ended with a bases loaded walk

Fun game to watch!

Carp has definitely improved his OF play.

To me this is a great game. Obviously frustrating, but Hunter is also a stud.

Cool table..........but what is this retirement thing, of which you write?

I lived in Seattle from 1991-2000, and have been in Minneapolis the past 25 years. So my home stadiums were the Kingdome and then the Metrodome/Glad-bag-dome for many years, until Target Field was built. Horrible venues to watch a game (Target Field is excellent)! I'd never want that for Detroit either, but perhaps a retractable roof would have been useful for poor weather

Detroit back on top in AL and second best in MLB. Very nice turnaround

Houston with back to back double digit shutout losses. The horror........the horror.....

That Melton slider is gonna be on pitching ninja
