  1. I've been on an island being gnawed at by reptiles
  2. I don't spend too much time dissecting profiles. I used to spend hours doing that. I remember the weeks leading up to the 2019 draft. I was really hoping Vaughn or Bleday would fall to Detroit. I liked Greene too, but not as much. If you re-draft that year today, you can argue it would go 1-Whitt, 2-Greene, 3-Caroll.
  3. I agree. Having the intra-division games now down to 13 is what I prefer as a fan
  4. As a kid, all of the sports all-star games were more important than Christmas, and baseball was at the top. The first one I watched was the best ever - 1971. I was enamored with Reggie Jackson after that game
  5. Espn announced the Tigers-Rangers game on 7/20 has been moved into the Sunday night game of the week slot. At this point Skubal lines up as the starter again
  6. Unfortunately, so does Malik Beasley
  7. Thayron has been heating up. Had a very slow start
  8. I told a childhood buddy (I grew up in Kentwood) just this week that I cherish 1976 just as much as I do 1984. Both were magical summers. Christmas all year long
  9. Kahnle does tire. He usually fades towards the end of the season. Probably just a bad game and move on. But no doubt Detroit needs to seize the opportunity this year and add a couple bullpen arms. And perhaps a monte python killer rabbit mascot to rumble with paws
  10. Rangers optioned Josh Jung to aaa. Didn't see that coming
  11. Those blue jay teams were loaded. I always thought Steib had better stuff than Morris
  12. Skubal's whip is down to 0.83, era 2.15, fip even lower
  13. Jeimer cleared waivers and has been released by the Reds. Tampa will bring him in and he'll produce again Reds Release Jeimer Candelario - MLB Trade Rumors https://share.google/sIB0BxXhypNod6FNn
  14. Haven't read anything yet, but I won't be surprised if he is shelved until after the break.
  15. The past 11 months have been outstanding
  16. National audience got to see the Tigers, who had every look of a world series contender this eve.
  17. They unloaded talent last off season. Imho they are a .500 team, if not lower. That's the thing about 162, the law of averages tends to play out over the whole season
  18. I was quite confident the 84 team would win another WS or 2
  19. I ordered sling tv orange for espn. Cost me $23 for a month. They got me. Want to see the game
  20. Bummer for Sweeney, but necessary at this point. Have a hunch when he is back in the bigs it might not be with Det
  21. Saturday win streak activated......
  22. Turnbull released. I know there was bad blood with his departure. Maybe Harris will let Fetter take a shot Blue Jays Release Spencer Turnbull - MLB Trade Rumors https://share.google/BoDRssfSqoQdexY9z
  23. Ah....I'm usually a year-plus behind the times. I'm showing improvement!
  24. Turns out Gio Urshela played a significant role with getting Gleyber to Detroit. Nice to see Detroit is becoming a preferred destination Gleyber Torres breaks silence on Tigers decision | Sporting News https://share.google/XYFoES3KTkZtAwed4
