  1. I agree. I'd have him in the hall already
  2. Ouch, tough game to lose!
  3. It will never be ok with gambling on one's own game. Doesn't mean it won't happen. It's just pitiful that MLB promotes different gambling lines throughout every broadcast. The NFL throws out the obligatory "and as always, gamble responsibly. " Who stole my lunch?
  4. I dislike Altuve vs Detroit, even more than I dislike loud boat whistles
  5. Mike Piazza was drafted in the 62nd round. Skubal in the 9th. I've come to trust Harris.....and Holmes.....and Langdon. Good to be a Detroit fan
  6. Just think, last year to this date Tork still hadn't hit a home run
  7. As much as I like Clark, it would be great to have Langford in Detroit's line-up. I think he is going tobe a stud for a decade https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/langfwy01.shtml
  8. I have a lot of cobwebs.
  9. The hypocrisy is thick with MLB. Mays and Mantle were both suspended from MLB just because they did some work with casinos. Iirc Mantle was a spokesperson for the March of Dimes and worked with casinos to raise money. Fast forward a few decades and Fan Duel is now a major media platform for MLB. I fully agree, all about money
  10. I ended up watching the Pistons instead of the Tigers. Hoping for a win today. Hopefully Vierling and Meadows will be back at some point in May
  11. I have some 1960s post Tigers. They're actually rather inexpensive to collect
  12. I've been impressed with Jung's d at 3rd. Just has to hit now
  13. Yes. Fouled a ball squarely on his right knee. Shook it off. Then k'd
  14. It's like he is developing the yips. Several throws to tork lately, and now torres
  15. Iirc Charles O'Finley suggested similar in 1973
  16. So why even call it a 15-day IL? Do they have to keep extending it if he's not ready? https://www.mlb.com/news/tigers-injuries-and-roster-moves
  17. Wow, and AZ lost. He has 19 hits this season, and 10 are HR. Wonder what Alfredo Simon is up to these days? Not one of DD'S best trades
  18. Any news on Cobb? I believe he comes off the IL on 5/8. Wonder if he will be ready to start rehab by that time? If he ever does become ready, I think that will likely be the end for Maeda
  19. He's been Zobrist-esque so far this year.
  20. My Dodgers hate has surpassed the Yankees and BoSox.
  21. Aggressive baseball! It will bite them in the behind at times, but overall a huge plus. I think it fuels the culture, the grit.
  22. I was thinking the same thing. Their pitching top to bottom is elite, and their offense is decent, even without Meadows and Vierling. Their plate discipline and base running have improved significantly since Harris took over. They are a balanced team now
  23. Totally agree. Dan and Andy are the best combo imho
