  1. I've been impressed with Jung's d at 3rd. Just has to hit now
  2. Yes. Fouled a ball squarely on his right knee. Shook it off. Then k'd
  3. It's like he is developing the yips. Several throws to tork lately, and now torres
  4. Iirc Charles O'Finley suggested similar in 1973
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. He's been Zobrist-esque so far this year.
  9. My Dodgers hate has surpassed the Yankees and BoSox.
  10. Aggressive baseball! It will bite them in the behind at times, but overall a huge plus. I think it fuels the culture, the grit.
  11. 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
  12. Totally agree. Dan and Andy are the best combo imho
  13. True, I remember going to both games of a dbl header back to back in the '70s. Better than Christmas, even when I sat by a guy who puked from too much beer
  14. So is tomorrow the Ernie Banks twin bill?
  15. AJ is the best I have seen at cultivating a culture, connecting with the players individually and collectively, and having a balance of x&o and analytics. Harris, etc al gave him what he needs to execute all of this. Sparky was also great at those aspects with the exception of having little analytics in his time. I do enjoy this team as much as I have any Tigers teams back to the '84 team. Now excuse me, I have to go take a dump.
  16. I usually judge by shoe size
  17. I can see a team like Chicago WS or Colorado claiming him.
  18. Yeah, can see that Rogers will still be getting plenty of time, but Dingler is fast becoming #1
  19. Wow, I just saw the box score. Too busy today to even follow it online. Can't wait to watch it this eve
  20. Norris' stiff leg landing looked unorthodox and stressful. Morris commented on it often. And Fulmer's delivery looked like it was straining. I recall his rookie year Rosenthal commented that he is an injury waiting to happen. I said "eff you" out loud to the TV, but he was correct. Boyd has had the best career of the pitchers Detroit brought in
  21. With Skubal I'd see it more like 11/400, starting a year before he hits FA. Takes him to age 39. Huge risk. Don't see Harris going there.
  22. Chase Lee called up to the big show https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/04/tigers-promote-chase-lee-for-mlb-debut.html
  23. That's Cleveland. They've been doing what Harris has built in Detroit for many years. Their development just keeps coming
