Luckily we didn't just give him away....

I think the Tigers should have been more aggressive with challenges. The early called 3rd strikes on McG and Tork were balls. Would have disconcerted and worked Vasquez a bit more. To what end? No one knows.

.....and hit the stick seems to have died a deserved death too.

The at bat...hmm...html didn't work.

Praying you survive.

I had forgotten to set up recording on FUBO. This reminded me to do so. We'll see how it works there.

RE: all the mentions of his tats and chains. I'm probably more old school than most but I like the kid. I've followed him on the tweetz for a couple years and he seems very grounded and certainly puts in the work to improve. I'm solidly rooting for him.

Freehan. Borderline HoF career. 15 years as a Tiger and only ever a Tiger. From baseball reference....... Hall of Fame Monitor Batting - 84 (246th), Likely HOFer ≈ 100 Hall of Fame Standards Batting - 28 (413th), Average HOFer ≈ 50 JAWS Catcher (16th): 44.7 career WAR | 33.7 7yr-peak WAR | 39.2 JAWS | 4.1 WAR/162 Average HOF C (out of 17): 53.7 career WAR | 34.9 7yr-peak WAR | 44.3 JAWS | 4.7 WAR/162

The only question left is if he goes in the HoF with a Tigers hat?

1976 draft. Tigers select Trammell in the 2nd round. Ozzie in the 7th round. Ozzie didn't sign but I've often wondered if we might have ended up with Tram at 3rd, Ozzie at SS, Lou at 2nd.......

But not perfect.

There goes 1984

Call me old school but I prefer Dan & Dan. Benetti and Dan is ok, but this is better.

The biggest shocker is that the Tigers might have a 3B.

No listening to Dirks yap.

1st ballot HoF

If the dedication to winning this year remains firm then I see Javy's runway being April/May. If he's once again a complete offensive liability then I think we'll see him cut for a better option. Meadows should be on the same arc.

Good article on coming negotiations https://www.theringer.com/2026/03/23/mlb/mlb-mlbpa-labor-battle-faq-lockout-work-stoppage-2027-season

Tigers come out of the gate like a house afire. 29-11 1st quarter.

I firmly believe that Green is going to be the centerpiece of a big deal somewhere down the road. We'll see.

The top150 or so are on strike, the rest go along. I still think one of these times the middle/lower class of MLB players are going to overrule the top. Many of those guys will lose critical earning years that they will never get back. Especially the fringe guys that may only hang around for 3-4 years.

So he adds excitement to games!!

I'm wondering of the Torres injury could open the door for him to stay. Once he does it's likely permanent unless he's overwhelmed.
