It's about time the Tigers started taking the NPB seriously.

It's a pre-season game, so I'm inclined to agree. I'd probably feel differently if it was regular season or playoffs.

I think it was the right call. He lost control of the ball just before kicking the pylon, and didn't have control when he kicked it, so it was a fumble forward into the end-zone.

He should be.

I disagree with point 2. They can lose so long as they're competitive to the end, but a blowout is unacceptable IMO.

A mere bag of shells.

Fulmer deserves this after that called 3rd on Parker.

10-7

LMFAO!

I prefer that Dirks be DD's permanent partner. They have great natural chemistry, and I think he'd be wasted on TV so long as Shep is there.

Lumberjack Night.

Like a lot of others here, I grew to really like Jim as the color guy, and I think removing the middle-3 PBP duties was instrumental in that. His strength was always playing off of the PBP announcer, and I think being limited to that role made him better at it. His greatest strength, though, was that he was genuine: what Price gave you during a broadcast felt like what you'd get if you were watching a game with him at the bar.

Nice snag by Jaymo there.

Sudfeld blows.

Comish having a nice game

Oh Jaymo...

LOL Sudfeld

Not how anybody sees it. Dude is getting destroyed in the replies, even by Giants fans.

I'd be more surprised if Julian made the team, honestly.

I seem to remember some discussion about whether the Tigers had cause to cancel E-Rod's contract at the time.

I'm not even sure how this incentivizes bringing up top prospects when they're ready when it clearly incentivizes holding high prospects back from being brought up mid-season.

I wouldn't offer E-Rod s**t.

Not if you meet or exceed those higher expectations.

Yeah, I'm not down with the "Harris had to get something for E-Rod" argument. Well, no, not if what's being offered is Dawal Lugo 2.0, and after E-Rod pulled his stunt other GMs would likely reassess his value to their team and adjust their offers accordingly. I didn't like that Avila gave good players away for garbage, and I'm not going to criticize Harris for not doing the same.
