I dont care what he thinks about the Tigers Cody is who we want to hear from I wish Cody and Evan Petzold would dump their podcast mates and do one together. It’s been said before, but Tiger podcasts are the worst. Which is a big waste as I would love to get more Tiger content that way. I just took a job in Chicago and will be in the car going back and forth most week and there is only so much 70’s Soft Rock one can take.

Tenacious D Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Blake Snell, Matt Chapman and Cody Bellinger still unsigned. This is where I miss Mike Ilitch (though he’d give each a 7-year contract). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constant flubs—he reminds me of Chris Farley’s talk show host on SNL. It’s funny that all these shows have in common a weak link that is hard to get past.

If he would slow his cadence down a bit, I think he'd be a better listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtutiger Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) Within the context of what they are (ie. purely a fan based podcast, not backed by a larger publication), I don't mind Rog or Chris at all. They aren't always right and can mess up details (including Rog with names), but they also seem earnest in trying to learn and understand the sport. The fact that they have landed some larger interviews of late (including Garko) is a reflection of the work they have put in, even if the overall product is unpolished. That's a different situation from the TTC situation, which (I assume) is an Athletic backed podcast and where you would expect the quality to be much higher, especially considering that Stavenhagen is probably the best beat writer that follows this team. Losing the tangents into other subjects would help... as much as Gorosh can annoy everyone, his podcast with Petzold is structured much better and stays on topic for the most part.

casimir Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Soler off of the board to Giants. The Giants were supposedly considered a leading team for Chapman. Does this signing affect their interest in Chapman? Can the Tigers effectively persuade Chapman into a one year with a vesting option or two year with a player opt out? I know a lot of folks are interested in Jung being brought up at some point this season, but I'm not sure that is something to count on. Chapman at 3B is a defensive upgrade over the current situation. The offense is a question mark, but so is the current situation. I think at this point, salary wouldn't be too big of a deal for the Tigers. Its not like they would be bidding at $40M for this season or something ridiculous like that. But if its a short term deal, offer a way out for Chapman to potentially capitalize on a bounce back season.... why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to be "on". I've done a couple of videos in a studio at work that gets broadcast and hosted on a national site. Even with a script that I wrote for the teleprompter, an on a subject I know very well, once that light comes on it's weird. I mean.... the cost to listen is nothing. These aren't professionals. That guy Roger lives very close to me and we have some mutual real life friends. Small world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given they have a couple clear internal candidates, I believe the Tigers don’t want to block off third base. Some will disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1776 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I think Chapman will end up in SF for several reasons. Obviously Boras has these guys tied up in wait mode but I would imagine Chapman already has a good sense of where he’s going. I’d be very surprised if Chapman didn’t end up with the Giants.
