LongLiveMaroth Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Henning with some Garko praise this morning with some nice tidbits: Credit goes to Al Avila, the previous Tigers general manager, for recognizing the Tigers were a few eons behind too many other MLB teams when it came to grooming players. Avila knew science and technology, biomechanics, nutrition, strength and conditioning — even psychology — had become indispensable as baseball’s best clubs worked to gain an edge on the competition. Credit also Chris Ilitch for approving many millions of dollars in allowing Avila to take those first steps in bringing the Tigers into baseball’s 21st century. Avila hired Garko. Now, Garko is part of a new front-office group that finds in overall chief, Scott Harris, an even more advanced focus on development, with new staffers reinforcing creeds and incorporating baseball’s latest avant-garde thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each is pretty flawed, but I suppose if you’re desperate for Tigers info, they could suffice. I listen to Cody, but find myself fast forwarding the first 5 minutes or so and dropping with about 10 minutes left to avoid the personal banter.

theroundsquare Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I know a lot of people on here don't like Turning the Corner but I think it is the best of the bunch. There is some personal banter, but based on stuff I've listened to the personal stuff on TTC is much less than other podcasts. I've tried listening to podcasts from The Athletic, not Tigers-focused but just baseball podcasts, and there is much, much more personal banter and inside-joking on them than on TTC. For me, those are positively un-listen-able. TTC I can manage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 If you want to hear unvarnished commentary on a baseball podcast, the kind that does not fluff a particular team, Major League Baseball, or The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball, you can't do much better than Foul Territory. They can have as much annoying insidery banter as any other podcast, and they sometimes pull punches on player commentary because they are still part of the brethren. But when they get on a roll about the state of the game, it can be really exhilarating, because they are beholden to nobody on the inside. The stuff they've said, for example, about Anthony Rendon after his ill-advised comments, and about the Oakland Vegas A's situation in general—just 👩🏽🍳💋. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Matt Manning has been just so good this spring. I am really looking forward to seeing him pitch in April. He seems like a lock for the fourth spot and now it’s between Reese and Casey for the fifth spot. Looking ahead, he goes to arb for three years in 2025-27 and then he’s probably gone in 2028. His agent is Scott Boras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports_Freak Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 So Colt Keith has been named the Tigers 2024 starting 2nd baseman. Good luck, young man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger337 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I am glad Manning wants to be really good! He could be, but he still needs to strike guys out during the regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 He's probably always going to give up more than average numbers of HRs, but if can keep his K/BB ratio high that won't hurt him too much. We had another young guy like that once (high HR, high k/BB) and he ended up doing OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
