Tigeraholic1 Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 PNC Park - Pittsburgh, PA Games Time Forecast: Cloudy 68 Listen: 97.1 The Ticket Watch: Bally Sports Det Starters: RHP Casey Mize LHP Martin Perez Quote
1776 Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 I don’t think ‘must win’ is hyperbole at this point. This team is on its heels right now. We looked at this series as a possible road trip a while back. Concerns about the temperatures there in early April and such a short turnaround in travel persuaded us to skip this one. Barring a Casey Mize no-hitter today, no regrets. Quote
chasfh Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 It's been a Tale of Two Small Sample Sizes. Five-and-oh, then 1-4. Pretty much how .500 teams play. Quote
Shades of Deivi Cruz Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 The crew insisting on continuing to play "Pick The Stick" and showing constant updates of everyone with zero or negative points is just cruel. Quote

1776 Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 I expect this team to compete for the division title. Until proven otherwise, it’s the weakest division in baseball. If they’re not competitive this year there are problems higher up than the players on the field. The Spiders/Indians/Guardians just lost Bieber for this season. There isn’t any excuse to not be at or near the top of this division. 1 Quote

I think there are some folks that follow baseball too much like football, at least in terms of a game by game basis. Having said that, the Tigers won their first football game 6-4. Not sure if that's an apt comparison or not. Quote

roarintiger1 Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 Winning 6 out of 10 for the remaining games would be acceptable. Right? Quote

There isn’t any excuse to not be at or near the top of this division. Tigers managment did not expect that. They put out a development team with a few low risk vets. Low risk is the how they operate. If they contend, it's a bonus. They want to operate like Milwaukee, Cleveland, Tampa, etc. The young players have to perform....you aren't getting help elswhere. Edited April 9, 2024 by kdog 1 Quote

Motor City Sonics Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 What a beautiful ballpark. With a park like that, the fans deserve a better team year after year. I have got to see a game there. Quote
kdog Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 Can't replace every hitter in the lineup..but Rogers is a one outcome guy right now. Quote
