2025 Detroit Tigers General Discussion Thread

[Tenacious D]

Keating and York were a bit bland.  But, like Mario, they didn’t cause any unnecessary distractions or make it about them.  Very straight forward.  I’ll reserve judgment until I see how they replace them.  

My dreamcast on TV is Dickerson/Dirks in the booth with Petry and York or Kane on the postgame.

Benneti has worn thin—kind of understand why the ChiSox ran him out.  He’d probably be much better on radio where he couldn’t call attention to distractions outside of the game play, which he likes to do on TV.

Remember this when McStinky ends up under 1.0 WAR for the season ... 😉

No more Mickey York...

That's a bummer... I figured with Keating retiring... 

I hope the "new direction" involves people who know what they are doing but we'll see.

Maybe the "different direction" will entail Fanduel gambling podcast hosts pulling double-duty by syndicating in-studio broadcasts during games for their RSN's nine teams from a centralized studio in New York. Or, "better" yet, from Vegas.

Ugh. I was merely thinking more the “influencer” route

Benetti and Dirks are peak TV broadcasting. 10/10, no notes.

Agree, it’s a bad look. Ed.  Did she turn down a date with you?

Actually it’s a bad look to assume a criticism of a female writer is based on something “romantic” rather than the work itself.  she’s not immune from criticism because of her gender. 
 

She’s redundant. “Win streak reached eight straight”.  Uses emojis and hashtags unnecessarily and often lifts other people’s work.
 

Nobody suggests a criticism of Mccosky is because he turned down a date.

Vierling tonight so far, 1-1 with a HR.

Pretty sure McCosky never got asked on a date.

The magnificent seven has done a great job on offense. Tork, McKinstry, Torres, Carpenter, Greene, Baez and Dingler.

7 deep.  And Sweeny might be expanding the list to eight.  Always seem to have had a hole somewhere in the top 4.  Tork last year, Baez until he got bumped down, Colt for awhile, Miggy for so many years.
