Motor City Sonics Posted June 6 Posted June 6 (edited) Wow, are people really upset over this week? They GAINED a game this week in the division. The White Sox have once decent thing and that's some decent pitching. I think maybe the team lost a little intensity this week in Chicago and that's just fine. Gotta do that actually over 162. Still went 4-3 on a road trip. Give me that for EVERY road trip and I'm happy. Everything's fine. I'm a little worried about starting pitcher depth, after the main 5 and Montero there seems to be a steep drop off and I can't really count on Gipson-Long yet and I don't know what's going on with the Cobbler. They need another arm. I think Jobe's headed where we all fear he'll be headed. What the hell happened to Manning? He was at least a 4 or 5 there in 2023 - Dude has a great Spring in 2024 and loses a spot to Olson and it just seems like the life left his body. He's gotta be fixable. If he could be what he was in 2022 and 2023 then there's some depth to get ya through for a bit. Edited June 6 by Motor City Sonics Quote
Sports_Freak Posted June 6 Posted June 6 I'm not into fashion, I really could care less what uniforms they wear. I see people complaining about the Lions uniforms or helmets too. Once a game starts, I don't even notice the uniforms. I remember seeing San Diego playing and I really thought it was a minor league game, at first. Their uniforms were very...colorful. Quote
lordstanley Posted June 6 Posted June 6 Don’t care at all the uniforms at all when listening on the radio 🙂. Don’t mind much on tv either, no moreso than seeing them wearing road jerseys on the road. But I’d be a bit bummed if I only attended one home game all year and got them. However, doesn’t seem to be a surprise now as fixed onto Fridays. Quote
Shinzaki Posted June 6 Posted June 6 Ibanez has been sent to Toledo..Jahmai Jones has been called up 1 Quote
RandyMarsh Posted June 6 Posted June 6 Makes sense, Ibanez one real asset was hitting lefties and he hasn't been doing that most of the year. Quote

And Hinch said Colt can fill in at 3rd base, if needed. The Tigers really do use all of their roster and many at multiple positions. Jones will be OF depth and a much needed RH bat. Quote
chasfh Posted June 6 Posted June 6 FWIW, in the interviews I have heard, the players really liked the Connects, but then again, none of them grew up in Michigan or were Tiger fans, except possibly McStinky. Plus, most of them are Gen Zs, if that makes any difference. Quote

He's had some good and bad outings but with the added velo he has brought to working short, he has another chance. Hope for him as a starter has gone pretty much to zero. Quote

I thought this was possible earlier but when it didn't happen I assumed he was safe for the long run. But it's always also about the alternatives, Jones has been hot recently Edited June 6 by gehringer_2 Quote

I reserve my irritation for more important things like constant gambling promotion and extra inning base runners. There are City Connects I actually like, just not ours. The Brewers and Royals are two that come to mind I like. Neither of those teams in my mind have classic MLB unis either for their regular attire. It is what it is. Quote
kdog Posted June 6 Posted June 6 40 man move...Akil Baddoo DFA to open up a spot for Jahmai Jones. Quote

They look like the classic Montreal Royals kits. Quote

Motor City Sonics Posted June 6 Posted June 6 How the hell does Kreidler keep surviving? If we had an INF go down, I'd want to see Lee way before Kreidler. Quote

lordstanley Posted June 6 Posted June 6 This is such a big game I’ve decided to wear my silk pyjamas while watching it on Apple TV. 1 Quote
IdahoBert Posted June 6 Posted June 6 My son pays for Apple TV, so I don’t care how much it costs. I’m fine with an occasional Tigers game on Apple. About the only thing I’ve watched on Apple TV is the first two seasons of the Asimov Foundation series - the third season starts in July - some nature programs and a Godzilla series that was pretty decent. I’ve been advised repeatedly that Slow Horses is fantastic. It probably is I just don’t know how much of my life I want commit to it. Same thing about Severance. It’s not like I have to be cured of a naïve and slavish love affair with corporate America. Quote

IdahoBert Posted June 6 Posted June 6 So Apple TV gets to cancel City Connects? Now that’s power. Quote
IdahoBert Posted June 6 Posted June 6 Too bad Apple TV isn’t making them wear the home uniforms with the old D Quote
