Grrr… You're supposed to take a nap during the game and then wake up to a Tigers rally as you did about a week ago. 1 Quote

I took my nap early today, way too early. In fact I was just now thinking of drinking a coffee, but I will abstain because I’m a team player. Quote

In fairness, he pitched 39 innings for Texas's AAA team, which is in the very offensive-friendly PCL. 3.34 ERA with 12.1 k/9. Once a highly thought of prospect who has battled injury the last three years. But has pretty good stuff, including +95 fastball. I like his chances better than Jackson. Quote

Perfect example of prospects not making it with their original team. The Tigers brought in several players that were rejected by their previous team. Hopefully, they catch lightning in a bottle. But why is a first place team acquiring so many rejects from other teams? I would have preferred moving some of our secondary prospects for some established relief pitchers. Harris pulled a Stevie Yzerman...lol Quote

Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted Friday at 10:48 PM Posted Friday at 10:48 PM why does FanDuel give the desk people handheld mics instead of clip-ons? seems needlessly clunky. Quote
GalagaGuy Posted Friday at 11:03 PM Posted Friday at 11:03 PM Calling it now, if the Tigers lose tonight, they lose the division. Quote
Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted Friday at 11:15 PM Posted Friday at 11:15 PM hopefully Skoob didn't get tossed on his way back to the dugout. 1 Quote
IdahoBert Posted Friday at 11:15 PM Posted Friday at 11:15 PM What a terrible ump good God just short of down the middle of the plate and it’s a ball. Quote
Sports_Freak Posted Friday at 11:16 PM Posted Friday at 11:16 PM Doesn't take long to find out the home plate umpire is inept. Quote

IdahoBert Posted Friday at 11:17 PM Posted Friday at 11:17 PM Are these umpires ever really held accountable for being awful? Quote
Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted Friday at 11:18 PM Posted Friday at 11:18 PM Just now, IdahoBert said: Are these umpires ever really held accountable for being awful? they get performance reviews, but I don't think the disincentives to suck are all that strong. Quote
IdahoBert Posted Friday at 11:18 PM Posted Friday at 11:18 PM I wonder how much the ump had riding on that Trout AB? Quote

Adullin Posted Friday at 11:21 PM Posted Friday at 11:21 PM what the hell kind of first strike was that? Quote
monkeytargets39 Posted Friday at 11:23 PM Posted Friday at 11:23 PM So down the middle is a ball, but 4 inches off the plate is a strike. Got it. The one instance where I support AI “taking they’re jawbs” 1 Quote
GalagaGuy Posted Friday at 11:31 PM Posted Friday at 11:31 PM I don't get why MLB doesn't have someone come out with a tablet between innings to show the ump any problematic calls. Seems like it would help the umps and they would probably even appreciate the input. 1 Quote
GalagaGuy Posted Friday at 11:33 PM Posted Friday at 11:33 PM Leyland has looked the same for the last 40 years. Quote
