2026 DETROIT TIGERS REGULAR SEASON THREAD

[Shelton]

I also know that motor city bengals is one of the worst sites out there and would never visit or read. 
 

Byb is barely tolerable. 
 

Rogelio works hard and I appreciate the coverage but I don’t need their opinions. You guys here do a much better job.

yes, this site is the best place to get news, facts, opinions about the Tigers.  It's why I come here so frequently.

It sure is a tricky line to walk. There is a line between fact and authorship. There are many articles I see that are reporting a fact that I want to know about. Paywall hits and I resort to googling the fact. I’m good to go.
 

Someone doing some actual analysis and forming a theory/conclusion/opinion? Obviously that’s a work of authorship that has protection. 
 

but how do you define that acody compared the tigers to the orioles? Is it a fact that he did that? Or is it authorship that he came to that conclusion. 
 

Anyway, to answer your question. I know it when I see it. 

We are kind of at the late stage result of that, though. The aggregators, the yahoo/huffposts of the world, are poaching the ad revenue from clicks and forcing newspapers behind paywalls as a result. Those papers and outlets are being hollowed out and there is less true coverage now. 95% of the Tigers beat is just all the outlets regurgitating what the team gives them when they arrive at the park. It would have been nice if they had the ability to blow the lid off some of the frat boy activities at ISE sooner, for example.

There is still some value in news gathering and investigation. I try to subscribe to local papers both where I live and Detroit just to support them and ensure they can do their job. The cost isn't that much. Having said that, my Detroit News expires very soon... Just needed to cut some budget in the very short term (house/dog/car emergencies) and it was redundant with Freep. I went with Freep because Perzold gives some contract info I find useful that nobody else gives.

Freep and News are very negotiable. Just give them some version of, I can get the same information in a lot of other sources but I like you guys OK, so I can stay on board with you guys for $2 a month for the both of them together for the next year, will that work for you?
