Not that we don't have PEDs around now but the gross abuses of this period in time were bizonkers and made games into basketball where you prayed you could somehow get that juiced up monster to pop up instead of hitting a walk off.

monkeytargets39 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Trading away Frank Catalonotto was far more upsetting to me. 1 Quote

I still maintain that the rapid expansion, which diluted pitching staffs, and the introduction of juiced balls to recover from the strike were just as responsible for the offensive anomalies of that period as PEDs.

I'll just call the rookie ..Kevin. or "The Kid." But not KMac....some people don't like that, either and can't hide their outrage...😅😅 Quote

oblong Posted March 30 Posted March 30 "Professional Hitter" You had to say that every time Jefferies name was mentioned. 1 Quote
tiger2022 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Jefferies had one of the greatest minor league seasons ever in 1987. He was 19 in AA and just destroyed the league. .367 avg, 1.021 OPS Quote
kdog Posted March 30 Posted March 30 (edited) Tigers traded Dylan Smith to the Giants for Cash Considerations. Edited March 30 by kdog Quote

Edman85 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 I figured cash considerations would be the move. Cash received in trade is deducted from your tax number, and a player who comes back would count against the Domestic Reserve list, which they are currently 10 over. 1 Quote

But even bad pitchers have occasional good outings. I hope the guy is consistent but his previous results aren't real encouraging. Quote

Tigermojo Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Might as well get Justin Verlander closer to 300 career wins. 1 Quote
IdahoBert Posted March 31 Posted March 31 I don’t understand the whole betting odds thing and don’t feel motivated to better understand it, but the betting odds are assuming that the Tigers are going to lose with Verlander pitching. I’ve seen various odds posted such as +100, +104, +120. Quote
