And one of the better managers. I'm staying all in. I don't know if they'll contend all season (they might) but they finally have a team headed in the right direction. They've got interesting players at almost every position. This is a team I want to watch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 When Greene or Hill are back maybe Grossman should be the first guy out. He's not been too impressive today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like a bright guy who really understands the modern game though. I don't think he is the miracle worker some fans say he is, but I'm happy to have him managing the team. It will all come down to player performance as it always does. I'd like to see what Brad Ausmus could do with this team. <ducks> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team could def use a real #1 hitter at the top...watching Anderson, then Grossman, makes my hair hurt, and I dont have any. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports_Freak Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 The Tigers just looked flat today, no energy. I don't know why. But no fight in them at all. Surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Just now, mtutiger said: Tork needs a day off Exactly. He’s out of sorts. He let a first pitch fast ball he should have deposited into the left field stands go right by him. His swinging strike two was at his eyes. He took strike three when he should have been protecting. Pat him on the back and give him tomorrow off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtutiger Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Not that it matters because of how lackluster everyone not named Victor Reyes has looked offensively, but trying to get an additional inning out of Elvin was a mistake by AJ imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports_Freak Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 It looked like Chicago's game plan was to make Tiger SP work hard and get them out of the game. Our SP will be fine, we have depth and not too much should be taken from the first time or two thru the rotation. But our hitters? 2 hits? Chicago pitching isn't that good.

I miss the days where managers would get ejected by arguing bad calls. Is it too early to call for Hinch's head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1776 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Things can change in a hurry but early on I am wondering if the expectations were a little too optimistic about the offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious D Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Feels like a lot of overreaction to the first series of the season. We went 1-2 against probably the best team in the league. This team is likely .500 or slightly above, so best to manage expectations. Success will be the development of our young, core players. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently listening to the Brewers game... who are trying to avoid being swept by the Cubs. Braves are looking likely to drop 2/3 against the fire sale Reds. Today's game was bad, the offense in particular concerns me, but gotta keep perspective for sure Edited April 10, 2022 by mtutiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
