Actually have they ever had a guy with elite speed, good OF defense, and a good bat? Tony Phillips was the first to come to my mind. I realize he played all over but that only added to his value. In his 5 seasons in Detroit he averaged 5+ WAR Quote

lordstanley Posted August 9 Posted August 9 McKinstry with a chance to keep the streak alive. 2 on, up 8-0. Quote
papalawrence Posted August 9 Posted August 9 Might this be the 4th straight series where the Tigers have a double-digit shutout victory? Quote

papalawrence Posted August 9 Posted August 9 Potentially the Tigers recent farm could rival the mid 70s farm. Morris, Tram, Lou, Lance, Gibby, Petry. Just prior Fidrych, Kemp, LeFlore, Thompson.....vs....Dingler, Melton, Jobe, McGonigle, Clark. Maybe Lee, Keith....? And just prior Skubal, Greene, Mize. Good times Quote

lordstanley Posted August 9 Posted August 9 Now tied with Boston for best run differential in American League at +85. The Yankees are +83. Quote

Tiger337 Posted August 9 Posted August 9 I don't really know whether I want the Guadians or White Sox to win. The White Sox are in first, but I think the Guardians are better. Quote
4hzglory Posted August 9 Posted August 9 With Cleveland’s loss, we’ve gained at least 3 games in the last 10 on every team ahead of and 1 game behind us in contention for the 3rd Wild Card. We gained 4 on Cleveland. 1 Quote
holygoat Posted August 9 Posted August 9 I didn't realize this was an early-ish game, and I missed it. Based on the highlights, Jobe looked quite good in his return. Quote

Jobe didn't throw enough strikes, lots of full counts, but the fast ball had tons of life. He'd come up and in on RH hitters and completely tie them up 1 Quote
