gehringer_2 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 There should be a new scoring rule, named in honor of the Tigers, that when a team gets shut out, no pitcher is assigned the loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Remember when Miguel coming to the plate as the tying run in the bottom of the 9th was something to look foward to? Good times..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermojo Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 That might be the embarrassment that it takes for him to call it quits. Can't do it anymore big guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermojo Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Miggy didn't/couldn't run to first, the shortstop booted the ball. Should have been runners at first and second but instead it's game over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell you what, I just got back from the beach, traveling via van, and I feel absolutely zen as hell. I’m stoked for tonight. I’m calling 8-2 victory tonight. Jump on the bandwagon early, seats are still available, but we set sail promptly at 7:10p. Only a couple of grand slams short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they put Cabrera on the IL, they could call up another Carpenter to strike out. Then we could both be happy. Hooray! 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutiger Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Miguel is 2 for his last 35 and can barely run. And he was thrown out on a play in the 9th that almost everyone else in the league would have at least had a chance to beat out. He's a legend obviously, but there's basically nothing exciting about his play right now. When you look at this team's body of work over the past 10 games, he's a feature of that that stretch, not an exception. Maybe Kerry Carpenter isn't ready for prime time and never will be. But at least trying different guys out when you are 28 games under .500 can engender at least a modicum of hope in the fanbase. And get used to it... I suspect the team will be doing more of it for evaluation purposes as well. I love Miguel, but there's no hope remaining there. It just is what it is.

Let him get his legs healthy, do whatever procedures need to be taken care of right now. Hopefully he can be a league average hitter with better mobility next season. Sending him out there every other game right now and shorting the bench a healthy body doesn't make sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the very few occasions where he could push off the back leg, he was still able to drive the ball and be productive but it only lasts a day or two. But apparently there is nothing that can be done for the knee. Well, losing 40 lbs would probably help it immeasurably, but the last time Miguel lost serious weight it didn't go well with the bat and he claimed he had lost his hitting leverage so I don't think he sees losing significant weight as an option - assuming he still even could. He needs to hang 'em up. Edited August 13, 2022 by gehringer_2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabretooth Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I dont care if every other guy on this team sucks worse than Miggy. It is a particular embarrassment to see him continue to play, given what he used to be. Please, please, please retire this guy. If he is on the team and is on track to have more than 100 PAs next year, I will not watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he's unhealthy and ineffective. The latter might improve based on getting the former resolved, but for some reason, the Tigers/Cabrera seem unmoved to the health issue. Put him on the IL, let him travel with the team, he can still be in the dugout throwing sunflower seeds at teammates or making balloon animals or whatever for the cameras. Its gotten to the point where he's getting to be a sideshow and well past the point of being an effective baseball player. Any incremental milestones he hit from here on out really don't do anything for his resume. He's a hall of famer. But he looks like AAAA material that can't actually move around on the field of play anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabretooth Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Hey I love old timers games as much as the next guy. Lets bring back Pudge, Polanco, Guillen, Inge, Grandy. C-Mo and Thames can suit up too. Nate can bring the Big League Chew, Kenny can bring whatever green stuff he needs for better grip. I actually would rather watch these guys play and old timers game than to see Miggy continue with the actual club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
