JackPine Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 That place was the worst but it was where I saw my first MLB game which was still really neat at the time despite the venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cowan Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Brandon Inge could hit a ball up to the highest point of that dome with a fungo bat. He could also dunk a basketball, bowl a 300 game, impregnate your sister, and unite all the Christian denominations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 They said Mize was first guy out of the dugout in the Chicago pushing match so hope he can bring that fire tonight. It would be nice to win a series against a crappy team instead of having to beat up on all the good teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great enthusiasm, but I'd rather some else like Holland or some other non ongoing entity would run interference to avoid another Rozema.

Rozema thought he was Bruce Lee and it didn't go so well for him. Hopefully Mize doesn't try his martial arts skills in a fight and just throws punches like a hockey player. Darren McCarty could give some pointers before the Chicago series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never tried to go pre-covid (2017-2019) because the team was so bad. Edited September 29, 2021 by Crazy Cat Gentleman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoBert Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 The Tigers are 28-43 against teams in their own division - with a losing record against all 4 teams - and 47-39 against everyone else in baseball. In that early bad streak they were 4-13 within the division. So even after that first 32 games and they began to hit their stride they were still only 24-30. You would think the Tigers would have some edge against other teams due to familiarity. But other teams in the division appear to know how to handle the Tigers better than they do them. It can’t be bad luck. AL Central teams must see weaknesses that other teams outside the division cannot exploit as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoBert Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 If the Tigers had played at the same clip against their own division as they have against the rest of baseball they would be 85-72. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) oh, hey, an out. I hope he steps up his outs rate here. 1 every 5 batters won't cut it. Edited September 30, 2021 by Crazy Cat Gentleman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 31-pitch 1st inning, just like Alexander yesterday. but Alexander didn't give up 3 runs in his 1st inning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoBert Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 The only rational explanation for all this is that everyone else in the division is using garbage can lids and we’re not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Fetter's magic wears off the more times an opponent gets a look at us. Of course that wouldn't explain us sucking against the division from the start but its the best explanation I can come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Sounds like Mize may get to pitch the 4th since he only got a fist bump and not a handshake from AJ. That would have him finish with an even 150 innings for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
