With a robot ump, would players have to pose with their stance for measurements or will it be based on their reported height. You can't have an equal vertical strike zone for players who are 6'5" and 5'10". The plate width is not debatable.

77%..............WOW. Does he have to take a shit and can't wait and has to get the game over quickly?

I think about the time he tossed Ian Kinsler out for looking at him wrong.

I have a theory on why Angel Hernandez still even has a job. He sued because he wasn't getting postseason assignments (those typically go to the highest-rated umpires according to players, and Angel was usually the lowest or in the bottom 2 with C.B. Bucknor). He sued based on a claim that he wasn't getting the gigs because he's Cuban. You know, I know and even Angel knows that's ridiculous, but I think Angel may have felt he was about to be forced out and now he filed the lawsuit (even though it got thrown out) it would look like a punitive firing by MLB, therefore they keep him. I love how they finally gave him a postseason gig and in one game he was overturned on 3 out of 4 challenges. Why does it seem like umpires are like Supreme Court Justices and they are there for life? I love these stats on Umps now........does MLB measure stats - and if they do, can they FINALLY get rid of this bastard? He's not old enough to force into retirement yet, but something has to be done. This guy's a clown.

fuckin' cigarettes, man. glad I hated them so much as a kid that I never tried them as an adult. 70's not that old. Dude was such a legend.

That's who he reminds me of. Maybe not as good, but similar. Carlton gave up a lot of home runs too, he might be close to the Top 10 of All-Time

Today has a huge potential to get ugly in New York. So the announcement needs to be made and MLB needs to make sure the fans know that if one thing, just one thing, gets thrown on the field today, it's a forfeit.

It's rare, but there have been 7, 8 run comebacks..........sometimes even more. Remember Brian Dozier whining that an Oriole player bunted to get on base when the Twins were up 7-0? This was not a no-hitter, it was just a shutout. Hated him ever since that.

If Reyes hadn't gone to the injured list I think Baddoo would have gone to Toledo when Hill got activated.

tomorrow my lineup might look like.... Grossman, rf Torkelson, 1b Baez, ss Meadows, lf Schoop, 2b Haase, dh HCastro, 3b Barnhart, c Baddoo, cf Miggy finally gets a day off. Candy needs a day off. Torkelson deserves a key slot

The Austin Meadows trade is Avila's best............by far.

HERE COMES HITTIN' HAROLD !

Damn, only 150 feet short..........

Here comes his first home run as a Tiger.

it'll come.

Stay focus.........keep challenging.

A mature pitcher knows they'll get tagged sometimes...........just keep pitching, man.

3,002

I give AJ Hinch a lot of credit here. You know he'd like to rest Miggy in this 2nd game but since these were the Friday night tickets, he's giving them a chance to cheer him. As much as he's a baseball-first guy, I think he did this for the fans. Miggy gets the next 2 days off anyway.

27 titles..........and this is how they act after a WIN? Find the ones responsible (there are cameras everywhere) and ban them for life. Just awful.

Explain yourself.

The energy seems too forced.................I mean, I like C-Mo, I really do, but we go from Sleepy Jack, to Gibby (and it's obvious he does struggle) to forced C-Mo..........................Somewhere there is a happy middle (and his name is Rod Allen)

Wait, they called Daz back up? That is not a healthy-looking lineup. 1. Derek Hill (R) CF 2. Jonathan Schoop (R) 2B 3. Miguel Cabrera (R) DH 4. Jeimer Candelario (S) 3B 5. Eric Haase (R) LF 6. Spencer Torkelson (R) 1B 7. Willi Castro (S) SS 8. Dustin Garneau (R) C 9. Daz Cameron (R) RF

Okay, I am fine with the Tigers playing every April in Austin, Texas if it's really about having warm weather...........

It really IS the warm weather, isn't it?
