That took some digging to find and wasn't that long ago. Good find.

Liam had four hits yesterday!!

Did not happen to Vest, he was Rule 5 drafted by Mariners from Tigers and later returned to Tigers. No other team picked him up after the Mariners removed him from the 26 man roster and was returned to Detroit. Guys are traded a lot day of Rule 5 draft, I never said otherwise.

OK, I missed the part where other teams can claim him. I guess I glossed over that since it has never happened that I remember.

No other team can claim him unless the Tigers pass first and the Cubs release him, which I doubt they do. If the Tigers want him back, they pay the Cubs 1/2 the Rule 5 fee back. If the Tigers do not want him, the Cubs will assign him to one of their farm teams, probably AAA.

Gage Workman designated for assignment by Cubs. Should the Tigers bring him back or let the Cubs keep him? I think he would be a strong player to have at Toledo, preparing for another shot at the majors.

I watched spring training games almost everyday and noticed that the umpires were calling balls & strikes more efficiently than they are now in the regular season. The ball & strike calls have been horrible across the board so far since the regular season started. The ABS system seemed to challenge the umpires more in spring training, not wanting any of their calls reversed and the umpires were mostly correct when a batter, catcher or pitcher challenged. ABS needs to be implemented ASAP for the regular season.

My two take aways from todays game. 1 - Malloy needed to see a few more pitches before swinging at the second pitch he saw. Horrible AB. 2 - Keith does not need to be sent down but he needs to sit 2-3 games and get his head out of his butt. Still think he will have a good year but I hope not to see him playing 1B again this year.

This is a DOGE cut.

Maybe each team's home team and away team could play each other.

Skubal is at home (I know, he spent a lot of time in Arizona too), nice visit with his college coach and college teammates yesterday, get away day = large strike zone, Skubal wanting to erase memory of opening day loss. Tarik is going to put a beatdown on the Mariners and the Tiger bats will have a big day today!!

0-3 to first place!! Whoop, whoop!!

This

Torres to 3B, Keith back to 2B and keep Tork at 1B (as long as he produces). We should be catering to Keith since he is on a long contract with the team and play (one year contract) Torres where he is most needed to make this team it's best.

I think Colt Keith should be taking reps at 3B, 1B should be Tork's as long as he continues to produce.

Gage Workman makes the Cubs Opening Day roster (or five man travel squad) and is headed to Japan. Has had an impressive spring.

No to Bregman!

Barring a setback in spring training, Jobe is in the starting rotation to start the 2025 season.

All 30 First Place votes!! Well deserved.

Come on Tigers!! Third straight shutout tonight!

Sue!!! So good to see you!

Welcome back. I seldom post but still read MotownTigers every day. I can claim to be one of the original Morons. Even started the daily Game Threads for a few years.

Will Madden come in after Holton maybe?

Since we just celebrated the 1984 Tigers this weekend, what a perfect time to get a series win from the Padres, just like in 1984!!
