It would be nice if held it through the end of the season.

He doesn't have a closer's mentality. 🙃

I read that one of the reasons they might not make the change to robot umps is that people in the game want to keep framing part of the game. The human element!

Rick James "17"

Those are my two favorites as well.

There are thousands of older men married to underaged girls which is disturbing, but legal. It's legal in 41 states.

The case I remember the most was Luis Polonia in 1989. He had sex with a 15 year old girl. It turned out that the girl's mother had her made up to like an older women so that she could trap professional players. He was able to continue with his career. That kind of behavior was not quite as taboo in the 1970s or even 80s as it is today. It was always wrong and generally frowned upon, but you can see movie references of men with underaged girls which was supposed to be funny back then, but is unacceptable today.

Is he going to wear his ostrich socks?

He don't need no rest. He's 18 years old.

This story seems suspicious to me. I hope it's untrue. We'll see.

It could be another Luis Polonia situation.

Did you tell them that the constitution specifically says that arms are to be well regulated?

Lower is probably better. It means most people didn't think of the same players you selected. It also means that you're old.

Tremendous blast...What's with the shirts though?

Must understand that baseball is not the top priority.

Chapman would be great. He gets on base, hits for power and is a strong defender. The only concern is he may cost too many years for a team in the Tigers position. You'd probably be getting a couple of bad years at the end of his contract which is a risk a team can take for winning now. In the Tigers case, those two years might be when they are most likely to be winning.

Price mostly followed Dickerson's lead which was a good thing. They worked well together.

I agree with pretty much all of this. The only thing is I'd be a little wary of is JD Martinez. He is one of my favorite hitters and I would probably be excited if they signed him, but he is going to be 36 and has had back and hamstring problems this year. I could see him starting to get very injury prone. I would like to see them get a proven slugger at some position though.

He's got this star aura about him. He's either going to be a superstar or a bust. There is no in between. 😀

I mostly brought it up because everyone was saying they Tigers turned the corner after a bad April in 2021. As it turned out, they were really were capable of being that bad again - like all of 2022! As for this year, Lorenzen's injury was a problem, but expecting this staff to remain healthy all year is pretty optimistic. It was also probably a subtle shot at Hinch. 😁 I don't have a problem with him, but he does get deified by some.

I agree they need to add both hitters and pitchers. It will be easier to get pitchers in the free agent market this off-season. They may need to get more creative pursuing batters. I do think they can contend next season and that should be their goal. They can always sell at the deadline if things don't work out.

I can do it too, but it often has glitches. Sometimes, I have to try it a couple of times before it works.

The Tigers have started out slow three years in a row. I don't know if that's enough to be a significant trend, but I also don't know if we can say that they are different team now than the one that started 2-9. Is there some reason for their slow starts or is it a fluke?

Rogers strikes out too much, but is pretty good otherwise. He is not especially young at 28, but should be fine as a starting catcher for the next couple of years. I am curious about what they would have gotten for him if he was traded because he has quite a bit of value.
