10/1/24 2:32PM Tigers @ Astros Wild Card Game 1

Foley is going to be so upset at himself. I'm not sure they can use him again. 😀 -
He sounds like someone we constantly talk abut in another forum.

There is little doubt that the casual attitude professional sports have towards gambling is going to contribute to more addictions. How the leagues respond to it I am not sure. Gambling addictions are not like opioid addictions which lead to deaths. Gambling addictions tend to lead to destruction of individuals and familes without usually having a countable death outcome.

I did not like the Fosse incident either. Rose was a villain to me rather than a hero, but he was one of the most memorable figures in baseball history.
-
They would have to make it worth his while though. He's not coming to Detroit just for a hitting coach title and salary.
-
I still think he should be banned, but I feel less strongly about it now given MLB's hypocrisy around gambling.
-
I don't know. He still came across as an asshole in the Leerhsen book, just not as bad as previous books. He pushed an old woman down some stairs and beat up a crippled person.
-
Tigers new hitting coach?
-
I grew to dislike him too, but as a kid in the 70s, I though he was entertaining. He was mean, but I also think his hustle was very real if misguided.
-
I understand the sentiment, but he was a big part of my baseball memories growing up. He turned out to be an awful person, but I still remember Charlie Hustle.
-
I think they wanted to win, but didn't want to disrupt their playoff plans. I would guess Hinch is not happy that they gave up 9 runs to the White Sox.
-
Crap, I am teaching Wednesday afternoon.

Their emotional finish reminds me a little of 1987. Hopefully, their post-season is better this year. The difference though is that 1987 was the end of an era making it a bitter defeat. This year should be the beginning of an extended era of good baseball, so if they do bad in the playoffs it won't sting so much.
-
Maeda won't be on the roster. Hinch practically said as much earlier. If they go with 11 pitchers, they'll probably have to keep one of Madden/Mize/Montero.
-
It's OK. He'll get another shot next year.
-
Did you offer her pizza?
-
In my observation, that is how most sports fans act. It's why I hang out at obscure social media sites talking to more serious fans.
-
I'd rather watch Jobe. The playoffs are going to feature some strong line-ups. I don't know how ready Jobe is for this,but he's got a better chance to succeed than Madden.
-
There is a difference between being a memorable old poster and just being old. 😃
-
Yes, most great comebacks involve one team surging and another one failing. It doesn't take anything away from what they did.
-
Run differential is mostly useful looking forward. Once the season is over, it's about wins and losses.
-
I agree there have been very real improvements with position players. The crazy part is the pitching. Hinch/Fetter have gotten an incredible amunt out of what they had available the last couple of months.
-
There is nothing wrong with Sizemore using Crochett versus the Tigers. The Tigers job is to win regardless of who the pitcher is, so it doesn't matter. He'll only go 4 innings though, so who cares?
-
You'll have to explain to them how the Tigers pitching staff works with openers and bulk relievers.
-
Harris with a very slight edge is a consistent theme. The gamblers give her a similar edge. It's basically a toss up right now.
