  1. have Hill and Englert punched their tickets yet? Del Pozo next?
  2. Greene scalded another one but didn't get it off the gound.
  3. Dan said Jones held him up, changed his mind again after the ball was dropped but by then Javy had stopped.
  4. Hmmm. I wonder if you only get one dip? I watched on for free last season but I can't watch this one without signing up. Could still cancel but that's more work than one Tiger game is worth. Is it the Bally broadcast crew or a different team?
  5. so I guess I'm a bit slow. I now see the Tigers' games are no longer blacked out on the WXYT live stream. So why did I buy gameday audio this year?
  6. So Vierling didn't make a throw to 2nd that he could/should have? Doesn't matter - they only give Yaz one. Then he gets to 2nd anyway.....
  7. Oddly enough, I think he was looking for Javy to make a mistake to make an example of him rather than one of the new/younger guys - on the theory that it would be overall more instructive to all and less pressure on a player less able to deal with that than Javy.
  8. This game was an interesting example of how bad umpiring can be without causing much ruckus. The strike calling at the plate was atrocious but he was favoring each side about equally. If you got screwed on a call you could wait for the make-up -- which wouldn't take long.....
  9. The statement was contingent - I'm not saying Maton doesn't justify the trade, only that he needs to. I think he's looked pretty decent so far. I'm less impressed with Vierling in the field, but if he hits well that is going to be forgiven to some degree.
  10. tonight is why he didn't use Lange for two last night. Does it really matter which game you win? Hinch would say doing it his way he had a chance to win both. If the pen would stop imploding they will justify his strategy. We'll see.
  11. Why are these umps in the tank for the Blue Jays? Hate the Yankees maybe?
  12. Maybin has a great background for doing color because he was a very skilled player who could do everything on the field - he just basically could never stay healthy enough to have more than a journeyman's career - so he has that perspective too. Good blend.
  13. maybe he thought there were 2 outs rather than he didn't see the ball, but who knows?
  14. And he is the 1st to admit it. On the plus side, he could flat out run a lot of fly balls - but he couldn't go back to save his life. Used to play almost at the fence when he wasn't in center.
  15. have to go to 2nd on that don't you? If you are going to miss the DP miss it at 1st.
  16. the are also excellent mimics. We had a family in the yard last summer and the male would land near the feeder and make red-tail hawk sounds and all the other birds would scatter.
  17. If Maton is not a building block then Harris didn't make a very good trade. You have to get back Major leaguers - or at least eventual major leaguers, when you give up major leaguers.
  18. can you hide the purchase price for real property in FLA? Doesn't it have to be disclosed for tax purposes if nothing else?
  19. this is where I would be too. Again - all of Hinch's match-up/mix-up/optimize the lineup stuff is misplaced on this team. Play the guys that are the future every damn day. If you are going to lose at least lose giving your young guys most experience possible.
