  1. I looked it up; It says McGonigle 37th player player taken in the 1st round in the 2023 draft. 37th? Max Clark 3rd overall pick in 2023. Rainer 11th overall pick in 2024.
  2. Lazy question....were Rainer, Clark and McGonigle high draft picks because of all of the Tigers losing seasons? Harris and his team seemed to have found some good, very good, prospects.
  3. I guess every player is different when it comes to having their weaknesses exposed. Teams get the "book" out on how to pitch to hitters once they find their weakness. McGonigle has such good hand eye coordination and is capable of making adjustments during an at bat (!!!) that any book on him may never be known. The kid has a very bright future. It will be very interesting to see how he handles a slump, keeping one short is key. Pretty soon, we may be talking about him as an All Star??
  4. Playoff, World Series and clinching games all should fill in any top 10 list but other dramatic games should get an honorable mention. Two of my favorite wins are more recent because they're easier to remember. One is the JD Martinez pinch hit HR off of Chris Sale when JD returned from injury. It helped the Tigers with a late victory. The other recent memory was the walk off grand slam by Rajai Davis against the A's. Doolittle was the pitcher and he Didlittle. 🤣🤣
  5. Feel kinda bad for the guy. He never got to play on a contending team.
  6. Kinda OT but a Blake Snell story...kinda funny;
  7. Its impossible to predict what Brad will do. It wouldn't surprise me if he finds a way to move up into a top 10 pick. And it won't surprise me if he trades down.
  8. Remember the "Going to Work" starting 5? I remember they started an incredible number of games in a row together. We'll never see that again...
  9. I'm more worried about Atlanta. And Boston. We don't seem to match up too well against Atlanta. Defending the outside shot is our weakness.
  10. A politican is involved in a sex scandal and it ends his career. Huh...he should change parties, Republicans are fine with this type of scandal.
  11. Agreed. Last night, Blaha said, in his opinion, last year was more impressive going from 14 to 44 wins. While I think 60 wins in crazy impressive, I'll defer to George's opinion. 50 years doing games give him a lot of credibility. I remember listening to him on the radio when I was a teenager...and I'm 66 now. Lol
  12. A 1971 commercial that fits in 2026;
  13. Trump getting into a flame war with the pope is SO TrumpLike. You really can't make up the stupid shi* this moron does.
  14. I didn't see a 60 win season coming. Even with all the injuries, we just kept winning. The worse loss all season, IMO, was the loss to the Nets when they came back in the last few minutes. That stunk. But so many close game wins this season made it a very special year. 60 wins...
  15. Atlanta will beat Cleveland. I don't want any part of the Hawks.
  16. I was just wondering how much they moved up in a weekend. Small sample sizes change very quickly. Their pitching was only 20th best? An early season good weekend prolly makes them better. Did Perez even get a hit? 😆😆
  17. Is the Tiger pitching moving up in their rankings now after only giving up 3 runs this weekend? I still say Detroit has a top 5 pitching staff (potential).
  18. I guess a fan would have to prove that was the actual ball. Keeping it? Good luck with that, prove that's the HR ball...😅😅
  19. He may struggle at times this season, most hitters have cold stretches. Especially young players who aren't used to playing such a long season. Many times, they wear down. Keeping slumps as short as possible is key, don't be like Riley.
  20. Orban conceded. That should eliminate any possibility of violence. Maybe, at least
  21. A good pitching duel on Sunday? Half right. 😁
  22. Not if it isnt authenticated. And if the fan doesn't give it up? Well, they just may not authenticate it.
