  1. The next 13 games will tell us a lot. Texas and Pittsburgh have very good home records, and then we play red hot Toronto in a 4 game series in Detroit. Then on to Philly to face a NL powerhouse. If we can go 7-6, I'll take it. But our BP is going to need to step up.
  2. Correction;
  3. The only way they can have home wild card games is if they either win the East as the 3rd best division winner or be the #1 wildcard team? I think...
  4. Texas and Pittsburgh are both well over .500 at home. And we play a hot Toronto team in a 4 game series. And then 3 in Philly. Gulp...our bullpen better shape up.
  5. Tigers on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball; July 20th at Texas and August 3rd at Philadelphia.
  6. At the end of 9 innings of a tie game, fans need to walk out. That would send a message. It wouldn't matter but...whatever.
  7. The solution to the extra innings issue at an All Star game is really simple. Both teams get a 2 pitcher taxi squad named to the team after teams are selected. Only emergency extra inning pitchers. Not allowed to pitch in the 1st 9 innings. If, after 11 inning and the game still tied, each league gets to name 3 players for a home run swing off. Any players are eligible, even if they've been removed from the game. This is the reason we didn't get to see Judge or Cal Raleigh, among others.
  8. The start of gaslighting the public. "You know you just love the swing off, 100% of the millions of fans surveyed say they ALL love it. Just trust us on this one, you want it and every single person in the world wants it. So MLB will reluctantly give it to you all. It wasn't OUR idea, the fans ALL wanted it."
  9. Oh no, they don't start back up tonight. The ASB is way too long...
  10. I don't understand why teams who are having a down year would wanna trade quality players. They'll need those players to compete next season. Unless they'll be free agents anyway, may as well get something better than a comp draft choice.
  11. I don't really know most of those players or how highly touted the Tiger prospects are. Jung I know, not greatly impressed. Maybe he'll get better.
  12. So....is Carpenter back?
  13. I saw an article that said the Tigers should acquire Bednar. It showed his good secondary stats that say hes a good pitcher who just had a couple of bad outings.
  14. Weren't the Tigers below .500 at last year's trade deadline? Our schedule coming out of the All Star break looks...alarming?
  15. Sun God on a cereal box. I think maybe they're not allowed to show an actual NFL jersey?
  16. I think they should try thumb wrestling. Or maybe Rock-Papers-Scissors? Get outta here with the gimmicks, forget the fake ghost runner. Go back to playing real baseball. That's what fans really want, the tradition of having the contest decided by an entire team.
  17. I came here to post an actual quote that was in the paper this morning. People say a swing off is fine for an exhibition game? My response was to be careful for what you accept, pretty soon you will be told that "everyone" loves it and "everyone" wants it. Pure, 100% gaslighting; “It'll be interesting to see where that goes,” AL manager Aaron Boone said after Tuesday's game. “There's probably a world where you could see that in the future, where maybe it's in some regular season mix. I wouldn't be surprised if people start talking about it like that.”
  18. It was gross even reading it.
  19. 95 games left. What if the bubble has burst and the Tigers pull a 2024 Twins? I admit, kinda worried...
  20. They want to talk it up because they plan to keep using it. Next, they'll say everyone loves it. Pure gaslighting. Repeat a lie long and loud enough and it becomes a truth.
  21. Reading Tweets, many fans really don't know much about baseball. Tigers draft a pitcher? Call him up. Just...no clue. It's not a video game...🤣🤣
  22. If Harris were serious about winning, he would go ahead and trade for Juan Soto, Ohtani and Skenes. /s
  23. The Cubs got Crow-Armstrong from the Mets when they traded them....Javy.
  24. This is ridiculous. They need to allow a taxi squad of 2 pitchers for each league in case of a tie. Sorry, but this is pretty stupid
