Was Flaherty better? JV? Mize looks like the Tigers #3 starter, if you want to compare last year's stats. I dont think Hinch trusts him too much either, quickly pulling him during a playoff start.

It would be the perfect time for Mize to have an outstanding season. He could possibly make several extra millions of dollars, going into his FA year. Of course, if there's a work stoppage....

So...are you saying JV is an early season favorite to win the Cy Young Award? 🤣🤣🤣

#35....Justin Verlander.

To be fair, many fans (and media) are dreaming about vintage JV coming back. Unrealistic expectations.

Yeah, that makes sense. Maybe not to start the season but first chance he gets to reset the rotation. Except, I think it may be Mize in-between the lefties.

He definitely is going to be a huge fan favorite. Sellout crowds in early season starts. If he has some success, it may continue into the summer. But what can we expect? 5 to 7 innings per start of a 4 ERA? A 125 to 150 inning season? I hope nobody expects vintage JV, they will be disappointed. But, we may see flashes of his old self. Limited flashes...

Olson is out for the year with shoulder surgery. Wow, he was hurt last season and tried to rehab it without surgery. Didn't work...

Last season was his first season back after fullly recovering from surgery. He was an All Star pitcher. That's his track record. Flaherty is way too inconsistent. He just seems to be going along and has an inning where he imploded. And JV has had a hall of fame career but is in his twilight. Mize is going to have a monster season. Book it...

Doing the math for MAGA supporters;

The main difference i see between Rogers and JV is Rogers helped influence a very young pitching staff. With the exception of Melton, who is the young guys JV can help? Do Not give advice to Takik Skubal, he's a finished product.

The corruption never ends;

No he isn't. He's our #3 starter. Behind Skubal and Valdez. Ahead of Flaherty and JV.

He's said he wants to pitch until he's 45 years old. Getting him to 300 wins will be a challenge. But he can throw strikes and usually veterans get all the calls. It will be pretty sad if the Tigers have to DFA him.

Enjoy the D League, Tolu Smith.

Paul Reed the Scoring Machine!!

Wrong thread

I dont think midget is politically correct. Go with the Rod Allen description of Jose Altuve...."Itty Bitty Fella"

I hope Paul Reed can stay out of foul problems.

He may help out some of the younger Tiger pitchers. Even if there's only a couple?

Especially if he could possibly get 34 more wins.

He needs to be blocked...

No. Just no. Bad Bunny, apparently, has appeal to a younger generation. Me? I have never heard his music. And I don't care, one way or the other, if they had him play halftime. I simply didn't watch it. Now....when Tom Petty, Paul McCartney or Bruce Soringsteen played, I watched. That's the music I prefer. But to each his/her own. Pop music passed me by many, many years ago. I simply don't care for any of it. Typical boomer!! 😅😅

I had an rx for it for my torn rotator cuff. I took one, thinking I would get a good night sleep. It make me very, very sick. Sweating and shivering all night long. I flushed the rest of them and just used Motrin. That stuff is nasty and like you, I consider myself lucky. I put down an allergy to it on my medical records. Never again...

The fight never would have happened if Duren hadn't been fouled hard. That was the very start of the melee. But Duren giving that guy a face shove? Yeah, 3 games. At least.
