Always hated that look. Expand Yeah, those were the worst. They were so ugly that I figured there must be utility to them but all I could imagine was them tripping on their pants. Quote

Expand I can't read this one, but I read the homeless story elsewhere and it didn't seem like he was really homeless. I got the impression that his family was poor, but he had a home with his mother if he wanted. He chose to live in his car for whatever reason. This might sound cold and I could easily be wrong, but it didn't seem like he was thrown out in the streets. Quote

Expand I think they were serious. They are just typical fans that watch a little baseball during the season and then go on to the next sport. Only a small percentage of fans follow the Tigers the way we do here. Quote

Motor City Sonics Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 I feel like Akil Baddoo needs a new number. #60 is a Spring Training number. But looking at the new numbers issued, it seems there are few available now #4 is open. Not being held for anyone. Maybe they'll hold it for Manny Machado next year. #10 is open, but I have a feeling that is being held for retirement for Jim Leyland. Ditto for #35 and Justin Verlander. #37, #38, #40, #41, and #44 are open, I believe. Some bay be taken by new coaches, but I think Baddoo would look positively smashing wearing #44. Player numbers are just a think with me. I don't know why it matters. I think single digit numbers for pitchers is something evil and unholy. If they can unlock Baddoo............. Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 What number will Wilmer Flores wear when he makes the team out of Spring Training? 41? 40? Wore #36 at Erie. Something tells me he won't have to buy that from Chasen Shreve Quote

Jim Cowan Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 I've been saying it for years, the Tigers' coaching staff isn't animated enough. Let's see some spit flying out of their mouths as they scream at people. Quote
