Tigermojo Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 On channel 4 they had an interview with Riley Greene. I'm paraphrasing but apparently this team is capable of scoring 10 runs in an inning and it's a really good offense. 1 Quote

Motor City Sonics Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Here I was yesterday, impressed that we had one day of no pitcher injuries only to find out Casey Mize had back surgery too and his back had bothered him for years. Did he lie to the Tigers? Quote

Sports_Freak Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Fluff piece in the Free Press today. Apparently, Torkelson is hitting bombs. Only the first day and against a pitching machine but don't let that get in the way of a good story. Quote

oblong Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 I tell this story a lot but what I like about the stirrups thing is I hear people lament they don't wear them like the good old days. they aren't fans of how players today "do it". But when stirrups became a thing in the 60s it was led by guys like Joe Morgan and other black players as a form of solidarity. and people complained about it being showboating. Got that from Bouton's book. If they only knew. Quote

RandyMarsh Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Im glad the long pants over the cleats look that Manny Ramirez made popular appears to have faded out. Always hated that look. Quote

mtutiger Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 To be slightly serious for just a moment, it does seem early on that Spencer Turnbull is getting an outsized amount of hype from both the writers and the team (in form of Harris/AJ comments, social media). He's kind of the forgotten man, but he has always seemed capable of coming back from TJ and being successful. We shall see. Quote

The issue for Turnbull was never really coming back, it's more about what breaks next. His injury history is so extensive, going back to college, that it's hard to envision that suddenly stopping now. Quote
