I feel bad for him because he was signed to come here and help make us respectable, and now the team is making the playoffs in spite on him, and that has to weigh on his psyche some. I would wish something like that only on bad people.

It's OK.  He'll get another shot next year.

He seems like an awesome guy and is definitely a good teammate to take ownership of his struggles and accept the demotion to the bullpen.

 

However, from a competitive standpoint, I see no justification in keeping him for next year.  We already have 5-7 better options for SP, plus an additional 4-5 better options for long relief in the system.  Its time to let a newly fledgling franchise take chances on bounce back arms and for us to start moving forward with our youth.

Maeda is not going to get cut this winter, I’m as close to 100% sure of that as I can be. Same with Javy. They will both get a chance in Lakeland to show what they can do, but if Javy is batting a buck-ten on March 15, or Maeda has a 10 ERA by then, either or both might be simply cut.

You’re right, but I can think of 12 million reasons why he’ll get another shot in ‘25.

[chasfh]

Looks like the Tigers are definitely playing with house money and phoning it in. Our approach to this game is not unlike taking a half-hearted stab at the slots at 3:30am with money you won in blackjack before going back up to the room for the night.

Might as well get used to the idea that we’re going to Houston on Tuesday. Hopefully Yordan Alvarez will be out for the series with his injury.

Right. Well, that and the fact that he’s an established major league pitcher who is not at the stage of his career where it’s one bad year and it’s curtains for him. Even if he were making a million next year, i think he’d still get the same shot.

[Tenacious D]

Carp! Gritty Tigs

[Tigermojo]

WOW

[chasfh]

Hope I jinxed my prediction!

[chasfh]

Man, what a heady play by Sweeney at second, recovering the Colt Keith bobble on the grounder. Almost got two out of it!

[chasfh]

Man, Mize got discombobulated on that grounder which should have been an inning-ending double play.

[Tenacious D]

Where’s our Sunday Tork Bomb?

[Motor City Sonics]

Got a question

 

Do you ever feel totally worthless?

Like nothing you do matters to anyone ever? 

That your very existence is pointless? 

 

Asking for a friend.............

Spring Training stats don't matter. They have to lose regular season games for a true evaluation. 😒

[Tenacious D]

Keider?  I would have thought he would be the Game 2 starter.  Looking like it will be a bullpen game now.

[chasfh]

Now Keider Montero is getting trigger time this game? Does that mean he’s not starting in Houston/Baltimore? Are we doing the bulk reliever in Game Three where Montero comes in for five innings in the second? Or might this mean that Jackson Jobe might get a start?

I’m pretty sure Olson was always getting the Game Two start. I think we might be talking Game Three now.

Javy won't be on this team next January.    Kenta will get another shot, but he has no business being on the playoff roster - unless you want a guy to eat up inning in a blow out.  

[Tigermojo]

Celebrated a little too much. Need to get their edge back by Tuesday.

[Motor City Sonics]

Get this garbage all out of your system today, boys. 

 

To think they'd have anything close to the intensity they had the last 2 weeks would be naive.   

[Tenacious D]

Looks like we could be Texas bound.

The ultimate David v Goliath showdown.

At least we won’t have Greg Pappas returning with his passive aggressive posts.

[Sports_Freak]

Announcers are missing the point. These guys pitching for the Tigers aren't gonna be on the roster for the 1st series.

[chasfh]

Looks like Keider Montero is turning back into a pumpkin.

And after we win, we avoid the Yankees.

[Motor City Sonics]

White Sox haven't scored 9 runs in a week this season. 

 

It wasn't partying - it was not having that same fire the last two days because how could they?   That would be way too much to ask.         

 

Could you imagine if this was happening and they hadn't clinched yet?   We'd be freaking out so much.
