I was going to say that the Tigers had better pitching, but they are about the same this year. I didn't realize how poor the Angels offense was this year. On the other hand, Trout and Ohtani are a lot more entertaining than anything the Tigers have. Edited July 17, 2022 by Tiger337 1 Quote

1984Echoes Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Dingler too. He doesn't deserve it as much as the other two guys... But I want him challenged. Quote

Tenacious D Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Clemens coming back up? We don’t have a 1B on the team. Quote

Clemens has raked since being sent down and should get the nod. Quote

Scottwood Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 It seems like Tork should have been optioned down 150 PAs ago, but good to see nonetheless. Quote
LongLiveMaroth Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Jobe with one of his best starts yet; 5IP 6H 2ER 6K 1BB Quote

I’ve seen nothing this season to suggest that he can’t be an elite pitcher still. The pitches are there, just a matter of getting better command of them consistently. Remember that his coaching prior to this was a HS coach—he’s getting proper instruction for the first time in his life. Manning went through similar challenges. Quote

Completely agree, I know everyone wants better results and quicker since they passed on Mayer but at the end of the day the kid is probably pitching from the stretch for the first time this year and could still absolutely be a top end starter.

Tiger337 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Jobe will be a starter for the Tigers in 2026. He'll have experimental rotatator cuff surgery in May. He'll come back in 2028 as an ace reliever for the Rays. Tigers General Manager James McCann will sign him to a three-year deal in 3035 and you know what happens next. Quote

Unfortunately, I won't be able to afford the fountain of youth until 3035 when I'll be long gone. Quote

Lots of deadline trades for 18 year-old shortstops with no plate dicipline and hard throwing relievers with command problems. Edited July 17, 2022 by Tiger337 Quote

LongLiveMaroth Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 I am curious as to the shakeup we will see after the AS break. Usually you will see some moves happen after the ASB to move players up and down levels. Quote
