They have been in the playoffs four years in a row and will probably make it five this year. And they didn't have to go through a prolonged period of hopeless teams to get there.

Tiger337 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 OK, I get that, but the Brewers don't have a history of making bad trades. We don't even know if the Olson trade is bad yet. Norris was a good prospect a while ago too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chas commented that if Al just limited his trades to the Cubs, he'd be OK. I mentioned the Brewers because that was the other party in one of the trades RandyMarsh mentioned. It wasn't meant to be that serious a post or to be taken this literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edman85 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Maybe I should save the invective for the political board, but we find out Thursday who gets put on the Dumbass List for the Tigers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it wrong to hope Coolbaugh is one and that the Tigers’ bats go absolutely bonkers for the series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutiger Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 AJ made a comment earlier in the week that it would affect the Tigers in the same way that it has affected others. So maybe that means Greene isn't one of them I suspect the relievers would be the ones to watch, but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious D Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Is this the current rotation? Skubal Hutchinson Hill Alexander (assuming) Who else is healthy? Are we going to have to call up Elvin Rodriguez? this rotation might only be able to win 10-15 games the rest of the season. And all bets are off if Skubal is traded without another pitcher coming back in return. currently injured: Mize, Manning, Turnbull, Pineda, R. Garcia, Brieske. MIA—Eduardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Rotation may not be looking so bad by Sept - maybe Skubal, Manning, Rodriquez, Brieske, Turnbull. Of course by the time they are all back to take one final turn in the rotation before the season ends, they will have already lost 95+ games.

RandyMarsh Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Not that it would matter since this season is lost but this is why I hated them dragging their feet last year in regards to his injury. He went down in May, had all the signs of needing TJ but instead they chose to just rest him for almost 2 months before finally caving in and giving him the surgery. Perhaps it was Turnbull's decision since no player wants to go through TJ but when all the signs are there don't pussyfoot around, instead get it done ASAP so he can get back sooner. If we were in the midst of a playoff chase him getting back and getting 10 starts vs. none could be difference. And even if it wasn't it would be nice to have him potentially work out any kinks or command issues this year so next season he will be all ironed out and ready to go. K end of rant.

RatkoVarda Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 FWIW Turnbull signed a 2 year contract for 22 and 23 for $3.65M; could be they thought this would happen; they control him for 24 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
