wow. i mean i guess i knew it was bad, but seeing it spelled out like this is another level. there is no way we are not completely fucked for the next 2-3 seasons, at least

i forgot about erod (lmao) - i guess we can reasonably hope for 180 IP from him next season. no idea where the rest comes from

How many players from the 2022 team could play for the 1984 team?

The thing is, the pitching side of the equation hasn't been the issue.  Its mind boggling how the random fill in pitching staff combined with sometimes craptastic defense has kept the Tigers at 4.40 runs allowed per game versus an MLB average of 4.33.

screwing around 1/2 the season with Mize maybe ends up biting them in the asz next season.

The one caveat is - do you always get the other team's best offensive effort when you are always behind and hardly ever threaten to score? I imagine most hitters don't give away ABs regardless of the game situation because it's always a one on one with the pitcher, but if it happens even 5% of the time it's going to measurably depress your runs against.

This is what great baseball used to look like:

Saw the Raconteurs at Michigan Theater that night.   After the show, got in my car to drive home and as soon as I turned on the radio this happened and that's the second I realized that we could win it all.

Jackie Bradley Jr. anyone?     I mean, what could it hurt at this point?

I think you've found one of the few hitters in baseball who is worse than what we have.

Hmmm...... Sounds like a challenge that might be of interest to watch.

I guess you could also wonder if the opposition sees the Tigers and decides its a good time to rest some regulars.  But, hey, they bench guys gotta eat, too.

[Dan Gilmore]

Hoping Turnbull and Erod add to the 2023 staff, plus some of the others currently injured ones are not lost long term.

Come on young outfielders. This is your chance to make an impression.

Mccosky: 

Miguel Cabrera just told me, directly, that he has no intention of retiring after this year. His plan, he said, is to finish out his contract and retire after 2023.
