Detroit Tigers Thread: Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here

Fire Hinch

 

Remember this game if we miss the playoffs by one game

 

This team is the opposite of the "every time I think I'm out they pull me back in" meme. Every time I even consider they might be a decent watch, they do this and remind me I need to find other things to do.

 

DFA tonight

 

Harris really gonna make us wait to Sept 1st to see Malloy and Meadows?

 

About time. Good progress on cutting dead weight.

 

Here comes the beat writer love fest. Hasse is such a great guy because he mows his lawn.

 

do you mow your roommate/mom’s lawn or does she hire someone for that?

 

Wish it had worked out for Haase. The new guy is a good reclamation project.

 

He was here 4 years? It did.

 

Yes

 

Tork had a .231 BABIP on May 2nd. Since then:



Not exciting for a #1 overall pick, but not a complete disaster. He's terrible at Comerica this year - not a friendly park for RH power.

 

He’s gonna fuck around and hit 30 homers.

 

He turns 24 soon, still young and time to develop.

 

just needs more consistency.
if Carpenter can prove to be a 25+ homer guy, should have a decent core here. Still need to add 1 or 2 bats in free agency, and get a new SS

 

This is the first time the Tigers have taken the season series from Cleveland since 2015.

 

I wonder if Austin will take a break from his vacation and be in attendance tomorrow.

 

maybe his brother will feel more comfortable with him around?

 

Hopefully JHM and Keith are up soon. Gonna need them for the playoff push.

 

Never been a big Meadows believer, but he's been really productive the last three months:


Toledo is a tough place to hit, especially home runs, looking at last year's park factors (don't have this years). Meadows has been better on the road with the .842 season road OPS:



Hopefully, Meadows has a better major league career than I've been expecting. He's #11 on the Tigers Baseball America mid-season prospect list, so they're pretty tepid on him.

 

Next year could be kind of fun if it’s some combination of:
Green
Tork
Kerry
Keith
Meadows
Baez
Rodgers
Jung
JHM
With badoo/veirling as utility

 

Code for "we need Miggy the fuck out of the way first"?

 

"People are still buying tickets to see Miggy so we're not going to bench him now"

 

Guess Austin isn’t part of his family

 

Let’s go Tork. You da man

 

Tork, Carp, Keith could be a solid 3 punch

 

Greene?

 

Clark?

 

Can’t believe Avila thought he was slick thinking Tork can play 3rd base. He can’t even fucking play 1st adequately.

 

All 5 pitches to Meadows were balls. He got a shitty call on that third strike but he shouldn’t have been swinging at the other ones to start.

 

Fuck you Fulmer. Bitch ass hoe

and fuck you ump

 

He's also coming from robot umps, which are more precise on the corners and that last one definitely wouldn't have been called a strike in the minors.

 

The amount of cubs fans at this game is giving me flashbacks to when Tigers fans uses to pack Wrigley back when we didn’t suck ass.

 

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anyone with more failed attempts to bare hand a ball than Baez.

 

Fuck the cubs

 

Fuck this ump. That was a Walk. Robot umps please

 

Mud Hens currently up 20-10.

 

Keith hits some monster HRs for someone who up until the middle of last season wasn't really considered much of a power hitter.

 

Yeah Meadows seems fun. If the power is legit, the combo of power/speed with elite centerfield defense would definitely play
