Detroit Tigers Thread: Cardiac Cats 2.0 (TTF)

Bro it’s too cold for him to hit remember?

 

It’s pretty sad how they are basically no good young guys on this. 25 man roster that are worth watching.

 

Stewart has had his moments. And of course my guy Goodrum if you consider him young

 

How many more years are we paying miggy?

 

5 I think. We are fucked with his contract. Probably 2nd worst in all of baseball.

 

Fielder was worst all time so nice job DD

 

Stop throwing Greene in non save situations.

 

Yikes. I guess that’s what $250M does to you

 

After winning the triple crown, there isn't much left to accomplish in life other than creating a successful candy empire.

 

Yes sir. Great fucking news.

 

Casey Mize. 7 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K

 

It’s time for Erie

 

First 3 starts:

18 IP, 1 R, 6 H, 21 K, 1 BB

 

Manning in AA:

4.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 8 K, 1 BB

Also, since our chat about Rogers, he's been on a tear and had an OPS over 1.000 heading into tonight

 

Not getting anything for Jimenez if he keeps pitching like this, though

 

Yeah he sucks.

 

Will Cabrera finish with an OPS over 800?

 

Let’s throw Greene in another non save situation. Great decision.

 

It's a home game and it was the 9th inning. It's statistically impossible for him to get a save tonight. He's just supposed to sit in the pen all night?

 

He pitched last night in the same situation. Weren’t you saying last week they were overusing him?

 

I said 7 appearances in 11 days was too much. He hadn't pitched in 6 days before last night. Bringing your closer/best reliever into a tie game in the top of the 9th or 10th is standard/smart usage.

 

Pitchers needs a night off here and there. Hot takers never do.

 

I'll also take the over on this, provided he's healthy enough to get ABs in the second half of the season and overcome the bad start. He's had a ton of injuries and is a little afraid to let it loose right now, IMO. He'll get better as he gets more comfortable being back.

 

I doubt it, but okay.

 

Btw Nick Burdi sure would look good in a Tigers uniform. Too bad we took Victor Reyes over him.

 

I was kind of starting to like Gardenhire, too

 

Tank city in full effect

 

Burn it down and rebuild over

 

And fire Avila

 

Now he needs to start hitting for some power so we can trade him for whatever we can get.

I don't like that move from his perspective, though. Boras has a very sketchy track record in recent years with players of his caliber in free agency.

 

Fuck him. Who cares.

 

Does this scare off teams that would have traded for him at the deadline with a thought that they could resign him? Maybe it was already this way but seems like he'll be purely viewed as a rental at this point

 

I doubt that plays into it at all. I don't think anyone would have traded for him with the idea that they would sign him before FA.

 

He could have been had for peanuts this off season and nobody wanted him. You see the shit return Avila got for JD? Castellanos is an average MLB player. We won’t get jack shit for him at the deadline.

 

Then why bother trading him?

 

To save $2-3 million.

 

FG Chat:
AK: Whats the upside on Tarik Skubal? Is there long-term starter potential or is he destined for the bullpen?

Kiley McDaniel: breaking ball has backed up from my first look at him the fall before he signed, but changeup had improved some and he hit 97. There’s some chance he can start, but feels to me more like inventory starter that ends up being a middle/long reliever
