Kirk Gibson will be missed, deeply, in that Tigers broadcast booth. Parkinson's had robbed his voice of energy that is much needed behind a mic, but his insights, were, typical of Gibson, unmatched. He has battled Parkinson's nobly. The man is beyond inspiring.

she blames the AA and the old regime, but I put more blame on Harris and co. They "anointed" Keith at 2B and pulled the rug out from under him after one season. Now they expect him to learn a new position in year 2, with the results so far looking terrible. Should have left 1B and 2B alone.

Too bad the Tigers don’t understand the value of insight over theatre. Too many analysts try way too hard to entertain to the point of distraction. Gibson wasn’t an act, but, rather, a natural.

How can Kriedler is even in the picture?

No kidding, he is substantially worse than Baez and Mckinstry...what is his role

He cant hit mlb pitching

Can't deny that claim. I was willing to overlook the physical limitations in exchange for the content.

I think this was Gibby's decision.

I hope so. I think that he earned the right to make it.

why did Manning start today? I thought he was sent down to the minor league fields

I don't understand anything this spring. We started Madris at first today. Seems like you should want every start to go to colt, Malloy and tork there.

A.J. Hinch today on Justyn-Henry Malloy: "I've been very impressed with his consistency at the plate. I think all of us can agree, we kind of expect a good at-bat every time."

In order here are my biggest 2025 Tigers questions as of 3/18/25.
Will Kevin McGonigle play in the majors by July.
2. How long does it take Fetter to tweak Jobe so that he begins to miss bats.
3. Will Gleybor Torres concede and agree to try and play 3B for the good of the team.
4. Will Scott Harris admit he needs to cut Kenta Maeda.
5. How soon can Vierling and Parker get truly healthy and back to normal.
Everyone's favorite Marc Gorosh

Riley Greene says the culture within the Tigers clubhouse is what defines them as a team. "We have that team chemistry, and we're only making it better."

 

[kalinecountry]

The Detroit Tigers are preaching flexibility in playing different positions. But it shouldn't be applied to everyone on the roster. Some players are more crucial to their team's success than others. Playing an unfamiliar position increases the risk of injury.

Case in point: Riley Greene who was removed from CF due to previous injuries. But now he's back there and today made 2 risky diving catches. The last was esp. awkward. Imagine if he gets hurt playing CF, joining Meadows on the IL. A dangerous move that needs to be avoided.
