Bold tiger predictions.

[Thumb]

I predict if we do not win the World series I will blame DD first and Marlboro man second and the cold weather third... I am tired of losing WS.. It is time to break through or try something different..

Would at least blaming the players be 4th?

5th... Fourth would probably be the shirt i wore... The team as constructed is flawed.. I just don't understand the 2006 and 2012 WS collapses... They piss me off still

I got a real chance at 2 out of 3, max is historic right now and jhonny might create the perfect situation fora trade.

 

[durtymrclean]

2/3... not bad at all.

Just from this thread. Overall, you are about 50/50. How are the Uptons brothers working out?

Id say im a little better than 50/50. Besides the upton brothers, what else have I really whiffed on?

Looks like my call on Verlander's no-hitter was made before all the facts were in on his condition and performance this season.

Looks like the Max perdiction is heading for 20+ wins with his 18 under the belt today. He should get 7 more starts before the season is over with 38 to play. So I perdict the season is over before we know it.

But really with the way Scherzer a going. Is 25 wins a reach. 7 wins in 7 starts? Based on his last 7 starts 23-2 is within reach.
So the question is how many wins does Max finish with.
I'll go with 4 more wins to finish at 22. The Oak and Bosox games could be ND or Loses. KC twice, Seattle, Minnie, Miami. And he mite be held out of the Miami series, or a limited start.
So yea 22 wins
and O yea 17 wins in the next 38 gets the Tigers to 90. Really like there chances to those that went 90+ this season. Anyone for 27 and 11 at this point?
Good grief I left out the Mets series. Will be a good game against Harvey. But I'll stay with 22 thoe. Many teams play differently in the last month of the season spoilers, and callups affect games. Getting 4 wins with out a lose would be great.

Max 20 wins

1 of 3. Not bad

 

[spockmaster]

id say 1.5/3. iglesias isnt impact vs peralta's offense, but his defense is amazing and he's our ss of the future.


not bad, duty.

But the original prediction was "by July".

eh, we got him in july so i still gave it half credit.

We wouldve lost peralta regardless of jose. Jose was an even bigger impact than when you realize we'd have ramon santiago and hernan perez as the starters for a good part of the season. The al central race would look a lot different.

 

[durtymrclean]

Plus jose's offense is underrated. Continuing to put up a .720 ops since the trade, he is practically elite since he is probably the best defender in all of the AL.

 

[durtymrclean]

Plus it was july when jose was acquired. Really, to claim iglesias isn't an impact player while saying he is the ss of the future is pretty contradictory.

Who are you trying to convince. As I said, 1 in 3.

Iggy is not what you had in mind when you made the forecast and you know it. And you said by July. Meaning April, May or June. Regardless, it is still 1 in 3, 1 in 4 if we broaden out to include the Uptons, or is that 1 in 5?

I'm not sure what he had in mind but IMO, Jose I. is impact as you get. Especially considering our SS was suspended..

That's OK Mitch, take whatever position is opposite of mine.

Yeah yeah..but not in this case :cheers: I've been aching for a stud defensive SS for ages..and considering JP was suspended and our best next option would be Ramon it was a pretty damn good pick up.

I might be in the minority but this was a very good July trade.

Side edit: Add in the fact he's young, cheap and has years left before he becomes a FA - it just gets better.
