Bless You Boys Tigers Blog BYB Podcast 72: Matt Boyd and other joys with Alex Fast of the Pitcher List. 71 minutes.
The BYB staff talks baseball from a Tigers? perspective.

If you?re not familiar with the fine website Pitcher List, well you should be.
One of our favorite sites for baseball analysis and good writing, the site has evolved from fantasy coverage and video focusing mainly on pitching, into a full-blooded baseball site covering all topics with a lot of great insight. We were pleased to welcome Alex Fast, VP of Pitcher List, to the podcast to talk about the Tigers 2020 pitching staff and pitching in general.

We talked a lot about Matt Boyd, because Boyd remains one of the more intriguing pitchers and developing personalities in the game. Beyond him, we look through the Tigers rotation and the odds of a better showing this season.
You can find Pitcher List?s interview with Matt Boyd right here.

Joe Jimenez is another interesting breakout candidate, and we?ll discuss his stuff, and the Tigers organizational philosophies as it comes to pitching and pitcher usage.

Finally we?ll talk the Tigers big three, as Casey Mize, Matt Manning, and Tarik Skubal continue to turn heads in Lakeland.
 
March 7 in Tigers and mlb history:

1893: In arguably the most significant rule change in major league history, the National League eliminates the pitching box and adds a pitcher's rubber five feet behind the previous back line of the box, establishing the modern pitching distance of 60 feet 6 inches. In addition, bats flattened on one side to facilitate bunting are banned.

1902: Hall of Famer James (Pud) Galvin dies at the age of 45. Galvin won 361 games over a 14-year career, placing him in a tie for sixth on the all-time list for most wins. In 1883 and 1884, Galvin won a combined 92 games.

1903: In the first trade under the peace treaty, the New York Giants send their 1902 part-time manager Heinie Smith to the Detroit Tigers for second baseman Kid Gleason, who is immediately moved to the Philadelphia Phillies where he will end a 20-year playing career.

1919: Christy Mathewson, back from the World War I, rejoins the New York Giants as pitching coach and heir apparent to John McGraw.

1934: Hank Greenberg, Charlie Gehringer, Billy Rogell, and Gee Walker pose for a photo during Spring Training.

1941: At Havana, the Brooklyn Dodgers roll over the Cleveland Indians, 15 - 0. Pee Wee Reese and Joe Medwick use a batting helmet designed by two Johns Hopkins Hospital doctors with the help of Larry MacPhail. The two Dodgers, victims of several hit by pitches last year, pronounce the helmets satisfactory. Brooklyn pitcher Van Lingle Mungo celebrates the victory a little too hard and when tomorrow's game is rained out, he continues to party. The result is that manager Leo Durocher sends him a note informing he's been reassigned to the Dodgers' minor league camp in Macon, Georgia.

1955: Commissioner Ford Frick states that he favors legalization of the spitter, "a great pitch and one of the easiest to throw".

1956: The Players Association accept the owners' decisions on minimum pay and the World Series television agreement. They seek workman's compensation coverage. The PA rehire J.M. Lewis as their representative.

1965: Detroit Tigers manager Chuck Dressen suffers a mild coronary occlusion. He will be sidelined until May 19th. Meanwhile, coach Bob Swift will be acting manager.

1979: Slugging outfielder Hack Wilson and longtime executive Warren Giles are elected to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee. Wilson, who had a relatively short career, won four National League home run titles while with the Chicago Cubs. Giles served as president of the Cincinnati Reds from 1937 to 1951, before becoming National League President for 18 seasons.

1979: At spring training, exhibition season opens with semi-pro and amateur umpires in place of major league arbiters, who are staging a collective holdout which won't be resolved until a few weeks into the season.

1991: Cool Papa Bell dies in St. Louis, Missouri, at the age of 87. An outfielder with blazing speed, Bell played in the Negro Leagues from 1922 to 1946. Bell entered the Hall of Fame in 1974, joining fellow Negro Leagues stars Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Buck Leonard and Monte Irvin.

1995: The Special Veterans Committee elects former major leaguers Richie Ashburn and Vic Willis, former National League president William Hulbert, and former Negro League player Leon Day to the Hall of Fame. Day will die of a heart attack six days from now.

1999: In a historic agreement, it is announced that the Baltimore Orioles will travel to Cuba for a March 28th exhibition game against the Cuban national team in Havana. The Cuban team will travel to the United States for a return contest later this season. It is the first time in 40 years that a team from the USA will play a professional game in Cuba.

2000: The Detroit Tigers sent Gregg Zaun to the Kansas City Royals as part of a conditional deal.

2005: The Detroit Tigers signed Alfredo Figaro as a free agent.

2008: The Detroit Tigers signed Blaine Neal as a free agent.

2018: Ichiro Suzuki is returning to the place where his North American journey started, signing a one-year deal with the Mariners. The 44-year-old outfielder first played in the majors with Seattle back in 2001 and had his best seasons with the team.
