Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

Lets look at where Tarik Skubal ranked in September:

WHIP: 0.60 - 1st
K%: 39.4% - 1st
wOBA: .166 - 1st
SIERA: 2.21 - 1st
ERA: 0.90 - 2nd
FIP: 1.32 - 2nd
BB%: 3.7% - 7th

The .217 BABIP & 91% LOB are important context too, but that's a helluva way to end 2023.
 
Casey Mize completed a bullpen session today and will throw another on Friday in his rehab process, according to Tigers medical update. If all goes well, he'll then begin his normal offseason strength and conditioning workouts.
 
The Tigers hired Kelly Boyce as an assistant athletic trainer.

She worked in the Diamondbacks' minor-league department from 2016-23. Three roles: medical coordinator, athletic trainer, rehab/performance therapist. Worked with head athletic trainer Ryne Eubanks in Arizona.

PROMISE, POTENTIAL AND IMPRESSIONS.
Totally Tigers

The first year of any new baseball regime is always the toughest for fans.

Sure, we?re always hopeful when disastrous GMs are shown the door and a new era is ushered in.

But we?re never handed a summary of how good or bad they will be as they step into their jobs. We have to wait for things to unfold. Slowly. Bit by bit.

Fans are in a blind spot for the first year. We really don?t know how things are going to work out. We have to hunt and peck for those little moves that tell us what kind of a PoBO or GM he may be.

We add up all those little clues during the year and start to form some first impressions. And when we get enough of them, we put them together and begin to assemble the new Front Office?s patterns and ways of operating.

Personally, I like what I see in Scott Harris so far. God knows he was given an absolute dumpster fire of an organization to dig out of and had to spend some time steering the ship away from the rocks. It?s going to take longer than a year for him to get fully up to speed given everything he?s had to address first.

But my impression of him is only partially formed. I need to see another year as PoBO in which he moves from the reassessment phase into the re-imagine stage.

Given all of this, I can see how very differently this organization is being run now that the grown-ups are in charge.

And that?s what today?s blog is about.
 
Some notes on Tigers broadcaster Jason Benetti:

- He will be employed by the Tigers, not Bally Sports Detroit.
- He will call a minimum of 127 games per season.
- Dan Dickerson, the radio play-by-play broadcaster, will move to the TV booth when Benetti isn't calling games.

Jason Benetti is quite literally one of the best play by play announcers in the world and he?s somehow a better person. This is a massive loss for the White Sox organization and more importantly, White Sox fans.
I?m thrilled for my friend who will crush it for the Tigers.

One of the top voices in sports is coming to the 313!
Renowned broadcaster @jasonbenetti has inked a multi-year contract to be our television play-by-play announcer.
