Tigers fans fuming after video replay overturns go-ahead run vs. Dodgers
For a few minutes on Friday night, Manny Margot looked like he'd already become a Detroit Tigers hero just two games into his career with Detroit. With the Tige

March 30 in Tigers and mlb history:
1944: Branch Rickey suggests the pooling of surplus players if major league 4F players are drafted for military service. Nothing comes of the suggestion.
1946: The Detroit Tigers released Bob Harris.
1966: Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers end their dual holdout. Both pitchers had stayed away from camp for 32 days, threatening retirement in an effort to acquire pay raises. Koufax signs for $120,000; Drysdale settles for $105,000.
1971: The New York Mets traded Dean Chance and Bill Denehy to the Detroit Tigers for Jerry Robertson.
1972: Marvin Miller, executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, completes his canvass of players on the strike issue. 663 vote in favor of a strike, ten vote against, and two players abstain.
1979: Major League Baseball umpires meet in Chicago, IL and vote 50-2 to reject new offers from the American and National leagues. They will be on strike when the season starts in a few days.
1982: The Montreal Expos sent Elias Sosa to the Detroit Tigers as part of a conditional deal.
1984: The Detroit Tigers traded Charlie Nail (minors) to the Cincinnati Reds for Dallas Williams.
1985: The Detroit Tigers released Dave Gumpert.
1990: The Detroit Tigers traded Doug Strange to the Houston Astros for Lou Frazier.
1991: The Kansas City Royals traded Andy Allanson to the Detroit Tigers for Jim Baxter (minors).
1993: Peanuts character Charlie Brown hits a game-winning home run - his first round tripper in 43 years. Almost ten percent of the nearly 18,000 Peanuts strips created by cartoonist Charles M. Schulz focus on baseball.
1993: The Detroit Tigers purchased Bob MacDonald from the Toronto Blue Jays.
2000: With a swipe of second base, Rickey Henderson joins Ted Williams as the only major league players to steal a base in four different decades.
2009: The Atlanta Braves traded Josh Anderson to the Detroit Tigers for Rudy Darrow (minors).
2010: Dontrelle Willis' comeback is on the right track, as he is advised by Tigers manager Jim Leyland that he has made the team as the fifth starter.
2010: The Detroit Tigers sent Nate Robertson to the Florida Marlins as part of a conditional deal for left-handed pitching prospect Jay Voss.
2010: Pat Venditte, the first ambidextrous pitcher in organized baseball since Greg Harris retired in 1995, gets to show his stuff in an exhibition game for the Yankees against the Braves. The 24-year-old ends the 5th inning by retiring Yunel Escobar on two pitches from the right side; he then moves from one arm to the other as he works his way through the Braves' batting order in the 6th. When switch-hitter Brooks Conrad steps to the plate, home plate umpire Mike Reilly reminds Venditte of rule 8.01 that states that he must commit to one arm, in order to avoid the fiasco of his professional debut with the Staten Island Yankees in 2008, when he and switch-hitter Ralph Henriquez Jr. changed sides repeatedly in a cat-and-mouse game. Venditte choses to face Conrad right-handed, and retires him on a ground ball to end his turn on the mound, Venditte will start the year with the Class-A Tampa Yankees, where he was 2-0, 2.21 in 21 games last year.
2012: Jamie Moyer becomes the oldest starting pitcher to make an Opening Day roster when the Rockies announce that the 49 year-old southpaw will face Houston in the second game of the season.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FPDLmf-X...png&name=small
2015: As had been rumored, the Cubs announce that they have sent top prospect Kris Bryant to their minor league camp, even though he has had an outstanding spring training. Agent Scott Boras expresses outrage, claiming the move is motivated by financial and not baseball reasons, while the Players' Association threatens some form or retaliation. However, Major League Baseball reminds everyone that teams have the sole right to determine which players end up on their roster, as confirmed under the Basic Agreement. Bryant will be called up on April 17th and will end up winning the Rookie of the Year Award.
2016: The Detroit Tigers signed Casey McGehee as a free agent.
2016: The Detroit Tigers signed Bobby Parnell as a free agent.
2017: The Detroit Tigers released Collin Balester.
2017: The Detroit Tigers released Mike Pelfrey.
2018: 1968 World Series MVP Mickey Lolich threw out the first pitch today in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Tigers World Series Championship this season. #OpeningDayDETROIT
2018: On a wild Opening Day, the Tigers rally from 4 runs down in the 9th to tie the game, have a walk-off single by JaCoby Jones in the 10th overturned on review, and lose 13-10 in the 13th: the longest Opening Day game in major league history.
2018: After recording two hits on Opening Day Detroit, Miguel Cabrera finished with his 756th career multi-hit game. That ties him with Tigers Hall of Famer Harry Heilmann and Ted Williams for 54th in MLB history.
2019: In a very rare occurrence, position players take the mound for both teams in the Dodgers' 18 - 5 win over the Diamondbacks. The two teams' bullpens are worn out after playing a 13-inning game the previous night, so with a large deficit in the 7th, Arizona sends back-up catcher John Ryan Murphy to pitch, and he gives up 7 more runs in 2 innings. The Dodgers then ask their own back-up catcher, Russell Martin, to close out the win in the 9th, and he obliges by setting down the side on 10 pitches.
2024: The Orioles are off and running as they defeat the Angels, 13 - 4, after winning their opening game, on March 28th, by a score of 11 - 3. Grayson Rodriguez allows just one run over six inning while striking out nine, while Gunnar Henderson, who has three hits, and Anthony Santander both homer. Santander has seven RBIs over the two games, and the O's run differential is +17.
Also off to a great start are the Yankees, who defeat the Astros on the road for the third straight game, 5 - 3. Off-season acquisition Juan Soto hits his first homer in pinstripes to lead the charge. The Yanks have come from behind in all three games, a significant difference from the listless team that finished fourth in its division last year.

Totally Tigers
Several days ago, Tarik Skubal wrote a letter to Detroit Tiger fans. It was also videotaped and narrated by Skubal. He referenced the Tigers’ new tag line “We’re the Tigers and we’re built different.” (Yes, it should be “differently” but apparently no one uses adverbs anymore.)
Give this a read. (Hitting Control and then + will enlarge the print).
It later came out that the Tigers asked him to do this.
What do you think of this quasi-personal quasi-commercial creation?
Is this a Tigers’ PR marketing idea to sell more tickets by using last year’s warm/fuzzy feeling and improbably run?
Are the Tigers using Skubal to market the team and raise its profile/legitimacy after a decade of bad press?
Are the Tigers looking to create a strategy in which Skubal may be more apt to re-sign with the team by making him the face of the organization?
Or is this simply a heartfelt letter by Tarik to the fans?
Or could there be another purpose?
We’re not doing a poll today because potentially there are a variety of reasons that are plausible. Instead, we’re asking fans to provide the feedback and rationale for their beliefs.
But if you prefer not to submit an answer (and you know this is a user-friendly and troll-free site that promotes acceptance of all opinions), we ask that you click the like button of the statements that resonate the most with you.
Let’s see which comment turns out to be the most widely accepted one among fans.
