Game 3: Detroit Tigers @ LA Dodgers. Saturday March 29th 9:10 pm

[gotime909]

Not sure if I remember a single series last year where Greene looked this bad

 

[biggunsbob]

Pitching has been awful this series

Olson was not very good.. Bo was awful . Skubal subpar. Spot on.
Vest no good. Others bad.

 

[biggunsbob]

Awful at bat by kreidler. His defense isnt nearly enough to make uo for the giant hole in his bat

I just do not understand why they are so fixated on defense?
Our defense stinks anyways now. Get some sticks up here.

 

[gotime909]

Maeda first pitch is homer lol

 

[biggunsbob]

Dodgers have 9 homers this series .
Dodgers are ambushing our pitchers .
Swinging early it seems a lot.

 

[biggunsbob]

Thanks Meada. Way to keep it close. Trail 7-3.

Keep shaking your head to retirement please !

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers need a miracle not to get swept now. Thanks Bo you piece of crap.

 

[biggunsbob]

Embarrassing series.

I think we had a lead in every game this series.

 

[biggunsbob]

158 More games to go.

DEEPER DISCUSSIONS.
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.

well, I'm glad that series is over. What a shit show.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I know it is really early, but my gut tells me that moving Colt to 1B has to have some negative impact on his development.

He started off slow last year as well. I'll worry in another week or so. What we need is our best SP, TBD what happened to him.
