If they could some how make him a designated fielder, that would be perfect.

I always wondered why they don't have that yet.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Olsen pitching tomorrow so low scoring I suspect.

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

On Monday, the Detroit Tigers released their new City Connect uniforms. They will be worn during Friday home games, approximately 12 times this year.
City Connect is a brand name of Nike. It is part of a contract Nike signed with MLB to produce “alternate uniforms.” A veiled attempt to try to attract more fans, especially the younger ones. Oh, and to create another revenue stream. Only the Yankees and Athletics have opted out from having these new uniforms.
It will be the first time the Tigers will not be wearing white at home.

These new togs are meant to be fun. To mix it up a little.
The Tigers’ new uniform is a mix of black and dark blue and showing no logos other than the Nike swoosh. The cap says “Detroit” and the jersey shows “Motor City.” The pattern on the jerseys is meant to imitate tire tracks. (Insert your Saturday morning cartoon memories here.)

What fans will not see is the “tiger eyes” picture under the bill of the cap and the numbers/codes showing the area code, year the team was founded and the years of World Series championships. That is, unless you buy a replica.
For a full viewing the new uniform, check this out:

I knew that 3 & 4 would lead in votes. Most baseball fans are older and like tradition. I know I do. That said, these uniforms aren't meant for old existing fans. They are meant for new, younger fans. They will be a hit with young casual fans, and a lot of young people that aren't a fan of the Tigers at all.

The funny thing is that Meadows was sent down and Keith's replacement goes 4-4 with 2 HR and a walk. Keith needs to follow Meadows to Toledo. Tork should be right behind him.

Jace Jung had another multi-hit game last night. 3-4 with a HR (6). His OPS is up to .922

Maybe the genius Harris signed the wrong guy to a long term deal

 

[Mitchrapp]

They're terrible.

 

[byco42]

I think these uniforms have always connected to the city and its people. This is what Willie Horton wore to help quell the riots of 1967. If there is one team that does not need a "city connect" uniform, it's the Tigers. Once again, Nike invents a phantom need, and the people think that it's needed. I wonder if the old guard (Horton, Gibson, Parrish) really endorsed the unis from the heart or are under contract to do so.

And for a city to claim to know so much about cars, it can't even portray the tire tracks as a realistic, definable tread. All-summer tires would have been the obvious choice. This, to me, is a glaring oversight and a huge miss to express the subtext that is really relevant and esoteric.

They're terrible.

You are being rather generous in your evaluation.

According to Elias Sports, the Tigers have hit leadoff home runs in back-to-back games for the first time since June 3-4, 2002. Additionally, it marks the first time in franchise history hitting a leadoff home run three times in a four-game span.

Kenta Maeda's latest blowup may warrant big changes for Tigers rotation

Could Kenta Maeda's two inning, seven run outing for the Tigers lead to a more full-time call-up for Matt Manning?
