Pen not good at all today.

11 hits by Dodgers so far. Money sure does buy a good team.

If they don't have 5 starters get one. What team doesn't have 5 starters.. We've been doing it all year.

And every team out there throws bullpen games at times, when there are situations where they don't have five starters. Our problem is that we have too many pitchers that are out of options to be able to constantly rotate starters with Toledo, and we are on the fence when it comes to buying or selling, though anyone that is being realistic shouldn't be expecting us to compete for the postseason this year.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Rogers getting close to that sub .500 OPS. That means you stink..

 

[biggunsbob]

Rogers fails strands 2 in scoring position.
Sure hope Dingler can replace him. Rogers just can't hit.

 

[biggunsbob]

Shame we don't have a owner who would go after Ohtani.

Or anyone for that matter.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Can't even pickoff right.

He was always going to stay on the west coast.

 

[biggunsbob]

Lol
They pick off Ohtani and can't compete it because the lob to first base.
Tigers are just a sloppy team in the field.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Nice throw, ha.

Probably but
Don't know if you don't try.

The Tigers are a mid club they can't spend that cash. Plus if you know he won't come what's the point.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers playing some sloppy ball today. Shame they blew last nights 3-0 lead.

Have a look at Ohtani's contract. They are selling their future away in a much larger way than the Cabrera contract, with even more risk involved. It makes more sense for a team that has most of the other pieces in place, but it doesn't make sense for the Tigers as they are put together now.

Detroit averaged almost 3 million fans when the illich's had the one 10 year period in which they were decent. Imagine the crowds with him. Maybe that is the issue. We have one of the richest owners in baseball act like he isn't.
2006-2015 go look at the attendance figures. They are impressive for the Tigers.
(HINT WINNING IS WORTH IT)

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers need a 6 spot soon.

All owners are rich and they could all spend 300m a year. But they don't like losing money. And like I said Ohtani would never come here, offer him a billion dollars and he wouldn't come.

Center field gobbles up another ball . So deep.

The point is that you try . Get some good PR. It may help with other free agents.
Agree to disagree like normal.
Let's move on.

Detroit is not a hot destination. Best we can hope for is draft or trade.. When is the last time a free agenct a top guy chose to sign here, out of his prime Pudge? I wouldn't choose Detroit given the chance.
