I read these TT articles every day, hoping that she comes up with something new. Some articles are good. Most are just re-hashing how shitty AA was. It's getting really old.

I haven't really heard anything. FWIW, Kreidler has the most PA this spring of anybody that is supposed to be a 3B and he has 5 xbh and what our new front office loves...3 walks :clap:

Here's a random fun fact about LHP Chasen Shreve. 30.8% of his pitches thrown have been thrown for swinging strikes. Six of his seven strikeouts have come by swing and miss so far this spring.

Drawing big praise in his first Tigers camp, Justyn-Henry Malloy @jhenmalloy is taking the lead in creating a winning culture.

from the article: "The Tigers have also told Venezuela that Miguel Cabrera?s participation must be limited to 1at-bat per game. In the last WBC, Miggy got hurt which impacted his entire season with the Tigers."

what is the point in even going if you are only going to allow him to have one AB per game? How is he even helping the team? How is he helping himself get ready for the season?

IMO, it's really stupid

With the Jackson Jobe news..somewhere Al Avila must be wondering as his next direct deposit hits..I may have been the greatest baseball liar in history..but damn I think I sucked as a GM..that Marc Gorosh guy was right..let me check my bank balance again..nice..

Fuck you again you stupid dumb fuck bumbling cocksucker Al Avila for drafting a high school pitcher with a top 5 pick in the draft when the consensus best hitter Marcello Mayer was there to be taken.

How do Tigers infielders feel about the new defensive shift restrictions? Let
@javy23baez Javy Baez and Jonathan Schoop break it down for you.

Home runs from Riley Greene and Akil Baddoo in the third, and it is 5-0 Tigers.

Colt Keith follows his homer with a triple in the third and is clearly unstoppable. Andrew Knapp, pinch hitting for Jake Rogers who was HBP earlier, goes yard as well. 7-0 Tigers. Domingo German having no fun out there.

Colt Keith demolishes this ball for his 2nd home run of the spring. How about 111.4 MPH off the bat and 427 feet.
Colt Keith?s home run:
Distance: 427 feet.
Exit velocity: 111.4 mph.
