We're getting whipped.

Another team that has been terrible and is good again during the Tigers 7 year rebuild.

Please sell the team Chris !

Selling the team is not going to fix the problem.
The problem is a team like Tampa Bay with less money keeps players that have come thru their farm system and what do you know their winning.
MONEY IS ONLY A PART OF THE PROBLEM. Drafting player development. coaching, scouting, are just important. And one problem, finding players that want to play in Detroit.

I?m aware but Chris has shown no ability to get the right guys in the the right places. I certainly hope Harris is the answer. Early returns were promising. But the last month I am beginning to wonder about Harris. I?m sure I?m wrong as usual but latest moves have left my me wondering.The direction of the tigers. Just a little money spent last off season and the tigers may have been in first place.

I heard on a radio show (97.1 in Detroit). I think from Gator Scott Anderson and he said the tigers were at a crossroads when the traded all the big pieces away. Martinez , Verlander , and chose not to resign Max. A few others. They said the tigers could not afford to spend like the dodgers and Mets and others. You mentioned Tampa bay who never spends.

I looked it up. It?s a Fallacy that Chris couldn?t spend if he wanted to like his father.
Mike.

Illich holdings run by Chris Illich are worth 3.8 billion with a B.
They are tied for 7th in baseball using the list.

It?s ridiculous that the Tigers are not in first place in the central.

Kerry Carpenter has returned to the Tigers from his rehab assignment. He will be the designated hitter for tonight?s game against the Diamondbacks.
Tyler Nevin has been optioned to Triple-A Toledo to make room for Kerry Carpenter on the active roster.

The Tigers have announced the following roster moves:
*Claimed INF Nick Solak off waivers from Atlanta and optioned him to Triple A Toledo.
*To make room for Solak on the 40-man roster, transferred RHP Spencer Turnbull to the 60-day IL.
I wonder if Turnbull will ever throw another pitch for the Tigers?

 

[biggunsbob]

Record by this family is damning. They are 7th in money and they absolutely suck at building a baseball team.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers fail again with a runner on 3rd and less then 2 outs. Roger's k's.. He is so bad.

 

[biggunsbob]

Baez has his hit tonight. May as well swing at the first pitch. First two batters see 3 pitches before getting outs.

 

[coulomb]

Baddoo hurt, whats the over under, 4 weeks?

 

[biggunsbob]

Was walking the dog. What happened to AB ?

 

[biggunsbob]

Short up
Maton on 3rd. Carpenter on first .

Short Hits a deep fly ball to that shit hole center field in comerica and at least gets a sac fly 400 foot out I think.
2-2. Man tiger hitters just can?t get that big hit. Decent at bat though.

Ibanez flys out weakly to left field.

 

[biggunsbob]

Back to back doubles by Arizona 3-2. When was the last time we have done that ?

First double was terribly miss played by Mckinstry in RF. That was so miss played by Mckinstry. Had to bite us sooner later

Then a nice bunt moves runner over and a single. 4-2 AZ.

 

[biggunsbob]

Was a good outing until the 7th.

Vest in with runners on the corners.

 

[biggunsbob]

Another terrible review goes against the tigers. That bat never touched Rogers glove. I didn?t see it.

Bases loaded now a 3-1 count.
Lmao. Vest blows can?t even throw a strike when the guy is taking all the way. 5-2

Vest gives up a Grand a slam. 9-2. Other teams have zero issues hitting homers with the fences moved in lol.

 

[biggunsbob]

Must be nice to have a young athletic team that can hit like Az.

 

[biggunsbob]

**** Off Rogers ! Doing just enough to stay up.
Down 9-3

Glad they all like losing in the dugout. I just don?t see the point in celebrating a homer in a 9-2 game.

Safe.
