Welp, Trade deadline is tomorrow. Hopefully this will at least tip the scales where the tigers arent sellers.

Miguel Cabrera's RBI single was his 2,000th hit with the Tigers -- eighth Tiger in franchise history to reach the milestone.

With his 1st inning RBI single, Miguel Cabrera now has 2,000 hits with the Tigers, the 8th player in franchise history to reach that milestone & just the 2nd active player to have 2,000 hits with 1 team, joining Albert Pujols, who had 2,073 hits with the Cardinals. #DetroitRoots

Per Elias Sports, Cabrera is the 1st player to have 2,000 hits with a team other than the team he made his Major League debut with since David Ortiz, who had 2,079 hits with Boston.

I can see selling schoop but they really need to keep their pieces unless they think Candy is playing above his head right now.

Well the nine game losing streak is a haunt that is looking as bad as it can. The double header sweep to the Reds is an eye sore now as well. As the Tigers are showing some life as late going 7-2 in there last 9, gaining 3 series wins with all three against teams with better records than they had.
And the best news is Cabrera seems to have found his eye for the baseball. This the player the Tigers paid for. With a short season left he could/might be able to carry much off the load?
The pitching has also come to life let that kept going. Farmer seems to pitch better in one runs games. Soto has done a great closing last two games. Sometimes a team finds a closer in the pen by closer by committee. Should Joe find him self that would give Tigers three with Joe, Buck, and Soto.
Great win and sweep, sweep, sweep, see that what sweep means win three. Way to knock those twins out of first. Division imo is wide open now. And at .500 now a real change. Just don't lose 9 in a row again!

First series sweep of Minny by a Tigers team in FOUR years!!

Tigers need a LF with power, patience @ the dish and a .280/.350/.400/.840-ish slashline next year. A LH 4th OFer with good speed and defense, along with somewhat lower numbers on O would be nice too.

Detroit is only like two games out of the playoffs lol

Great sweep guys ! Had to run errands and such and couldn’t watch much of it. The kid still is struggling. Oh well maybe next time.

I agree with everything you said except that Soto really struggle in his first save situation not throwing many strikes. His 2nd was a tad better. Good thing is his stuff bailed him out with a nice double play in his first save. He needs to Throw strikes. 2 for 2 and he didn?t even pitch great. I like the committee idea.

Dunno who this "Whitman" person is that you post of.

MLB didn't base their decision to play games sans fans on politics, but science and perhaps liability concerns, else why didn't the RNC go with their original choice to find an indoor venue in Floriduh to hold their nomination shindig?

Fans can choose to be optimistic, pessimistic, or realistic about the Tigers...I usually go with the last.

I don’t know why you’re bringing politics into this - I was just saying the Governor of Michigan - I guess I misspelt the name - would’ve wanted me to stand up from my couch and cheer for the great Tiger Miguel Cabrera - why wouldn’t she?

That’s not a politics thing, that’s a Michigan thing.

And I wouldn’t have gone to the game in Detroit today anyway, even if paid attendance by the public had been an option, regarding of the science or the liability.

EDIT: Oh, and also I’m not the only one who didn’t get 100% in spelling – you spelled Florida wrong.

someone with a line of .280/.350/.400 would have an OPS of .750

 

[Mitchrapp]

Oh wait it minute here.. 350 + 400 dived by 2 x 7.5 comes to 2812.5. Divide that number by 4 and take the resulting 703.125 and add the quantifier of 27. So .730 OPS or thereabouts.
