Miguel Cabrera was jawing with the White Sox before his second AB last night.

Miguel Cabrera had words with Chicago infielders last night after they accused baserunners of peeking in to see the sign.

Here is what he said today:

"It was the second baseman because he tried to tell the catcher and the pitcher we passed the sign. I mean, come on, that's some bullshit, I don?t play that game."

Miggy continued: "You need to (show) respect. You don't need to show up me or the runner on second, trying to say we're passing the sign from second. Come on. Get the fuck out of here."

Translation: Miguel Cabrera is the clubhouse leader. No more questions that he isn?t.

Miggy, sign stealing? 'I don't play that game'.

Last year, the starting rotation for the Detroit Tigers had MLB's worst ERA at 6.37 ERA. This year? 3.73 so far which ranks the Tigers at #8.
Part of the improvement is that SPs are pitching deeper into games.
 
Tonight's game postponed (weather) to be made up tomorrow evening as part of a 7 innings each double-header (or what now passes for them).



First game 5:10 pm start.

With his two hits Tuesday, Cabrera needs just one more to tie Babe Ruth for 45th all-time with 2,873.

?I don?t ever really think of that, but it?s really cool to be next to Baby Ruth,? Cabrera said. ?I mean, that?s awesome. Never in my life was I thinking I would get that many hits. I?ve been blessed. I thank God every day for the opportunity. I never take this for granted.?

The home run pulled him within 11 of the 500 milestone and he needs four more to catch Lou Gehrig and Fred McGriff. He needs one more double to tie Robin Yount for 21st all-time (583).

?These names are big,? Tigers manager AJ Hinch said. ?It?s almost intimidating to think about all you have to do just to get in position to do those things. These are names that are attached to the whole legacy of the sport.?

Hinch said Cabrera?s milestone climb is giving him a chance to give history lessons to some of the younger players.

?He?s going to catch Robin Yount in doubles ? I don?t know if our players know how good Robin Yount was in his day,? Hinch said. ?We are going to cherish these names as they come across the board and we?re going to tell guys like Akil (Baddoo) and Candy (Jeimer Candelario), who is way into what Miggy is doing, and educate them on some of these names.

WOULD YOU RATHER ?.?
TOTALLY TIGERS

Have you ever played the game Would You Rather?..?
You?re given 2 choices. There is a dilemma to be solved and you must determine which side of the coin you prefer. Your mission? You must choose only one.

Each week, we will offer you a new choice to consider. Please vote on your selection, explain your decision should you desire and then come back throughout the day to see where other fans stand. At the end of the day, check to see which option won.
Let?s kick this off!

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver advised MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred to stop talking about pace of play within the game of baseball because it is the one sport that offers fans the opportunity to place in-game bets between innings and pitches. What?s more important to you?

Would you rather?.?

1. Manfred continue making strides to advance pace of play.

2. Manfred should consider these initiatives that take advantage of the current pace of play.

Detroit Tigers: Could Justin Verlander Make a Return To Detroit In 2022?

I highly doubt that JV would return as a Tiger to end his HoF career in Detroit, as he and his agent would likely be seeking a 3 year contract averaging mid-20 million per year minimum. No way would Chris Ilitch be willing to shell out that much for one pitcher, even given his enduring popularity with most Tigers fans.

nor should he. It would be stupid...3 year $60M for a 39 year old pitcher coming off Tommy John???

What they might want, and what they settle for could be far apart, given the current state of MLB.




I would guess that Verlander will probably wind up signing a one year IP incentivized contract to remain with the Astros next year maxing out somewhere in the low-mid teens.

The Tigers have appointed OF Derek Hill as the 27th man for today?s doubleheader. He will be active for both games.
