The Tigers are a legacy team in this city. They healed the city in 1968 and gave hope in 1984. Then, you had some damn good teams in 1987, 2006, and 2012. This city loves this franchise because of its historical significance to it. A lot of season ticket holders are corporate guys who often give away their seats to family or friends. So, it sells whether an ass is in the seat or not.CurlyHoward wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 11:51 am Cabrera would be doing the team a favor if he retired, now that he's hit his career milestones he's not even an attendance draw anymore.
But hey, I wouldn't walk away from $30 million either.
The Tigers outdraw Cleveland by 5000 fans a game even though Cleveland is fighting for 1st place. Good job giving Chris Illitch your hard earned money for this bad, boring team everybody!

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Re: Detroit Tigers 2022
If the Tigers were smart, they’d approach Miggy, ask him to retire but stay on the team to be the hitting coach. Pay him his remaining salary much like the Yankees did with A-Roid when he became a special consultant with the team. Miggy is hobbling currently and his knees are not doing him any favors. Additionally, Miggy doesn’t like being the center of attention so he could transition out of playing easily.CurlyHoward wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 11:51 am Cabrera would be doing the team a favor if he retired, now that he's hit his career milestones he's not even an attendance draw anymore.

Just when you think it can't get any worse, the opposing team strikes out three times and then scores six runs.

It's been that kind of year. I think they'd/we'd be fortunate to get through September without blowing out another young arm.Bobbert wrote: ↑Thu Aug 18, 2022 12:32 pm Just when you think it can't get any worse, the opposing team strikes out three times and then scores six runs.

I doubt the team would do it without Miggy making the first move, it'd be a PR nightmare. He'll get his "farewell tour" of the league next season.Realist wrote:If the Tigers were smart, they’d approach Miggy, ask him to retire but stay on the team to be the hitting coach.

Re: Detroit Tigers 2022
Interesting stat pointed out in today's Freep:
Oh, what could've been with players who hit their weight.Saturday 8/20 Freep story wrote:The Tigers (45-76), losers in 21 of 29 games since July 21, recorded their four hits (all singles) in the first, third, fifth and ninth innings. Over that same 29-game span, Tigers starters lead the American League - and rank third in MLB - with a 3.09 ERA.

Re: Detroit Tigers 2022
Yep, I was excited that the Braves picked him up. The bonus of having a left handed bat off the bench with some pop looms large in the playoffs.

Organizations like the Braves and Dodgers pluck guys off the scrap heap and turn them into useful pieces.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 2:07 pm The Tigers' player development/ sport science capabilities are pure trash.
Just read Robbie Grossman's recent comments (and look at his outstanding performance at the plate since being traded to the Braves) for proof.
Meanwhile the Tigers pay formerly good players like Javy Baez megabucks and turn them to shit.

Re: Detroit Tigers 2022
The Tigers must go 12-18 or better the rest of the way to avoid a 100 loss season. Good luck to them.

Re: Detroit Tigers 2022
It was a big disappointment. They need the following to compete next year: a new GM, a new hitting coach, new pitching coach, new conditioning coach, closer, a good DH bat, a new SS, a new 2B, two new starting pitchers, and a new commentator for radio. Other than that, they are great.Rate This wrote: ↑Fri Sep 02, 2022 11:24 pmYikes.

Re: Detroit Tigers 2022
I'd honestly like to see the tigers relocate or become a minor league team.

I still love the franchise, unlike Matt who hates America's game altogether.
