I've been largely out of the loop for the last few years, but I'm ready to start watching and following Detroit Tigers baseball again, you guys. What are our thoughts on the upcoming season? Tell me about our hot young studs, and do we have anyone as bad at baseball as James Wiseman is at basketball?

Javy Baez was worse than Wiseman last year. But I still hold out hope he comes around.

Skubal looks absolutely filthy. We need Mize to be "decent" and we could be in good shape in the rotation.

Riley Greene, Kerry Carpenter, Tork, are all legit quality MLBers. Colt Keith is "supposed to be" in that club , we shall see. Jake Rogers is passable at catcher. Parker Meadows needs to make more contact.

Thanks, and surely we won't have the most boring broadcast team ever anymore.

Jason Benetti is a total dork but he's a pro.

Read the other day that we have the fifth ranked farm system. Couldn't believe it...

Kind of enjoying watching the team these days since I finally got access to Bally.

Taking some of the fam to the game on Sunday, fam.

Meanwhile, I can't watch anymore because of Bally!

If Tork wasn't a bust this team would push for a WC with some other young bats perking up. Oh well

And Mize and Baez. That's a whole lot of resources sunk into negative assets.

We picked a helluva game on Sunday to attend. The only one better was probably Saturday.

Glenn

Past six weeks or so have been a lot of fun, but feels like things are turning to shit again.

The 'gers are playing meaningful September baseball again.

The White Sux are going to finish with an even worse record than the 2003 team.

God is good.

Timone

I miss when baseball players had cool names. Now we've got guys named "Adley."

Vinny

White Sux.


Ha!

I failed to realize how absolutely insufferable this guy is when you have to listen to him every game. I fist-bump every time I realize Dan Dickerson has the TV booth.

Still tons better than Shep, but yeah he can be annoying & overly corny

Vinny
09-16-2024, 06:55 PM
He just kind of comes across as smug and arrogant too. Definitely better than Shep though, no question.

Glenn
09-16-2024, 09:55 PM
MY Tigers

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!

So does Glenn, but we like him.

Anyone notice how much Benetti sounds like Mario at times?

Glenn

This is fun.

yes. similar timbre. I actually quite like Dirks back there, at least vs. the rape man monroe

Dirks and Dickerson are fantastic, but I love listening to our broadcasting teams in general now. Shep and Gibson were so awful together, they turned me off from watching almost completely.

Vinny

Poor Gibby is a mess. Dirks sounds stoned half the time.

Glenn
09-19-2024, 09:49 PM
Petry got demoted for Dirks. Not sure that’s an upgrade. Dan is likable, grandfatherly. Don’t think he gets half of Benetti’s pop culture references. Decent straight man, tho.

Agreed. Petry seems to begrudgingly tolerate Benetti. He seems knowledgeable and well prepared in general. It could be a case of him not liking all the travel though (pure speculation on my part).
