Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2017 Thread

[Iffster]

Breathe through your eyelids Lebourt.

Well, there may be some suspense afterall for this season. CAN THE TIGERS WIN 5 MORE GAMES TO AVOID A 100 LOSS SEASON? There are 25 games to go. They might need a rainout or two that they can't make up.

Seriously, the Tigers might as well finish dead last in the MLB for the next two seasons and get a couple of #1 draft picks. 95 losses, 100 losses, 110 losses ... makes no difference. The team is absolutely unwatchable either way.

I intend to watch them with an eye on the future.

It would all depend on the talent pool for prospects the next two years. Next year's is looking like an all time class.

With 100 loses....Detroit could get one of the top 3 picks. That Avila! The guy is a genius.

 

[Iffster]

JD Martinez...4 homers in one game. My bet is - no Tiger gets 4 homers - total - for the rest of the season.

That's the most fun I've had watching the Tigers bat all year.


Vargas couldn't sneak anything by those boys.

I've been waiting to use this ... I may not get too many chances

Vargas has a career ERA vs. Detroit of about 8.00...and it went up.

Chiefs WIN

Chiefs WIN

More importantly, my fantasy opponent had the combo of Brady/Gronk and got minimal points. Dodged a bullet there!

I had the Brady/Gronk combination going ... one man's win is another man's loss.

About 20 more games and then we will begin to see what the Tiger front office's plans are to change this mess of a team. This off season will be interesting - but frustrating as well.

I don't expect much changes roster wise during the offseason.

A new coaching staff will be brought in. But that isn't going to have any meaningful impact.
