It's time for them to start paying off

There's never any guarantees with prospects, but at least there's reasons to be hopeful. I hope the Tigers prospects pan out.

Great duel between Burnes and Berrios tonight

C.B. Bucknor got hit in the throat by a foul ball and then the Brewers trainer attending him collapsed. Scary shit.

3 issues - Detroit in 1st place in the Central, Royals in 1st place in the Central and the thread says 2019 instead of 2014.

Indians finally decided to pick up their bats. Probably will be the same as last year, go off one game-don’t hit for 4 straight. Royals might sweep em if their bats stay hot.

Rumor has it if anyone starts playing well this season Dolan will have them traded. Wish there was a way the league could get that jackass to sell the team.

Hoping they set a minimum cap, Dolan might come to an end as owner if that were to happen lol

Something needs to be done. Not sure what can be done though. Nothing more frustrating than an asshole owner who doesn't care about winning.

Seriously, can someone start and stick a new thread?

The Twins showed Detroit how first place they are today.

Funny stat, Akil Baddoo was in the Twins organization (before being claimed by the Tigers in the Rule 5 Draft) and he hit a meaningless grand slam in the 9th inning to cut the lead to 15-6. All 3 players on base were also former Twins. I wonder if that has ever happened before.

Tigers started 5 former Twins yesterday....

Grossman, Schoop, Ramos, Goodrum and Baddoo. Was pretty crazy when I noticed that at the beginning of yesterdays game.

That's gotta be awkward as a division rival. At least when the A's were loaded with former Red Sox (Lester, Crisp, Reddick, Lowrie, Moss) they're in a totally different division.

Why have replay on HR’s if they can’t get the call right? Wow, I’m surprised they messed that one up. You could tell it hit the top of the fence then obviously hit the post bc of the trajectory. Brutal

Are we sure Logan Allen isn't just Jon Lester with a fake beard?
