2025 Detroit Tigers: We sure do love bargain bin pitchers! - Page 56

Any of y'all have insight as to why Sam Menzin stepped down today? He was the driving force behind modernizing the entire Detroit system, even when Avila was trying to stop him. Interesting timing to leave because if he wanted a GM job, I assumed he would've stayed as an AGM until season's end.

Just what's been posted at Blessyouboys. Zero chance for advancement with Harris' guy in the GM slot. Maybe he has a lead on a lateral move into another organization with better upward opportunities.

It appears that Kenta Maeda may not even be an effective mop up guy any longer.

Yes I did. Has been a crazy sports weekend. Home opener Friday afternoon followed by the wings game at night. Then the DCFC match yesterday.

Great!

Am I crazy or did the Monday and Tuesday games against the Yankees get changed to day games today? I could have sworn I didn't see any day games (well, from 1 to 3pm ET anyway) when i checked the MLB schedule yesterday.

From their social media:

Due to forecasted evening wind chills in the 20s and other weather considerations, scheduled first pitch times for Tigers vs. Yankees games at Comerica Park have been adjusted from 6:40 p.m. to 3:10 p.m. on Monday, and 1:10 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thx.

Still not crazy. Still not crazy. Don't listen to the voice. You're not crazy.

Such a nice win. That 10 pitch AB McKinstry had that led to a walk was clutch.

That was great. The way the whole lineup ground out that 9th inning was fun to watch.

CONN CHRIS · 04-07-2025, 11:54 AM

Tough stretch against the Yankees. I am hoping for a 1-2 split.

CONN CHRIS · 04-07-2025, 03:20 PM

Mize managed to whistle past the Judge graveyard once. Unfortunately, we'll see him again.

A 2-out RBI single when he was the tying run probably counts as a moral W for the Tigers then.

Actually, it was door number 3:

Nice win though, and nobody froze to death!

CONN CHRIS · 04-07-2025, 05:41 PM

Whew, that was unexpected. With a win in hand and Skubal / Flaherty throwing the next two, my expectation of one win looks like a low bar!
