Goodrum is becoming my favorite Tiger though the position is still somewhat open.

I really like him a lot too. Way better than donkelly and Raburn.

CONN CHRIS · 04-06-2019, 07:12 PM

They can always find another donkelly. :-)

Nice victory again today but loosing Moore for a bit will be costly.

cephasjames · 04-07-2019, 03:35 PM

These boys are fun to follow right now.

CONN CHRIS · 04-07-2019, 03:38 PM

Playing like that they sure are. Good starting job today, great defense, Hicks gunning out two (including Hamilton!).

I wonder how long Moore will be out with that knee.

Hrycaj · 04-07-2019, 04:22 PM

Pitching and defense will win you a lot of games. As for Moore, the guy on the radio was saying that per Gardenhire they can go two routes, surgery or possible rehab. The surgery route is looking like 6 to 8 weeks while if it can be rehabbed about 2 to 3 weeks. I hope it can be rehabbed because he has shown something thought the spring and his first 2 starts. I don't trust Norris at all. They keep shoving him out there though. Can't say the team hasn't given him every opportunity to succeed.

CONN CHRIS · 04-09-2019, 12:32 PM

Facing Kluber today - we'll get a glimpse of what they really have. At best, I think all we can hope for this season is flashes of what's to come from this team. Always hopeful for more though!

CONN CHRIS · 04-09-2019, 03:44 PM

Welp. That's why there are 162 of these things.

CONN CHRIS · 04-09-2019, 03:45 PM

Grainer showed a little arm today though.

CONN CHRIS · 04-10-2019, 05:06 PM

Boyd, Goodrum, the non-closer - wow!

CONN CHRIS · 04-14-2019, 05:34 PM

17 LOB over two games with the Twinkies - not good.

Stewart doubled in a run late and had a great AB in the ninth to work a walk to load the bases. Really going to enjoy watching him develop.

cephasjames · 04-15-2019, 02:37 PM

Their poor offense bites them when their pitching isn't stellar.

CONN CHRIS · 04-17-2019, 08:28 PM

Word today is that Moore is done for the season. ugh

Poor guy can't stay healthy.

CONN CHRIS · 04-18-2019, 03:44 PM

The bats are in gear but oh those errors! sigh, come on boys.

CONN CHRIS · 04-27-2019, 12:25 PM

Hit 72 homeruns and still lose! Go bullpen.

Ty Cobb · 05-01-2019, 11:51 AM

...but I'd still rather have a guy that's old and willing to give it all than a young whiner who doesn't hustle on defense.

Cobbiusto · 05-01-2019, 12:35 PM

I think the pitching has been a pleasant surprise overall so far. The defense has not been bad either considering injuries and the bouncing around from spot to spot that many are doing. The thing that kills me is all the strikeouts. How many games have they had 10+ K's? You are not going to be successful if over 1/3 of your outs you don't even get the ball in play. I'm not sure Jones is ever going to be a major league player.

CONN CHRIS · 05-11-2019, 02:30 PM

It has been amusing watching the guy that handles their facebook account struggle to say something upbeat after a loss. It has to be a tough job but I think he or she has thrown in the towel. The last two post game posts were "We did not win today's game' and "Today wasn't our day." :-)

Glad that Stewart is back in the lineup, I enjoy watching him. Hope he pans out to be a consistant contributor at this level.
