If you don’t love this guy after this interview, you hate butterflies and a cool breeze on a hot summer day. You hate waking up to the smell of bacon. You hate Christmas morning hot toddies. You hate the Godfather 1 & 2.

I think we’re going to need a bit of improvement if we have a shot at the playoffs.

Good thing this game mattered about -5000%.

On Bally. First 3 batters hit. Up 1-0 @ Devil Rays

(Which would suck going north for spring ball)

Game ends 9-9. Today. Only watched a bit. Weather looked great.

New annoucer guy on bs+. I'm liking him. Funny.

by AvgMSUJoe 2024-03-07, 19:02

Oh my, he and Carlos Pena just went on about Moneyball, pretty funny stuff. This might be a fun season.

OK, I have to admit that I haven't been to the old ball park since maybe 2018, but you're telling me a 24 year-old stadium is run down?

The Tigers are fixing up run-down Comerica Park ahead of Opening Day with $30M investment

Well, this is welcome news for anyone who’s visited Comerica Park in recent years — the Detroit Tigers have reportedly invested nearly $30 million in renovations to the dilapidated stadium ahead of Opening Day.

According to Crain’s Detroit Business, “Fans will notice big changes at the stadium when the team returns to town April 5, including a massive new videoboard, new TVs throughout the concourse and audio enhancements.”

Over the summer, Metro Times columnist Joe Lapointe reported on the sorry state of the Ilitch-owned Comerica Park during a recent visit, documenting glitched-out TVs, speakers that don’t work, unusable drinking fountains, frozen clocks, a closed carousel, and empty seats. The stadium first opened in 2000, nearly a quarter-century ago.

by **DWags** 2024-03-14, 12:56

Last year there was some chipped cement on the steps some of the seats in various places had cup holders broken off. Etc. to me, I’ll compare it to the idiots that don’t do basic maintenance every week or month to their car and then have to pay a crap load of money to get something fixed I don’t think the tigers and Illich were willing to do basic maintenance every year.

This rule might piss some people off. I’m absolutely positive. It’s going to have an effect on games. It’s gonna be hard to break that habit of blocking the plate.

I haven't kept up with the rule changes, but what did the fielder do wrong there? There was nothing in that video that was unsafe other than throwing a hard baseball. Are they going to get rid of that next?

He had his foot in front of the bag plus it was considered partially blocking the bag when the runner was sliding.

I suppose it makes sense, the runner could have just barreled through the fielder if he wanted, busted that ankle.

I get why they’re doing it. Us old folks remember when Pete Rose ran a catcher over in an all star game.

by **DWags** 2024-03-28, 17:54

I got to say, for the first time in a couple of years I don’t have to turn the sound off on the TV.

We can use another run right now

I reserve the right to adjust up or down as the season progresses.

I just look back at last season and they had one losing streak that was like 9 games I think. They split that and they’re a .500 team a year ago.

Don’t they take on the 0-3 Mets next before coming home? I know we have 159 games to go but there is reason to be optimistic.

I know where you’re going here and I don’t disagree. But I think people are to hard on Monroe. He keeps it simple. Doesn’t try to dazzle you with creative takes. Can’t think of the gal that does national games for ESPN but she’s horrible. Tries to dazzle you with hot takes and does way to much breaking down of a simple ground ball to second. Monroe keeps it simple. Sure he’s kinda “baseball for idiots” but he doesn’t ruin a broadcast.

Side note. Watched a Marlins preseason game. Rod Allen is still good.

by AvgMSUJoe 2024-03-31, 21:23

I dont mind Cmo. Are they switching up the color guy like past year? This guy with Gibby might be something...

Meh even for being a baseball guy his baseball takes are bad

by AvgMSUJoe 2024-04-01, 21:40

I guess paying closer attention, cmo isnt good. The other guy cracks me up though.
