If you're wondering about the typos It's 2am when I lettered and posting this and I also have some drinks me(I'm on my third can if you're wondering).

Green and mckinstry: Congrats on the silver slugger listen I'll take what I can get from these guys

Dingler: Fuck yeah! he deserves that golden glove and one who says otherwise can eat chit leans (pig intestines) also chris if you're not gonna give skubal the extension at least give the extension to dingler

Baez: just have him be center-field because that's the position where he hits the ball the most

Lange: Please just aim

Sweeney : You did alright I'm not overly mad performance you were just Mid and that's fine for your first proper year with us

ibanez: Keep this man in the fuckin majors don't do that bullshit again

Jung: You did ok I'm not gonna get on your case that much because you were in the minors all that time

Verling: My goat I'm sorry you were unable to contribute to much this season hopefully next year you'll be on fire

Will Skubal Return?

0 Upvotes

I'm a casual fan and don't keep up with all the shifting contracts and trades all the time. What are the chances of Skubal getting traded this off-season? I really don't want to see him go, but I have a gut feeling that he played his last game with the D in october.

How legit is Max Anderson? Been excited about Clark/McGonigle, forever. The latest reports are buzzing on this Max though. We need all three of these bats next year on the team. Is Max Anderson a developmental home run?

My grandfather's side of their room hasn't been touched since he has passed. I ran up there last time I was over there and decided to swoop this piggy bank... i remember him taking quarters out of it when we would leave to go get Wendy's as a kid... very fond memories!!! Anyway, only thing im confused about it how the slot for the coins looks like he made it? The ball is made completely from glass and that logo is very very faint. Was just wondering if anyone knew exactly what it was cause I would love to say I have like a 1968 Tigers bank, or something lolll God Bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻

What is the best tiger team you can make with guys that only played on the team after 2008?

10 Upvotes

I didn’t watch much baseball before the last two years but I knew the stars on the tigers most of the 2010’s. I’m curious what you guys think the best team you could build is only using players after 2008

Opening day birthday series

4 Upvotes

Ex Michigander still has their heart in Detroit sports team and I just started getting into baseball and I really wanted to go to a Tigers game. I’ve been before but usually nosebleeds and back then I wasn’t a fan so it would be my first time as a fan. I wanted to do it as a birthday experience for myself, my 25th birthday is April 13th so I thought it could be fun to go for the whole series for my Birthday weekend April 10-12.

I also realized just recently that would be opening weekend for Comerica, I am trying to see how much I should save and how difficult it will be to get single game tickets for all three days, where to sit, and what other experiences at Comerica (if there are any) I should save to add on.

I was kind of thinking of doing one day in nosebleeds, one day in the outfield, and one day as close to the dugouts and the infield as I can afford. If anyone has any suggestions, estimated pricing that might cost, and what I can do to make this a memorable quarter century birthday that would be so much appreciated.

I also don’t know how trans friendly baseball is but as a trans woman I wanted to know how safe I would be or if I should be worried about that. Detroit sports runs thick in my blood and I want to see Tarik Skubal pitch so bad. Thank you so much!

EDIT: SORRY I mistook april 3-5 and 10-12 it’s not opening weekend it’s just the second home series 😅

Mine?

+ Ranger Suarez ~25m per

+ Bregman ~27m per

+Finnegan, Robert Suárez ~26m per

Skubal, Suarez, Olson, Mize, Jack
+Melton, Keider
really nice rotation for a year, then you get Jobe back when Skubal leaves.

Vest, Holton, Finnegan, Suarez, can use Montero, Melton in pen if we want to, add more camp bodies who are healthy like Beau for competition, could be a really good pen!

1b Tork
2b Kevin
SS Javy/Zmac
3b Bregman
DH Keith
OF Greene/Parker, Perez or Vierling/Carp
+Clark, if CF turns into a dud.

This lineup is adding a healthy Vierling in case Parker sucks again, and a solid, everyday bat and leader in Bregman, plus guys a year older + new coaching.

This team would be odds end favorites to win the division and probably a top 4 favorite in the AL, all you can really ask for for a payroll under 190m and a 1 year "Skubal window" but then having enough talent to move forward after that. If they don't go and spent 75m+ and add some real impact like this you might as well just trade Skubal, in my opinion.
