Detroit Tigers

Tork is at least making good contact

[Whitley]

Already there have been some answers to a team that was full of questions before the season.

Riley Greene prior to his injury looks like he has taken another step.

Spencer Torkelson looks like a fixture at 1b.

Foley and Lange look like a lockdown duo at the back of the bullpen.

Rogers looks like the starting C.

[chemiclord]

They are 1-11 this month and on pace to win 60 games.

They haven't answered SHIT.

[froot loops]

Offensively they are abjectly awful, but they were better against Atlanta. In a team full of needs an innings eater on the mound is rocketing up the chart. Far too many scheduled bullpen games.

Foley didn't look like a lockdown anything on Sunday. I have never seen a guy throw any less imposing 99 MPH pitches.

Foley had one bad game. Outside of that one game.....1.32 ERA (in 27.1ip) and .99 WHIP with a 3.833 K/BB ratio. Foley is perfectly fine as the main setup guy.

Tork is really starting to show and thank goodness. We couldn’t afford to miss on that pick.

All the neighsayers on Tork need to take a chill pill. This is only his second season and don't expect the most out of him until 3 seasons. Its there. Tork just has to barrel up and get his timing right and you'll see an extra base hero and 30+ hr's. It takes a good 3 or 4 years before the power numbers are at full potential.

without a doubt and I was one of them. I think it’s just impatience as we’re not seeing anything from these bluechip prospects and we’re sick of the 10 year rebuild.

[Whitley]

Well you also have had really extraordinary guy like Julio Rodriguez, Juan Soto come up and absolutely dominate almost from jump.

That is pretty rare.

[chemiclord]

So... if I'm understanding this right, the Tigers still need:

- More bats and better hitting.
- Better defense in the field.
- Better starting pitching that can go deeper in games.
- A more stable bullpen that doesn't melt down.

But outside of those things, the Tigers are all set. That's good to know. Not like we're in Year 10 of a rebuild or anything.

Fuck patience. Start spending and start winning.

Tork has been terrible for two seasons. He is trending up this month, so don't spike the football on your own 20. He isn't even a replacement level player this season.

It's like these fellas never watched the Tigers from 2004 to 2015 or they have amnesia. It's OK to notice a couple decent happenings during a season but they still suck badly in a terrible division. They must forget how stacked the team was to wax poetic about this year. They can't go through another dog shit off-season like they just had.

Who did you want? Did you want them to spend 350 million on Judge?

You have to know where to spend before spending though. And they are a better defensive team than last year

When you need pretty much everything, you can spend anywhere.
