  • Is Whitley actually Lynn Henning? Has anyone seen the two of them in the same room?

    • It's sad that I'm actually looking forward to the beginning of training camp for the Detroit Lions this week, and the next upcoming seasons for the Lions, Pistons, and Red Wings later this year.

      The Detroit Tigers is a toothless, punch-less, boring mess.

      • In the end, its a results oriented business....At some point, you have to win....Almost 8 years on the job, and the team has been awful the entire time.....

          To be fair, by this point in the season I'd just be throwing at a dart board and making decisions based on that. What difference would it make?

          • That is the reason I brought up Ol Scrap Iron, is that he started managing like that after his first season and people defended him because he was in a bad situation. To me poor managing is poor managing, there's this weird sentiment in this town that he's the best manager in baseball and it would be a big loss if he left. I'm not sure if those same folks have notic d the Astros seem to be doing fine with Old Man Baker.

            • Oh, I wouldn't cry a bit if Hinch was fired.

              But it's the same sort of thing as it was with Blashill. It's not like the dude forgot how to coach when he jumped from the Griffins to the Red Wings. The Wings (and the Tigers) are dogshit. It doesn't matter who you have coaching them, because they're dogshit.

              • When you look at the hitting stats, its amazing they have won as many as they have......This team is all time Tiger terrible offensively...

                • The shocking thing is this team won 77 games last year.

                  • They had a lineup the other day that damn near made me puke. This is all on Avila.

                    • Word leaked we will listen on anyone, including Skubal. Whatever. I would trade anyone at any time, so not really news to me.

                      SHIT, Juan fucking Soto is on the block.

                      • The Al Avila Plan (endorsed by the Detroit Tigers fanbase):

                        1) Watch team fail in spectacular fashion.

                        2) Sell off every player you can.

                        3) Replace players with dogshit.

                        4) Wonder why the team doesn't improve.

                        5) Repeat Step 1.

                        • The odds of getting anything useful in these selloffs are long, doing it with Avila in charge are virtually nil. Has there been any trades has he won? Maybe Candelario.

                          • Deadline selloffs by the Tigers didn't start in earnest until 1994. They had been a franchise that was good going back to the early 80s. We have probably seen about 15 true deadline selloffs. Out of all of those selloffs the best players I can remember them getting: Bonderman, Boyd, Fulmer and Candelario. Feel free to add any.

                                I had more faith when Dombrowski was in charge, not so with Avila.
