CC calls it. Tigers are releasing Schoop: Tigers parting ways with veteran infielder

I wasn't sure if they were going to since they hadn't yet. But they did.

cephasjames · 07-08-2023, 12:42 PM

Bally Sports app is almost cruel. Here's the picture they used for today. The day after Schoop is DFA'd.

cephasjames · 07-08-2023, 04:57 PM

Combined no-hitter!

zappa1 · 07-08-2023, 05:17 PM

Combined no-no Oh boy. That's more like it. Right with the times.

CONN CHRIS · 07-09-2023, 04:57 AM

Of course I am in Buffalo. Of course this is one of the few games I've missed!

Tigers cut veteran outfielder, Jake Marisnick

Quote:

The Detroit Tigers designated veteran outfielder Jake Marisnick for assignment on Sunday shortly after wrapping up the first part of the season with a loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Tigers will add another position player to the roster to replace Marisnick when they open the second part of the season after the All-Star break.

Left-handed hitting infielder Nick Maton is one of the likeliest candidates to be promoted to Detroit.

Good. Does anyone want Hacking Javy?

I never understood the Javy signing.

He had half of one good year, on his salary drive.

Westheim · 07-11-2023, 01:11 PM

I was upset when the Mets made him as much as a 2-month rental. Strong defense if he can be bothered, but what a waste of a lineup spot.

(As a Jays fan) I'm a little confused about criticism of pulling Manning during the no-hitter. The guy was noticeably fatigued, struggled to get outs in the 7th - there was no chance he was going the distance. Plus isn't he just back from injury? Plus it was a close game...

Yes, the Mets thread from late 2021 was a joy in its own agonizing way. I go back and re-read it, every now and then.

CONN CHRIS · 07-15-2023, 02:07 PM

What a catch by Vierling last night.

David Watts · 07-16-2023, 06:31 PM

Anyone see how far the Mariner's catcher setup on that third strike to Baez. He was almost in the on deck circle. Crazy.

With hacking javy up there, they could plug the mascot ala Nuke LaLoosh and he'd swing.

CONN CHRIS · 07-16-2023, 06:33 PM

Great start to the second half. On the KC for four!

cephasjames · 07-17-2023, 06:59 AM

2 out 3 on the road is good. And Reese "Babyface" Olson pitched a good game. He just wasn't backed up with the bats.

Let's get past this 10 games under .500 bump, boys!

CONN CHRIS · 07-17-2023, 02:19 PM

Reese Olson sure looks like he is here for the long haul. Manning is back on the mound tonight in KC!

CONN CHRIS · 07-18-2023, 10:52 PM

Well, that was an exciting ninth. Javy should sit a game out more often. The motivation seems to throw his switch.

Tigers’ broadcast team ranks dead last in local MLB broadcaster rankings

Quote:

Impemba and Allen were generally fan favorites during their time in Detroit; they peaked on Awful Announcing’s list at 11th place in 2015...
.
In his 2019 debut on the Awful Announcing local broadcaster rankings, Shepard and Gibson, his initial full-time partner, ranked 28th of 30 teams...

This season, Matt Shepard, Craig Monroe, and the Tigers’ broadcast ranked dead-last on the rankings...

The problem is mainly with Matt Shepherd and the widespread impression that he’s just not a baseball guy, nor a very compelling broadcaster in general.

Westheim · 07-19-2023, 01:39 PM

I was gonna fire a shot at F.P. Santangelo, and how could the Tigers be last as long as he's still squawking, but turns out that he's gone for a year and a half. Hey, I can watch Gnats broadcasts now!

I don't find Shepard particularly annoying, but the supporting cast is hit-and-miss.

If only the Tigers would have given Impemba and Allen (a pair I liked) two chairs to sit on.
