Ground rule Double

Thanks. The "if it isn't touched it's a hit" thing.

I hate Comerica park. There are so many mlb parks in which Spencer has a walk off homer.
Comerica center field even at 412 feet blows. . Spencer?s ball was hit at at least 400 feet.

That?s a homer in over half of baseball. Guess there is a reason we are under .500 at comerica park with zero World Series wins.

BLOW THE PARK UP AND START OVER.

Make it smaller we have more HR other teams have more HR. We might have a worse record.

So what ya do is, ya put the wall on tracks; bring the wall in when the Tigers are at bat and put it back out when the other team is up.

The first adjustable wall. I could get on board with that..

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.

The Detroit Tigers are currently 8 games under .500 (through Monday?s games) and 7 games out of 1st place. They are just 3 games out of 2nd place.

Next Tuesday is the trade deadline. The Tigers have 4 pitchers (ERod, Lorenzen, Cisnero and Shreve) on either opt out or expiring contracts. Conceivably, they could lose all 4 at the end of the year and get nothing in return if they aren?t traded.

There are also other players rumored to be of interest to other teams.

What should be the goal of this organization be as we approach the trade deadline?

Keep the top performers mentioned and work towards having the best year possible? Potentially even aiming for a wild card slot?

Or should this organization use the trade deadline to improve the roster going forward? Adding new and needed talent and depth by trading off players who are unlikely to be here next year?

One option may provide a short-term thrill. The other, short-term disappointment followed by a stronger future.

Which choice would you select?

This is today?s question to kick start some good discussion threads here ? and to take with you wherever you go during the rest of the week.

With the approaching trade deadline, which option would you pick?

1. Keep the trade candidates and try to finish the year as strong as possible.

2. Trade players and start building for the future.

Wild card spot??? :lmao: They would have to pass 6 teams to get the last WC spot. Let's assume that it will take 89 wins to get the last WC spot (current pace of Toronto). The Tigers would have to go 43-18 the rest of the way to get to 89 wins. The wild card is out of reach. They would have a much better chance at winning the division, and that is a real long shot. Right now they are +5000 to win the division. Put $20 down and win $1000


My vote, trade them all!
