Tigers mulling unique hybrid roles for right-handers Faedo, Brieske and Englert for '24. garbage idea especially englert.

The Tigers have announced the following roster moves:
*LHP Bennett Sousa was claimed off waivers by Houston.
*RHP Blair Calvo cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple A Toledo.
The Tigers 40-man roster is now at 39.

Miguel Cabrera, hitting .301 since May 30, is making a late climb up MLB's all-time hits leaderboard in his final season, recently passing George Brett.
Next up: Adri?n Beltr?.
"Oh, I don't know," Cabrera said. "Let me see. I hope I can pass him."
Miggy going out like the gangster hitter he always was, even on one knee, bat to ball and brain as good as ever.

Tigers fans, how would you feel about this starting rotation next year:
1. Eduardo Rodriguez
2. Tarik Skubal
3. Matt Manning
4. Reese Olson
5. Casey Mize
Do you think this staff is good enough to compete for the division in 2024?
A season typically needs about 825 IP minimum from SP..one of those pitchers has thrown 150+ inning in his career the other 4..not once.
how badly do the Tigers want to win..because by just adding Casey Mize..to a 72 win team..where is that taking you?

I think it has become clear Harris is tanking and just not saying he's tanking. which seems as they say counter intuitive to how AJ Hinch is managing.
I just keep asking myself how long Hinch will put up with being provided an inferior roster of AAAA players.

By my information, Tigers have done for the second time this season. Tigers starters are the winners of three games started in a row, with E rod, Olson, and today, Skubal. Matching no hit, E Rod and Boyd. Btw ML no hit is 3-1 with Philly.

Justyn-Henry Malloy just collected his 100th walk in 546 plate appearances last night for the Mud Hens.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Justyn-Henry Malloy just collected his 100th walk in 546 plate appearances last night for the Mud Hens.

Having OBP 138 points higher than batting average is huge.

 

[gotime909]

Justyn-Henry Malloy just collected his 100th walk in 546 plate appearances last night for the Mud Hens.

He also hit another homer. 4 straight games

Spencer Torkelson among players age 24 or younger this season:
- 3rd in HR (25). Between Soto and J-Rod
- 6th in RBI (72). Between Vlad Jr. and Tatis

40 HR's next season doesn't feel out of the question. Only four players did that last season: Judge, Schwarber, Alonso, Trout.

We?ve gone from he?s a bust send him to TOL to 40 jacks in 2024.
