    Avila should focus most of his resources into the minor system after this offseason.

    Hahahahahahahahahahaha :cheers::tup: Sooooo sorry I posted on your forum. I won't do it again.

    Avila should focus most of his resources into the minor system after this offseason.

    I like when someone insults me repeatedly and than has the gal to call me a troll. It is especially sweet when the person says that people hate me when there are people that hate them, like, having openly said they do. Who other than you doesn't like me Rebbiv? Look, stop taking this so...

    Avila should focus most of his resources into the minor system after this offseason.

    No, it is the player that doesn't run on the catcher because the catcher's reputation ability to throw'em out at second. So let me ask you this, why do you like to assume that other people are stupid? Do you always do this with people who disagree with you?

    Avila should focus most of his resources into the minor system after this offseason.

    There are more people talking about it, the FG's piece is cited by these, that doesn't mean they are all the same thing, they represent the fact that there is some discussion of the issue by multiple people beginning with a numbers person. Appeal to the false authority of the past and the many...

    Spring Training

    Well, there is the Ausmus factor. I think 2015 would've been a slight adjustment year for Nathan and maybe a kind of bounce back year. Also, my sense was that he was on a shorter leash.

    Spring Training

    I agree, though, I don't like watching football, it began because I had other things to do on Sundays one fall so I stopped buying season tickets, then I learned stuff. Now, the above is my position. The thing is MMA and boxing aren't as big as football and do not damage nearly as many people...

    Avila should focus most of his resources into the minor system after this offseason.

    No appologize for the length, it is part of the joke. Dude, I'm just talking. And I really do not know who LKP is and don't care that much. Also, I do not doubt stats, I just doubt the all or nothing or over emphasizing of a stat. If pitch framing is a thing, which I think that it probably is...

    Avila should focus most of his resources into the minor system after this offseason.

    Sorry man, I don't buy it. A catcher's game calling is important, his handling of the staff, the perception that he can "frame" but how much that impacts the ump is up for debate (as in literally by experts right now). Throwing out base-stealers isn't just important for those caught but for...

    I think Nathan would've ended up as the setup guy and been pretty good at it. He, despite his decline, would've been one of the better relievers in the pen (the pen was bad), losing him hurt.

    Spring Training

    I don't know, I thought it was a conversation about baseball. Whatever. "You talk too much." "I am flawed in that way." Let me ask ya'll this: What does it matter if I were this LkP or whatever? If I've turned over a new leaf, does it matter? I always find this obsession over personal...

    Avila should focus most of his resources into the minor system after this offseason.

    Sorry but grain of salt taken. First, there is zero chance that McCann actually cost nearly 17 runs due to poor pitch framing (a thing that might not even actually exist), Brad Ausmus was a kind of good catcher, I'm going to go ahead and trust that if he had a player playing the position he...

    Spring Training

    Not answering my point Reb. Sure, I didn't know that no team had ever had a season without a DL stint, but anyone could easily expect that that is true without looking it up. My claim is that the Tigers had it particularly bad last year -- the rejoinder of course is that it is age related...

    Tigers, Bobby Parnell Agree To Minors Deal

    Yeah, a good move. This is the kind of move DD seemed allergic to making. Smart, low risk, high reward. With TJ, he should be coming back to form this year, he was not great but not awful last year suggesting that he could be stronger and back to his better form this year. But really this is a...

    Spring Training

    So are you saying that KC had comparable injuries to the Tigers? V-Mart was replaced by V-Mart with one knee, and also out for an extended period. The Tigers had ONE starter that pitched the whole season and he was supposedly nicked up and one of the worst starters in baseball. Price was only...

    Spring Training

    That is cool, and we shall see, but KC is widely considered a "lucky" and good team. Luck generally runs out. So, the Tigers record vs KC was 9-10, it should've been 5-14, KC should've destroyed the Tigers with starters like Lober, Ryan, limping Simon, shoulder strained Sanchez, etc., I mean...

    Spring Training

    OBVIOUSLY your question is interesting to you but CLEARLY not as interesting to me. Just cause you care don't mean that I do, but I'll reply now. They didn't do quite enough in the off season and last season they had a good year because the Tigers were absent and things often just broke their...

    Spring Training

    Nice attack by insinuation. That is like the news reporting that another news agency is reporting ______, when the first news agency was just speculating! I've never posted under any other name, and joined this forum after getting fed up with the Tigers "official" forum. Whoever folks or you...

    What is an informal web forum without a grammar Nazi? It is a forum that doesn't exist, that is what it is. You need to read:http://www.english.illinois.edu/-people-/faculty/schaffner/Williams%20Error.pdf and this...

    Lovely. Re Dale: What, it is only like two pages, that is normal for a forum post rant on the internet, right?
