TigsTown WTKA Podcast: Injuries Hamper But Bright Spots on the Farm. 15 minutes.

Paul Wezner joins Sam Webb on the Michigan Insider to talk about the Tigers recent slide, including Ron Gardenhire's comments about effort and the injury issues, along with updates on a few hitters and how they are looking down on the farm, 9 minute mark.

Topics covered;
Ron Gardenhire hasn't been happy with the team's effort - how much is that contributing to the team's struggles.

What went wrong with Jeimer Candelario and can he find success.

How bad are the injuries hampering the big league club and will they get some of these guys back.

The numbers aren't great, but how are Daz Cameron, Kody Clemens and Parker Meadows doing down on the farm.

Bless You Boys Tigers Blog Podcast #46: It?s alright ma, the Tigers are only bleeding. 77 minutes.
The editorial staff looks at the week in baseball news from a Tigers perspective.

We?re back, but boy it?s hard to talk about the Detroit Tigers right now without cursing and yelling. We knew the chance of a true meltdown of a season was far from zero, but it?s hard to look it in the face. It?s also not too much fun to talk about in the middle of a long losing streak. Things won?t stay quite bleak, but for the moment, we decided to just take questions because all our topic ideas were depressing anyway.

The Tigers have perfected losing, and even Matt Boyd has been showing some cracks in his last two outings.

Are the Tigers options to fill out their final two starting spots as bad as they seem?

We explore how close Casey Mize is to a call-up (not close), and whether the Tigers are handling his workload well.

Thank goodness for Mize and Matt Manning, because Franklin Perez and most of the Tigers top pitching prospects are hurt and the Tigers aren?t saying much of anything about them.

JaCoby Jones isn?t going to get the Jeimer Candelario treatment after this many opportunities.

We discuss the non-pitching prospects, and who may yet make their MLB debut this year.

Briefly we consider whether Isaac Paredes, Daz Cameron, Jake Rogers or Willi Castro has it in them to be plus offensive players in the majors.

Niko Goodrum appears to have turned back into a pumpkin, but there is still hope for him.
 
Over 54 innings in 2019, #Tigers Matt Manning is rocking an FIP of 1.76 and an 0.83 WHIP with 11.3 strikeouts per nine innings.

An analysis of Tigers' drafts since 2005.
BYBTB

+ Overall the data suggests that the Tigers front office has no idea what they're doing when it comes to the draft. It's time for a complete flush of the front office starting with Avila and going all the way down. Gardenhire should stay as he's exceeding the PYTHAG! by a lot, but damn, it'd be nice if he had some talent to work with -- something that Avila and Chadd seem unable to procure for him, at least through the draft, trades, international free agents, regular free agents, etc., and it's only a rumor that they've been offering rum and cigars to Jobu.

+ Man the Tigers SUCK at drafting.

+ FIRE AVILA

+ There's a YUGE market opportunity if you sell anti-depressants in the south side of Chicago, Philadelphia, and Detroit.

+ At least we aren't the White Sox

+ Dan Dickerson is a National Treasure
