Opening Day 2022

[Sbee]

anyone watching? Giolito just painting corers, Eduardo struggling with the strike zone

Baez with 2 of his 200 strikeouts this season. Hated him on the Cubs, going to be a tough time getting me to jump on his bandwagon now.

I certainly wasn't a fan of his either. He could change my mind if he hits 35 HRs and plays stellar D

flawed player with a few tools that are pretty special. he also made a jaw dropping play at SS.

I hope he has two great seasons with the tigers and opts out after 23

For me Baez just has to be better than the last guys we've had, 200k's or not, and it shouldn't be that hard. Goodrum batted .214 and Short was at .140 or some crap like that. And Baez is a better defender.

IMO he has to be much better than those guys because of the contract the Tigers gave him. He's the 5th highest paid SS in MLB. His production needs to be top 10 at the position.

Hi Everyone.

I meant to post about Game threads last night or this morning.

It would be great for the Tigers forum and fans/posters if any of you would post the Game Threads. I have been doing these for a number of years and I am honestly having difficulty stretching myself any more than I do here.

There are several of you that follow the games and Your help just to post with the Game number, date, and Tigers Lineup would be very much appreciated.

Doesn't work that way unfortunately, the pre arbitration guys get paid less but are more productive, Bo Bichette, Tim Anderson, Tatis, all of those guys are top shortstops and make less than 10m combined due to service time

Tatis signed a 340m deal.

Tatis signed a 340m deal.

right, but getting paid 5.5 this year.

Hard to believe they pull Giolito after 4 when the pitch count was in good shape

I'm certainly glad they did :clap:

 

[Sbee]

LaRussa is looking hip with those transitions lenses

Not really. Opening day. Cold weather. 3-0 lead. The overall pussification of pitchers......not that surprising.

 

[tomdalton22]

Miggy hits into a double play with a runner on 3rd but the Tigers are on the board

3-1 sox

 

[Sbee]

lots of fans in the stands don't understand the rule
