Game 35 - Tigers vs. Orioles - May 13, 7:05 PM, Camden Yards
Batting average is almost garbage altogether. OPS is the best measure of a hitter. Remember when Deivi Cruz led our team in batting average in 2000 with a .302 or something like that? Whatever it was, he was still by no means helpful on offense for us. I'd rather have a guy that hits .230 but...- Doak37

Stan Van Gundy New coach and president
Wouldn't mind replacing Monroe with a SF who can shoot and rebound. We could use a stretch 4, and while I hated seeing Smith jack up threes as a SF, I might be open to seeing him doing it as a PF. Monroe is a terrible defender, and he has zero range as a shooter. As bad a signing as Josh Smith...- Doak37

Pistons Pursuing Stan Van Gundy
I'd be thrilled to have Stan Van Gundy here running things. He's a winner and we've had a lot of slouches here for the past 5 seasons. The only player on our roster that I like and fully believe to be instrumental in winning is Andre Drummond (jury's still out on KCP). SVG would have his work...- Doak37

Red Wings acquire David Legwand
I like Legwand's game a whole lot, and he has looked very nice as a Wing so far, but this was not a great trade for us. Regardless of what happens with Jarnkrok (goes to Sweden, stays, fails, succeeds), not only did we give up him, but we also gave up a 2nd or 3rd round pick for a 33 year old...- Doak37

Wings 2 Oilers 1 shootout Final
We won a game that we were expected to win, so that's at least a good thing. I've gotta admit though, this game shouldn't have been so close. I hate to nitpick, but if we're to make the playoffs, this game should have been decided in regulation by 2 goals. The Oilers are crap, and if we have...- Doak37

Tigers 8th in loyal fanbase
I can agree with 8th. We had a really lousy 15-year stretch into the mid 00's but since then, we've rebounded nicely. I graduated high school in '03. My classmates gave me a lot of shit about being such a big Tiger fan all through high school but within a few years after, a majority of those...- Doak37

Team HR and SB facts
LOL yeah, maybe not as good as I remembered. But the SB/CS ratio doesn't change the way I remember him for knowing when to stretch a single into a double, or a double into a triple. He was a very good baserunner.- Doak37

Team HR and SB facts
Bobby Higginson was a very good baserunner in that way. I mean not by speed, but more with fundamentals.- Doak37

Team HR and SB facts
I had to google AJs stats to see your point, and I see that his percentage has fallen off the last couple of years. For the amount of speed he has, he should have a much higher success rate. His first two seasons (combined 49 SB against 11 CS) were solid enough, but in 2012 and 2013 (combined 20...- Doak37

Team HR and SB facts
I'm all for anything that puts a runner closer to home plate. Every steal puts a runner in scoring position. As long as we're not getting thrown out at a high percentage, it's a positive.- Doak37

Way back machine: Doug Brocail
Yeah Mitch, it's nice to see Ausmus back again. He should do really well. This upcoming season oughta be a lot of fun given all the change (I liked all of it besides the Fister trade).- Doak37

Rumor: AJax for Gardner?!?!?
Austin Jackson is that player who is just right on the line where it makes sense to defend him at times and temper other people's expectations at other times. Also, I've been a huge advocate of us trading for Gardner in year's past because his skill-set was what I thought the Tigers needed...- Doak37

Way back machine: Doug Brocail
I remember Brocail, and I remember when we traded him. I remember in 9th grade sitting with a couple of buddies and weighing out the pros and cons of getting Meluskey, Holt, and Cedeno but giving up Ausmus, Brocail, and Nelson Cruz (who I think had some kind of no-runs-given-up streak or...- Doak37

Tigers aren't getting Choo, okay already?
Bad contracts are bad contracts. There's no use throwing a ridiculous amount of money/length at a free agent who's on the wrong of 30. These types of players have already played their best ball, and we'd be crippling our future success if we were to bite on this. I say no to Choo unless the deal...- Doak37
