Baseball is a wonderous thing. The Angels can have the worst record in the league and still be somewhat in contention for their division, while the Mets can pay $334MM to be 15 games back and essentially dead in the water before July.
@alexbryant32@the_det_times@BNightengale Well Mariners fans need something to feel good about I guess, lord knows your existence has been nothing but embarrassment and pain for 50 straight years
@the_det_times@Buster_ESPN It's June 5th. It's extremely rare for ANY team to put their pieces up for sale this early. Two months away from the deadline and Detroit 5.5 back of Wild Card and 10.5 back in the Central.
If this "news" shocks you, then you probably don't pay attention to baseball.
Fire Harris.
Fire Hinch.
Fire the entire coaching staff.
You can only cry "injuries" so much before its painfully clear we've been severely under performing for an entire month. This was supposed to be THE season to prove we can compete without Skubal in the future.
@tigers So when the fuck are we going to make ACTUAL changes before this season is truly lost? What are we doing here? Jesus fucking christ do ANYTHING other than sitting on your hands and saying "it's the way she goes".
This is pathetic. There's no fire with this entire organization.
@the_det_times With how ineffective he's been, at this point keep on the IL and let him figure out whatever it is he needs and get the next man up. Tigers are in a tail spin right now. No more beating our head against a wall and expecting different results.
@the_det_times -marred with injuries and an offense that is stalling harder than an engine laying at the bottom of a lake for over a year.
Ever since the series against Texas, they've only scored more than 4 runs in a game once. Scoring 1 or 2 runs a game will not cut it for ANY team.
@the_det_times Honestly? False.
Being a #1 seed and not making the conference finals is embarrassing, considering the last 40 years of NBA playoff history. We barely made it past Orlando in the opening round, and proceeded to go 4-1 in the last 5 games against Cleveland in the semis.
@the_det_times@kileymcd Makes absolute zero sense. This is based on the assumption that there isn't a team willing to take the risk and somehow, someway, Detroit will be the only team to give him this kind of deal, also assuming no other team sees it this way.
Skubal will take the best deal, bar none.
Is it just me, or was @DanhausenAD 's entrance using the moving sound effect from Gunbound? Am I the only one that picked up on that, or am I just the biggest nerd?
Or could it be both? I need to know
Lot of playoff series left between the Pistons and Magic, but being the 1 seed means absolutely fucking nothing if you're going to get slapped around and embarrassed by the 8 seed in the first round.
