2013 'Bankrupt Ain't Gun Stop Us-But Jimmay WILL' Detroit Tigers Thread...

[tipyerbartender1]

Ahh, the old wind tunnel theory. And all weekend I thought they just had crappier pitching than Texas.

 

[STEED]

Wind tunnel lol

 

[orangemonk]

Doesnt Coke have like a 10.00 ERA lol

Bc Leyland is an idiot and let's him pitch against righties

 

[tipyerbartender1]

You guys have to admit, once a Detroit starter exits, all bets are off. That bullpen is awful.

 

[HUNT]

No doubt tip. If its the 6th innning and someone's pc is over or near 100 I'm sweatin. Especially on the road.

Nah steed I think u guys are legit. No jinx either.

 

[HUNT]

Tigers get desperate in July I can see them dealing Porcello or high level minor league guy for relief pitching. I'm with guys that want relief help.

I like Al, smyly, benoit sometimes. Coke is strictly for lefties.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Who the fuck would want Porcello?

 

[HUNT]

Sinkerball, ground ball pitcher..fit in the NL much better imo. But boy when that sinker is off against a power team its lights out.

He's only 22 I believe.

 

[orangemonk]

tigers have nothing in the minors to deal except castellanos. nobody wants casey crosby

dont think one tiger fan disputes that

it was in direct rebuttal to the humidity and wind blowing out today in cleveland excuse for kazmir. kazmir....hahaha

 

[tipyerbartender1]

I can accept that. It's just Kazmir.

 

[HUNT]

Quite a few outfield prospects omonk. Always trade prospects for proven players anyways imo.

John Smoltz for Doyle Alexander was an exception rather than the rule.

 

[orangemonk]

Who, Garcia? You don't trade a top 10 prospect for a season of a reliever.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

I'm just glad you guys are nervous.

 

[HUNT]

Vazquez, Moya, Collins. Few dudes down there. Tuiassasopo, Garcia, Dirks. I'm talking a prime seller at trade deadline. Dump prospects, get some solid relievers, maybe a closer.

I am tip. I believe in the Indians unlike last year. Good coaching changes the whole culture.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

I'll buy the Indians, Hunt, but I think it's 99% new players and 1% Tito.

 

[HUNT]

Chemistry and coaching.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

You do realize that last year's opening day left fielder was Shelley Duncan, last year's opening day 1B was Casey Kotchman, last year's opening day 3B was Jack Hanahan, and last year's opening day DH was Travis Hafner? Bullpen was also less fortified. Tito wouldn't have won with that team either, amazing what Acta squeezed out of that bunch.

 

[JumpOnBoard]

I'll buy the Indians, Hunt, but I think it's 99% new players and 1% Tito.

Drew Stubbs can turn any mediocre team into a contender.

 

[HUNT]

I know its a new team tip. What I meant was new players...solid players I might add are meshing well together with a good coaching staff who has a winning culture.

Kind of like Leyland when he first started in Detroit before the payroll went thru the roof.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Stubbs has been pretty good. Effortless outfield play and good production in the 9 hole. That trade is a landslide in Cleveland's favor, considering they weren't going to sign Choo. Albers, Shaw, Stubbs and Bauer. Antonetti earned his stripes this past winter. Aviles and Yan Gomes for Esmil Rogers, that didn't suck either.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Hunt, I will concede that bringing Tito in may have drawn some free agents. Not sure Swisher, Bourn or Reynolds would have come to play for Sandy Alomar.

lol I think the Reds are OK with their end and his .473 OBP in the 1 hole.

 

[JumpOnBoard]

Didi looks promising for zona too....maybe it worked out for everyone involved

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Some trades work out both ways. Choo seemed a fan favorite on my visit to Cincy. That was not the guy we had in 2011-2012, he had something rattling around upstairs.

maybe cincy police realize who he is and treat him as such...those troopers in CLE? Rat bastards.

 

[YesSir]

#rolltribe...cant wait to beat Verlander's ass again

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Other than a breather against the Yankees, bit of a gauntlet over the next month or so ...

[HUNT]

Yankees a breather?

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Yeah, they're not scary. When they get those old goats back, they'll be even less scary.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Don't like that 2-and-2 back-to-back home-away with Cincy in the middle of the week, that's sort of unprecedented. Used to like the three here, three there, both series on weekends.

 

[HUNT]

Yankees are solid. At home too.

yea....basically battle of ohio is dead it appears....maybe the I-71 World Series will liven that back up

 

[tipyerbartender1]

The I-71 Series has crossed my mind in recent days, I'd be in 7th heaven. Would attend every game. OK, even I have to say I'm getting ahead of myself here. Go Kluber.

 

[B.A.R.]

Thread being overran...imagine if Dana were still alive.

 

[JumpOnBoard]

We can talk about the Woodward Dream Cruise if that would make you feel better @Bar.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Dana will be back when they lose.

 

[STEED]

Stubbs sucks btw

 

[tipyerbartender1]

I've always liked Stubbs.

 

[STEED]

I like his speed and athleticism but the fucker needs a better OB% than .300 to maximize any way he can help.

 

[STEED]

And id rather have Choo.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Don't get caught up in the numbers. Stubbs or Duncan?

 

[STEED]

Lmao

Drew

 

[STEED]

Numbs aren't everything ya but He doesn't bring a ton to the table IMO.

 

[STEED]

Guess he's still young.

 

[STEED]

I'd also take a pack of Big League Chew over Shelley though too.

 

[STEED]

Strawberry fwiw

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Wouldn't take that trade back. Choo and his agent had big eyes. We get Bauer. Bullpen's fortified. Stubbs is a better defensive player.

 

[STEED]

Disagree with Stubbs being a better defensive player. Big time.
That being said I wouldn't undo the trade either tho.
