Another bonus to games moving faster is some of these long winded broadcasters can't ramble on and on! Remember Hawk Harrelson of the White Sox? Omg that guy was so annoying with his boring stories and he'd always tell them when the opposition was hitting (Tigers).

Tigers are in trouble. Casey Mize out, now Manning out (hopefully not too long), and not scoring runs. While I'm not for always blaming managers, I think it might be time for A.J. Hinch to go. Where's Alan Trammell?



I was never excited about hinch especially when he refused to put garret cole in the last game of the world series against the nationals because analytics, that move likely cost him another ring then his involvement with the cheating crap. Trammel is one of my all time favorite players but I am afraid he is too old school and would look like tony larusa did last couple years. As for this whole season we were already doomed when we traded away the one thing we had sorted out (bullpen) for a sack of used jock straps. I hope eqduardo and javier walk next year and harris finds some decent replacements, I am still bitter they passed on Marcelo Mayer in the draft, we needed a SS and he was the best guy on the board.
I hated to see the bullpen go too. I agree a SS is needed but I guess they figure Baez has several years left and is a star despite disappointment so far. I'm not a fan of his personality and would love to see a farm hand come up soon and take his spot so he could be traded in his final year if not sooner. Trammell is old school but I think has the ability to really bring a team together and teach the fundamentals. I really admired him for what a quality guy he always was. Never had an agent; just came in and signed his new contract after a ten minute discussion. A real class act along with such a solid player for so many years that made me so happy to be a Tigers fan.

Killing the Tigers right now is not having at least one big bat in the lineup.
