In the time between the World Series and Spring training, target good and expensive HITTERS, and buy their services. Never trade starting pitchers for hitters, unless you know your guy is just lucky, and the other guy is better. Why trade for maybes, or shoulda beens? The organization is the worst. Like the a hole who was moving Seahawks out of town. He was so bad, he never got another job. Like Mark McGwires brother at SEA QB.. POOOOF... gone

Whatever. But with Rivas, Locklear, and Bliss just about ready to go, we may not need a lot of outside help next year.

You could be wrong or you could be right. I've been watching the shit show since there was a team called the Pilots. When you get to your 7th decade of life, you figure out that "NEXT YEAR" is a balm for losers.

None of those guys are projecting to be everyday starters... Relying on those guys (especially in this pitching window) is not much more than hoping to win the lottery to pay your bills next year.

Great game plan by the Tigers. Making tons of contact. They aren't even that good lol but compared the Ms they are.

Why some of you get so spun up over what Criizilla thinks/says about the M’s is beyond me…he’s allowed to have an opinion on the team and coaching. It’s his opinion, who cares if you disagree? To each their own, good Lord just ignore it if it bothers you so much.

It’s a message board, no one has to agree with you, but he’s not wrong IN MY OPINION on some of his views. No i’m not a mod Or the thread police…just relax and try to have fun, if not that’s ok too, whatever

Discussion is the entire purpose of the board. Someone of the "worst offense in baseball, worst manager in baseball" persuasion when the team is above .500, or looking to find something wrong in a near-shutout sweep of the 2024 Mets, can be reasonably expected to get some elbow-jabbing, as long as certain lines aren't crossed.

Don't worry, I won't keep at this forever. Only so much I can do.

I wasn’t singling you out at all, we’re all fans here at the end of the day…almost 50 years now of suffering and here we all are. At the end of the day we do have that in common lol

Was in Detroit for work so attended the game last night. Here are the positives: nice ballpark, bars were open after the game, found a great dive bar with wings. That's about it.

7 games is nothing in baseball. The Tigers have owned the Ms this year head to head.
Guess who's had hits the last couple days...

Yes it was the right call getting him in games ASAP

Although it looks like he may have tweaked it a bit on that single. 🙏

Julio with 2 hits tonight and an RBI in a 2 - 0 game. You needed that bat ready tonight. Thanks Scott.
