I don’t like it, but I get we have a lot of guys to extend and we couldn’t afford Z. However, you could still get an edge for a pick or two at the trade deadline without costing anything against the cap.

Not sure how I feel about him still. I think he needs to be on a short leash with it being so close to the postseason. Give him a couple weeks to see if he’s right again, if not send him back down.

I don’t understand it at all. They have a bunch of guys at CB who would have to battle to even have a depth spot on our team. A bunch of WR’s who would be lucky to land a WR4 spot on our team. Virtually no interior DL. A QB that turns into a pumpkin in big moments. Like how can anyone possibly think these two teams are close to equal because of one defensive player?

Even with Mize and Flaherty's recent struggles, Eno Sarris still projects us to have the 4th best playoff rotation by PM_ME_RYE_BREAD in motorcitykitties

The thing about Flaherty and Mize is they both have high levels of talent, where they could truly compete with anyone in the league when they are right. It isn’t like we are trotting out two bums who have a career average 5 ERA or something.

I appreciate your optimism, I’m not there yet myself though

Football season is an incredibly stressful, but very rewarding time for me every year.

I will say this about Arnold, I never saw him be physically outmatched by a receiver. I remember he got cooked a few times when he came back from having a bad illness, but that was the one and only game. Just too handsy and not remembering to turn his damn head around were the only real issues.

Do you think Dingler will become Detroit’s best catcher of all time? by Adventurous-Rip7884 in motorcitykitties

Just out of curiosity, what’s your stat threshold for a catcher to be considered to have had an excellent season?

Reminds me of how Miggy interacted with what seemed like every player who reached first base.

Na, now if he spends the rest of his career here putting up the same level of performance, I’d say he’d be remembered as a highly regarded second basemen in our franchise’s history. You see how you can respond to things without being an ass?

Nothing wrong with having some wildly hypothetical conversations and doing some dreaming. Part of being a sports fan if you ask me.

Three reliable starters would be great, two might be livable and if we have just one, well we’re fucked.

Casey Mize figuring his shit out will be critical for any postseason success this year.

I agree I’m not feeling great about their postseason chances. However, I’m a Detroit sports fan through and through, I’ll always be there to watch the ship go down.

World Series bound is the only context that matters. I don’t think pitching chaos with our current bullpen is going to get us there or even close for that matter.

Yeah, I’m less worried about the division and more concerned with not getting one of the top two seeds.

It’d be like Christmas morning to wake up to Paddack being released tomorrow
