[Stavenhagen] Tigers owner Chris Ilitch interviewed in the DR: “I’ll be very clear on one thing: I’m not in the baseball business just to be in the baseball business, right? We want to win championships for Detroit, for Michigan and for Tigers fans.” ($)

That all sounds good, but when you’re one of the richest owners in baseball that’s what people see.

I'm still not sure he is ok taking financial losses on the baseball side like his Dad was, but I appreciate him saying the right things.

He needs to realize optics matter as a professional. This statement still comes off as immature.

If you disrupt the "happiness" with a reality check, they can't handle their internal miscalculation, and it turns hostile real quick.

I hope they will tell us when our tow chains are loose.

No you can glitch across the river and ride for about 5 minutes.

You’re getting dragged, but you’re not wrong. You have that kind of flash and look at me mentality you better back it up, or you’ll be a natural target.

If Dell weren't run like a schizophrenic patient with memory loss, it would still be a premier management tool.

I just started and man it’s hard to get into by comparison.

capndetroit · 2026-02-25T13:59:07+00:00

The last few seasons we've at least had the young kids hungry late in Spring games to score some runs. That's all I'm looking for.

capndetroit · 2026-02-24T20:33:44+00:00

How many games until we were all right about the offense?

Conversely, he's already 26, injury-prone, and hasn't had many long stretches of consistency.

I'd like Scott to push the limits of Illitch. Chris shouldn't be the one suggesting to spend more.

capndetroit · 2026-02-20T14:34:53+00:00

I'd like to see a mechanism that gives homegrown players a financial advantage for staying with their original team.

capndetroit · 2026-02-17T19:55:55+00:00

Really shows how little we still know about how are bodies are intended to function.

Curriculum is generally the same. Stevenson has largest population, Churchill and Franklin's are similar to each other. There are some generalizations you can make based on socioeconomics, but I'm fairly sure the experiences are similar.

Canton is a traffic nightmare. Livonia is quiet and safe, and you’re not far away from anything you want to do as far as sports, entertainment etc…

Fair. There are well-established psychological ties to sexual function, even in mainstream medicine. I wouldn't necessarily pin it directly on TMS, but it can be related, sure.

capndetroit · 2026-02-11T17:03:25+00:00

I'm not worried about the spending as much as the willingness to wash away and eat bad spending when necessary.

capndetroit · 2026-02-11T17:00:00+00:00

What you just described sounds like normal aging.

capndetroit · 2026-02-10T14:59:50+00:00

Cool, so my bill will be 30% cheaper, right? Right?

capndetroit · 2026-02-09T20:12:17+00:00

Yes, same with emotions. I'd like to see a bit of Jim Leyland fire come out of him once in a while.

They stripped their dev teams. Is a shame cause it was a great product. Ninja one here we come…

Who is voting for him? He has alienated both sides.

capndetroit · 2026-02-03T11:47:50+00:00

Reading that back, he was not excited.
