Yes it was. On title would have been nice though.
By my count 37 games between now and the All Star break, so probably 14-23 to drop the record to 42-48. That'd mean a 48-24 second half to get to 90 wins, which is still possible but not all that likely.
See I look at it the other way. They started the year on fire at 11 - 2. Since then they are 17 - 23. 40 games of play like this is getting close to panic time. Another 3 weeks of this and we might have to call them an average baseball team.
I agree with Mac too and just talking what ifs here. Tigers are not going to give Price 210 or Cespedes 120. Just asking what is the drop dead date to try and get something in return.
Mr I paid $82mm for the team, it's worth $1 billion now(according to Forbes) and they operate at a profit. He can easily pay Price, they aren't gonna pay Cespedes because he's not worth paying.
That is a fact. Watching him a few times a year I was intrigued by Cespedes. Watching him everyday and he has lost a little luster.
Yeah one of the corner OF spots needs to be a LH bat
Gotta be patient, rushing Victor back helped create this in the first place and you could argue we rushed JV last year too. Those results speak for themselves.
:@ Melky never hitting another homer
Crosses my mind about once a week and I silently curse your name to myself:
I agree with this, I want them to win this year, but if we rush those guys back Victor is going to be hitting .200 again and Verlander maybe dead weight for the next 6 years or whatever is left on his contract.MAC_32 said:
I honestly think that decision tells us exactly where this franchise is going in the next 5-7 years. They let him go, might as well blow it up sans Miggy and JV IMO.
Good to hear about JV.jon_mx said:
He was supposed to throw 2 innings. Seems dumb to me. He is a 1 inning pitcher.
Just read that he was scheduled to throw 2 innings or 40 pitches, whichever came first. He had a walk, strikeout, single, walk, then a line drive right to the left-fielder, who threw out the runner at the plate. He came out for his 2nd inning and all 5 hitters reached base. Very discouraging.
Meaning JD going hard to second with one out and an easy fly out to right field (leading to a DP)? Yeah, that was really dumb. He looked like he'd rather crawl in a hole than head out to RF for the bottom of the inning.
