It sucks but had to be done. Hope we can deal Fulmer in the winter
Why would you deal Fulmer?It sucks but had to be done. Hope we can deal Fulmer in the winter
Because this team has no realistic shot of contending for the next 3-5 years so you might as well get something for him nowWhy would you deal Fulmer?
They have him under control for like 5 more years. I don't think I would trade him yet. Unless they get a really great deal.Because this team has no realistic shot of contending for the next 3-5 years so you might as well get something for him now
Didn't you see what controllable, cost effective commodities got in return last off season? White Sox changed the trade game. Tigers would be foolish not to explore following suit.Why would you deal Fulmer?
Yeah, if they died 3 months earlier and just had the funeral today.Today feels like a funeral.
It wasn't because the news from earlier in the day was from a bogus twitter account. Also had him going to the Dodgers. So...This is a cold take.
Just busting your chops, GB. Sucks to see you guys blowing things up.It wasn't because the news from earlier in the day was from a bogus twitter account. Also had him going to the Dodgers. So...
No wonder this team stinks.Yeah, if they died 3 months earlier and just had the funeral today.
if he keeps pitching like he is those arbitration years are going to get pretty pricey. I'm not saying you just dumped him but if you can get a package of a level prospects I think you do it. by the time we're ready to contend he'll be facing free agency and a 20-30 million dollar a year contractThey have him under control for like 5 more years. I don't think I would trade him yet. Unless they get a really great deal.
Once you get past the mourning stage you'll probably be touting Perez pretty hard.What Avila did yesterday was pretty unprecedented. You rarely see premium players moved after the trade deadline, but he moved JUP and JV on the last possible day, and in JV's case, the last possible minute. I'm just happy JV wasn't a salary dump, had he done that I would have no hope for the immediate future. But getting three good prospects back and not having to pay $40 million or something stupid was a net win, regardless of how the prospects work out. The farm system is in good shape, especially with arms.
Well it's a terrible ####### team with the worst bullpen in baseball. We just learning this now in September?Pitches in game:
Tigers 217
Indians 111
Rooting for a JV vs Max WS myself.How many ex- Tigers will have a chance to play in this years World series?
Verlander-Maybin, Robbie Ray-JD, Wilson-Avila, Max, Rajah,Porcello,Price, Miller missing anyone?
Pretty shocking that the Tigers were swept in a 3 games series starting Max, JV and Price.Rooting for a JV vs Max WS myself.
Almost as bad as losing a WS to the damn GiantsPretty shocking that the Tigers were swept in a 3 games series starting Max, JV and Price.
Can't forget Fister.How many ex- Tigers will have a chance to play in this years World series?

You can play that game with a lot of teams. Doesn't mean that whole would be the sum of its parts or its $300 million dollar salary.Da Guru said:How many ex- Tigers will have a chance to play in this years World series?

That one bothers me the least. 2013 they were the best team in baseball, they should have ran roughshod over the Red Sox but didn't. 2006 their team was just hot and played the team who ended up having the worst record of any World Series champ ever. That series came down to a couple of plays they didn't make, they could have easily won in five games. 2014 they were good too, somehow got swept by the ####### Orioles.Dan Lambskin said:Almost as bad as losing a WS to the damn Giants
No, pretty sure we can forget that entire group sans Knebel.jon_mx said:Can't forget Fister.
And Rodney, Knebel, Perez and AJ.
Oh come on. Just admit you love Fister. And he did give the Yankees a thorough fistering last week.No, pretty sure we can forget that entire group sans Knebel.
Still think if Max went one more inning instead of saying he was done it would have been a different series. JV would have never said he was out of gas.That one bothers me the least. 2013 they were the best team in baseball, they should have ran roughshod over the Red Sox but didn't. 2006 their team was just hot and played the team who ended up having the worst record of any World Series champ ever.

I swear to God I thought about the exact same thing last week.Still think if Max went one more inning instead of saying he was done it would have been a different series. JV would have never said he was out of gas.
Max was still hitting 95-96 and was a much better option than Veras. Finish the dam inning and then say you are done.I swear to God I thought about the exact same thing last week.
Fister probably a top 10 Tiger for me these last 11 years.Oh come on. Just admit you love Fister. And he did give the Yankees a thorough fistering last week.
Why did the Astros pull him after 6? Seems like he was having a good outing.Anyone else watching JV's first start with Houston?
Tigers should be good again by 2020, need to get a committee together to bring him back.
Yeah but his last pitch was 99 mph!Why did the Astros pull him after 6? Seems like he was having a good outing.
I thought he was bad, I'm confused.Yeah but his last pitch was 99 mph!
For some reason many players just seem to play better on other city's teams. Some blame the coaching or the stadium, but I blame the Losing Lions aura wafting over from the always visible Ford Field.You can play that game with a lot of teams.

two words. Joba ChamberlainThat one bothers me the least. 2013 they were the best team in baseball, they should have ran roughshod over the Red Sox but didn't. 2006 their team was just hot and played the team who ended up having the worst record of any World Series champ ever.

I always felt like he just knew when he was done, he didn't want to hurt the team and trusted other guys to come into and do their jobs. It is odd how we love the guy that fights to stay in, but don't love the guy that thinks he is out of gas and is going to hurt the team by staying in to long.Max was still hitting 95-96 and was a much better option than Veras. Finish the dam inning and then say you are done.
Always felt than Max wanted out of games without getting the loss. Even with the Nats he never fought to stay in the game after he gave up that HR in the playoffs even thought he was dominate. Leaving when the game was tied he was off the hook for a loss.
One word:. Soriatwo words. Joba Chamberlain
