OT from Chicago
Lou Piniella will retire effective immediately after today’s game. Tram is apparently not a candidate to replace him.
Wasn't he going to retire at the end of the season anyways?

I’d like to see upgrades at every possible position in the lineup and on the field, but just start with a .360 OBP. If you can get that plus some other attributes such as defensive ability and/ or some speed or power, then go another direction.

Miggy's OPS has to be getting close to
1.1. There are going to be a few votes that Hamilton won’t get.
I was reading a thing Buster Olney wrote about top MVP candidates
and he had Cabrera as the AL MVP and made a point I think should be noted: he plays half his games in a pitcher’s park and still has the numbers he does.
by kendra.michelle on Aug 22, 2010 1:52 PM EDT up reply actions
The Rangers team is batting
8 pts higher. Hamilton has more around him. If I got the vote, I would go for Miggy, but I fear that will not happen.
I wonder...
If the Tigers had made the postseason last year instead of the Twins, who would have won MVP?
Doña of the Venezuelan Mafia
by SabreRoseTiger on Aug 22, 2010 1:57 PM EDT up reply actions
I think the way it played out, Mauer still wins. A gold glove catcher with his numbers is very rare.
but Miggy was the only player to finish top ten in HR, RBI and Avg
If you survived 2003, you can get through this!
Most of Miggy's RBIs came when Maggs was raking batting 3rd.
by playoffbeard on Aug 22, 2010 1:57 PM EDT up reply actions
Which is what I'm saying. rbanner was making the statement that Hamilton has more around him.
…and to a point I agree. But his OPS would not be as high as it is without all the intentional walks from not having a real threat behind him and his RBI production has dropped since Maggs went out.

ERA shouldn't be taken seriously for relievers
A closer’s main stat is save percentage. But he’ll go 70 innings tops in a season, so he can only have so much value to the team. AJax plays every day, every inning.

MVP and ROY races
I posted this under another thread in an MVP discussion.
There is a strong contingent of MVP voters that insist that the award has to go to a player on a playoff team. The award is for the player that is “most valuable to his team”. The Tigers could miss the playoffs with or without Cabrera, but a player on a playoff team may have made the difference between them making the post season or not. It’s not a “best hitter” or “best player” award. Ernie Banks was said to be short changed because he was stuck on the Cubs his whole life.
The ROY, on the other hand, goes to the best rookie, not the most valuable to his team.
If you survived 2003, you can get through this!
Andre Dawson
was MVP on a last place team.

So, I'd be pleased by some more Tiger offence.
Aren’t we supposed to hit bullpens hard or something?

I never thought to mention this before
but I use Ajax dish soap, always have. it’s cheap and it works, and also has the best lemon scent if you ask me

It's BABiP is unsustainably high, though

tough love!
But check out AJax’s line drive pct. he leads the league at 25.8%
If he keeps that kind of line drive pct, he’ll naturally have a higher BABiP

I'm just now reading SBNation's "scouting reports" on Tigers players
Miggy’s flaws: “Can get moody and a little surly at times.”
Are there any stats gurus out there
who could break down the Tiger record this year according to games we scored first vs. games where they scored first?
From game notes
Tigers score first: 36-21
Opponent scores first: 24-42

wow, the internet is friggin amazing.
I must have missed all of those 21 games we won scoring first.
I wonder if that's about normal for any team, or a particularly correlation for the Tigers?

There are 2 reasons I continue to watch this game
1. Wee Willie Rhymes’ pursuit of a 5 hit game
2. Verlander is still pitching
3. To see Jayson Nix catch a ball in the concessions area
(that 3rd one was an audible)

I was just going to say
who does he think he is, Brandon Inge?

"concession area" ? I thought it was the camera well?
I suppose Comerica is one big concession these days

That's what Nix is going to do for his next feat

Leyland should have benched him for the rest of the season

I did not due to the 6 hr wait in line. I have a few friends that did.

Nix has decided that Don Kelly will not beat them
"It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead. The chain of destiny can only be grasped one link at a time." --Sir Winston Churchill (1874 – 1965)
It was so sad
When the Tigs were in NY and Don Kelly came up to bat, the only positive “stat” they could find to put on the scoreboard was that his sister Ashlee is a basketball coach at some midwestern college…I think that was what sparked him to hit a home run
that is a kind of cool family fact though

Would've been cool
If they put the Donbot pic up there.

This JV outing is kind of ho-hum
But in a very good way.

Miggy's OPS is 1609 at target field this year.
That’s the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while.

I love watching Justin Verlander pitch
Especially when he is on his game. :)

How does it feel, Nix?
JV nixed your chances, beeeech.

At the risk of typing this too soon--
Friends, I notice that there’s a lot of dead leaves on my deck and driveway. What should I do to clean those off?
nothing
the snow will eventually cover them up

and that will make it easier to break up the ice
Because the leaves will be a boundary between the pavement and the frozen snow. :)
