Yea, I like Sandy though
If he didn’t have to put up with the contracts and the money situation, I think he can turn them around if he survives through all that
HUGE mess.
The law suit against their owners is for more than $ 1 billion, there are additional charges coming from the Court appointed trustee (just the fact that their assets are held by a trustee). MLBTR reports today that they’re thinking of giving up on Oliver Perez (ya think?) and they’re worried about K Rod’s $ 17.5 million option vesting if he finishes 55 games this season……
I think it’s safe to say that the award for most bad contracts has passed to the Mets. Sandy Alderson is asking himself “what did I just step in?”

speaking of away jerseys ...
does anyone know where I can get a Tigers’ away jersey in youth sizes. I have looked online exhaustively. Nothing. Do they sell these at the stadiums in Lakeland or Detroit, anyone who has gone?

Was their supposed to be a link there? I have tried many many websites and can only find adult sizes – even for customization.
I will try calling Comerica, once the season starts, but I was hoping to get something for Opening Day

ESPN is talking about Cabrera

And Valentine doesn’t know what he’s talking about- no matter what he’s talking about.

but there is no question that RR starts the season out there, and BB is fighting just to stay on the roster as of now.

He just made a reference to Rhymes not being that good defensively.

It's hard to over state the obvious....
that he can’t sustain the high BABIP
However, that high line drive percentage is no fluke and he should maintain a high BABIP just because of that. To maintain a solid OBP, he’ll have to convert some K’s to hits or BB’s. It’s more a matter of what NOT to swing at.
I don't care what the Chinese say, 2011 is the Year of the Tiger!
Maybe he'll get a veteran strike zone instead of a rookie zone

Worth should have run on contact
I always wonder what LaMont is doing in those situations.
BB put the ball in play. If the runner has a decent lead, he’s off. Make them make a play, rather than take your chances with the next hitter- odds are against scoring later.
I don't care what the Chinese say, 2011 is the Year of the Tiger!
Espcially with the bobble at 1st
He probably would have scored fairly easily on that play.
However, with it being spring I can kinda see not doing anything in that situation since there is a slightly higher chance of getting hurt on a bang bang play at the plate.
that's what I was thinking
hate to see an injury in that situation
Rooting for Tiger stripes, not pinstripes
by JerseyTigerFan on Mar 3, 2011 2:56 PM EST up reply actions
I think you play it like you would during the season.
The question is whether you have the runner move on contact. Are the odds better running on contact on a ball hit in the infield, or scoring later with two outs? I say go, and I also say that LaMont is a human stop sign. But that’s just me :)
I don't care what the Chinese say, 2011 is the Year of the Tiger!
I agree to a point
In the regular season you might charge the catcher, but in spring that is considered bad form. There has to be a point where you say “OK, these games don’t mean anything lets not take the risk of hurting anyone”.
About LaMont…yeah he would have had him standing there regardless….unless of course it was Maggs.z
Valenting picks the Black Sox

Okay, Brendan Wise looks familiar
And I don’t mean like I don’t know him, because I’ve actually met him before. It’s like the Chipper Jones thing. He’s reminding me of someone else, and I can’t figure it out.

ahaha
the announcers just said that kenny rogers helped the tigers win a world championship. i think their memories are shot
also, RHYMES!
I Like Pie
Haha, I missed the first part of that conversation and wasn't sure who they were talking about
I thought they were talking about the guy who walked with the bases loaded going to the Tigers and winning a World Series.

First time on BYB mobile
And it’s a good time, to boot!
Rhymes can really put himself ahead of Worth in the 2B competition here

I'm gradally changing my mind about Boesch
I kinda think that it would be hard for JL to pass him up, even if he’s not starting in LF, if he hits well enough this spring. I mean, how do you keep a Donnie Kelly and a Wells or Cletus if Boesch is hitting? The combination of Santiago, Rhymes, Kelly, and Wells or Thomas isn’t very enticing. BB gives another solid bat if he’s even a fraction of what he did when he was hitting last year.

Refresh my memory
Do they play extras? I seem to recall playing a 10th and then leaving it a tie. Am I making that up?

Generally that's what happens, but sometimes they'll call it after nine

Not really. It's about the players getting their work in.

Hey, it's Wilkin Ramirez
He always struck me as a likeable person.

Has Wilkin learned to hit a curve ball yet?

Uhhhh...last I checked, Will Rhymes WAS known for his defense

Depends who's doing the knowing
And to whom he is being compared
In my book, he’s pretty average, right there with Sizemore
I don't care what the Chinese say, 2011 is the Year of the Tiger!
What the he'll?!
Does anyone want the 2B job?

Wilkin beats out an infield grounder, moves to second on Rhymes error, and scores on a single to RF
