Thursday day game. Lots of kids there because they're off from school. As fans, it's ridiculously disappointing. Could he have gotten the hit earlier? Yeah. I'm sure there were scoring decisions during the previous 2999 hits as well.
The FANS in person on a sunny day game were let down by Boone not pitching to Miggy. Even trying to pitch around him would have shown some brass.
I'm mad as a fan of the sport. My kids are off too, and tuned in on this as well. Sure you can watch it on YouTube in a few days whenever he gets it. Not quite the same.
I'm done here. I apologize for caring. I'm certainly not a Boone fan, but we'll see what gets said by him, Miggy, MLB Network etc.
Weird hill to die on

1 run game, 1B was open, a lefty was on the mound, and a lefty was on deck. The move makes perfect baseball sense. Cabrera should’ve just gotten a hit earlier in the game lmao.
What happened after the IBB makes your argument pointless. For the sake of respect Miggy should've been allowed to try for a hit. Besides there were two outs anyway and he'd already struck out twice. It's called sportsmanship.
Sportsmanship are you serious ---its called you're a Manager of Major League Team you do what's best for your team - you're making it sound like that was his last at bat for the season. I know Detroit doesn't have much to look forward to but seriously it was the right move.
"Right" move or not, it was a [expletive] move and the world knows it, except you apparently.
Ha. The world knows it? Even the majority of the people in this thread doesn't agree with it.
This thread and forum is a small sample size compared to the millions of baseball fans out there.
So you speak for the millions of baseball fans out there, which none of us here are.
That's good to know because I thought you were just an overly disappointed Tigers fan
Lol. You must be overanalyzing what I said. I never said I speak for all the baseball fans out there, I was merely pointing out that this forum is a fraction of the baseball community and the majority opinion of the forum may or may not necessarily reflect the same opinion of the forum.
It's called statistics.
-
Disagree with this... the manager did exactly what he should have done to give his team the best chance to win. Sportsmanship is one thing, but it's not giving the opposing team a better chance at beating you. It's not like it was the last game of the year... he has all year to get his hit.

Why should Boone care about what Tigers fans think? Why should anyone other than the Tigers care what Tigers fans think? If you actually were a fan of the sport, you’d applaud Boone for making the correct managerial call and not pandering to fans and going against the best interests of his team.
Why would I applaud Boone for the IBB? I tuned in to see a hit, not a walk.
How'd that walk work out? Good decision? You are arguing for the sake of arguing.
Fans are allowed to choose who or what to root for. Enjoy congratulating Boone on his IBB. I'm disappointed that I didn't get to watch a 3000th hit live on TV.
Because it was the correct decision LMFAO
The odds were in favor of Meadows not getting a hit against a lefty, but the odds in baseball are never zero. Just because the unlikely outcome happened, doesn’t mean the decision was incorrect. You can be as much of an emotional crybaby as you want, but the odds, statistics, and situation back up the decision to walk Cabrera.

Uhh no he shouldn’t be allowed. Are you serious? He’s not above the sport. Yankees were trying to make a baseball move and win the game. That’s like saying an NFL team should punt the ball back to Tom Brady so he can have a chance to at a TD pass milestone. You must be apart of the participation trophy era.
I am not. Are you trying to be a troll by saying that? Cute. I'm not saying it was illegal for Boone to do that, but it was terrible of him to do that. By the way an entire stadium in Detroit disagrees with you.
Yeah I’m sure Detroit fans loved it lol. They play to win, I’m the troll? You seriously think the Yankees should have pitched to him just because he was going for 3000.

Tigers haven't been relevant since Kevin Costner decided to hang it up for the love of the game. Enjoy one more day of people tuning in

All these goons telling me what a good baseball decision today was. Haha. Let's play a pull shift on Jeter with a RHP on the mound and runner on second. Somebody understood the assignment in Baltimore.

These are the same opponents messaging me to throw strikes lmao

Who cares?…It’s April. Like I could get the outrage if it was the last game of the season but…It’s April. He has like 150 games left to do it! So he has to wait till tomorrow, So what?

Last Tigers WS appearance was 2012.
Last Yankees WS appearance? 2009.
I'll wait for the 27 pennant comment though.
I have the stones to admit I tuned in to watch Miggy get his hit. I have two sons and we all play MLB the Show across 3 platforms. We're watching the game live cause it would be nice to see a 3000th hit as a group. Oh well. Sorry for caring about seeing it today.

The assignment of sending Jeter off in style yes. You forgot the 86 mph "Changeup" right down the pipe too lol

Who do you guys think would win in a fight? A Tiger or a Yankee?

You know what's funny. "Yankees suck" chants were cool in the 90s and early 00s.
When a team hasn't won a WS in a while, it's not as fun to hate them.
I love the fact as a 6th grade teacher in CT, my entire class wasn't born the last time the Yankees won!
They still love their ancient history - bragging about the 27 rings (0 in their lifetime).

Miggy can try to hit it next game, Boone is not paid to help Miggy reach milestones.

This reminds me. When I was a kid my dad took me to a number of Cardinals games in a row so that I could see Brock break the single season SB record. The managers of the first few games we went to must have sucked because they did not just let him get on base and get that record breaking steal.

Shame on Aaron Boone. What a coward and a trash manager. Intentionally walking Miggy on his last chance of the game to get hit #3,000. There were two outs anyway but you had to be a piece of (expletive), didn't you Boone?
Glad we taught you that karma is an (expletive). Tigers win 3-0. I hope we Tigers fans give you grief for this for the rest of the season.
YANKEES SUCK. YANKEES SUCK. YANKEES SUCK.
Absolutely the worst take a person can have. Do you even know how baseball works? Runners at 2nd and 3rd, 2 outs, lefty on the bump vs righty at the plate. Walk the bases loaded to put the force at every bag. The call didn’t work out but it was the right call. It seems like you should be mad at Miggy instead of Aaron Boone. Miggy had 3 chances to get 1 hit….he didn’t do it. If he would have had one extra hit during this entire career he would have already had 3000. Even Miguel Cabrera said it was the right call. Not to mention it was a mid April game and the Tigers have 150+ games left to play. How long has it been since Detroit has won the Central/ALCS/World Series? The Tigers barely avoided a sweep and you’re out here talking about how Karma is a fickle witch.
