Whatever...Tigers lost and Hinch is totally blameless. Better?

I think I'd rather see McKinstry in the OF than Perez. Wenceel reminds me of Raburn a little bit in that there is no lack of athletic talent but he just botches too high a proportion of plays just out of the blue. It would also be nice if Riley could figure out a way throw from the OF. If wasn't a factor today but he has to be one of the worst OF arms in the AL. Do I recall there is some injury history there that makes that a lost cause maybe?

I don't think there is any kind of decision to do so, but they are getting more immediate feedback and my guess is that is having an effect on those umpires who used to be more liberal calling strikes to the outside - where I think the 'worst' strikes called out of the zone have usually been.

I am glad the Tigers focued on fudamentals in Spring training. It is really paying off.

So starters should only come out after the get knocked around? Relievers should keep pitching until they get knocked around? This game is on Finnegan, full stop!

That’s the problem. People didn’t like Terry McAulife or Biden because they were boring.

This is frustrating

Colt Keith will hit a homer by July 1st.

Strikeouts are about the same as last year so far. They are down from 2018-2024.

Why take Montero out? Why take Holton out? An old theory is you keep using pitchers, eventually one will give it up. And....they did.

I guess we can debate if there is a cost in defensive precision for moving guys around a lot, I think there is at least some, or we could just bemoan the fact that the tigers have some guys who are not great defenders no matter where or how many places they play.

Listened to this game during my breakfast in Taipei. 8th and 9th innings made me throw up my congee and thousand-year egg.

Hinch made Finnegan crap the bed?

I remember the good old days when outfielders could actually throw home.

They wasted so much bandwidth for Zach Short lol...truly desperate times. The defense is an abomination.

Good job, Hinch. This loss is on our manager. The smartest man in the room syndrome .

I would think that all else being equal, a increase in walks would increase scoring, of course. Are strikeouts down? I’m surprised that batters would necessarily be the ones to use the challenge system to their advantage relative to pitchers. And I’m also surprised that umpires would call the zone differently to the batter’s benefit now that challenges are a threat. I guess we will see.

Sloppy losers.

Zach Short signed for his defensive reliability......

Disgusting loss. Send Wenceel to Toledo for that

That sucked.

BOOOOOOO

wrong ball one to challenge.

should have challenged ball one......

Nice comeback for Hurter there.
