doubly true if ABS increases average scoring.

Breaking down Daniss

Indeed it is! I saw an article in which Ernie Harrell was asked how he as a broadcaster can stay engaged while calling games when not only a team’s chances to win the division was loooooong gone, but they were mired firmly in last place, and he replied that you simply have to look at each game as a discrete event, one that’s the most important thing in the world right now, and you treat it as that in the moment. That makes so much sense to me, and remembering that helps keep me engaged with the team when things are going rough overall.

I don’t think bunts could ever get back to what it was in 1978. That was a hangover year in the AL from both the pitchers’ era (low scoring) and from pitchers have recently batted (terrible hitters), so managers were still conditioned to sacrifice outs for a single run.

Tigers put their update out Friday afternoons. It will probably say he had successful surgery Thursday and is completing rehab daily.

Does this include extra inning attempts with the placed runner on second?

There is/was maybe also a bit of over-simplicification going on with the application of the run probabilities. The average run probability applies to the average hitter(s) coming up next in the line-up. Half of hitters are below average. Logic would argue that there is some cross-over point where the you are still better of bunting if the hitter(s) to follow at the plate has a lower than average probability of doing anything productive (e.g. high K rate) but can be taught to put down a bunt with decent reliability.

If we get there this is what we are up against. SMDH............

We will learn pretty quickly whether it's a lie ...

The news so nice they had to say it twice!

22. Tigers: Aiden Ruiz, SS, The Stony Brook (N.Y.) School (No. 38) Ruiz is the best defender in the Draft -- he pushed Emerson to third base on the U.S. 18-and-under national team at the World Cup -- and also offers bat-to-ball skills from both sides of the plate, albeit with questionable power https://www.mlb.com/tigers/news/mlb-pipeline-2026-mock-draft-may-7?t=mlb-draft-coverage

Today is a new start...Win this game... I'm glad we have our current ACE pitching today.

LOL dumbasses. Reminds me of borrowing money from China to pay soybean farmers to not sell to China, per slumps first reign Imagine bragging about voting for this garbage juice

Win dummies.

harden is due for one of those games where he goes off and gets 40+.

Guess things are going great in the war w/Europe over Ukraine.

Guess our nat security team has its eye on the ball. By which I mean they definitely do not.

Putting the ball in play puts pressure on defenses. And I heard the Rays theory is many teams don't practice defending bunts. IDK how much they teach infielders these days, with many players being rushed to MLB. Also, bringing infielder ln to defend them creates holes for more hits. I like the concept, putting balls in play makes for more action.

I want to believe the report because I predicted Skubal would be back by July 1st. 😁

Night of the Dull Knives coming soon?
