Yeah, that’s quite interesting that the Tigers average 91 wins over 162 game season when Carpenter’s in the lineup. I suppose there’s all sorts of if but what however variables you could consider, but if you consider this one variable, the results are pretty outstanding.

And here is an amazing stat AI told me;

I think there is a similar stat for Parker Meadows

It definitely confirms my gut feeling. A 90 win team with a healthy Carpenter and a 65 win team with him out.

Thanks!

By the way, that was AI mode on my iPhone, but it’s probably true and it cited mlb.com as its source

Baseball is so much more fun when my favorite team wins.

Since the start of the 2024 season, the Detroit Tigers are 45-68 (.398) when Kerry Carpenter is on the Injured List (IL), compared to a far superior 156-123 (.559) when he is healthy and available

7-2 in June. Three straight series wins. +30 run differential in June.

Remember that time the Tigers hit 6 home runs in a game and lost? Yeah, me neither.

It might take a bit longer, but keeping on taking 3 out of 4 will work also.

11 more wins in a row and we’ll be at .500!

I tend to think those are related. I'd be very curious to see the Tigers' record since the start of 2024 when Carpenter is on the DL and when he is healthy. He makes a bigger difference in the lineup than he gets credit for IMO, even more than his numbers indicate.

Giving the kid a mini vacation.

yawn

you got Tork back too in the sense that he had a stretch of something like 7 for 60 in May. We actually lost 4 bats between April and May. Two were hurt (Torres, Carp), two went into deep tailspins (Tork and Keith)

And hitting RH against a RH.

Pinch hitting Short for McGonigle. Smh. #firehinch

Wenceel says “oh oh what you gonna do about me…” to run Jack

Teeing off on the position player pitcher is exactly what I’d expect McKinstry and Perez to do. lol.

Always good to get to the right conclusion - eventually.
