I gave it my all.

EAT IT CHICAGO!!!!

Nice job by Schoop.

You’re catching on.

I don’t think I could hit it.

Anyone else notice the ump called for the pitch count to start while he himself wasn’t ready? Dude didn’t have his own face mask on.

Giggles…..

I think the camera at the wall there vets this out. Great play.

Hat tip to Burger for the hat tip.

It isn’t glaring on the h9me uniforms. It’s nice that the normal red font for Meijers has been replaced with navy to blend in with the jersey.

Not ideal, but not time to panic either.

True, and the league is, what, 65-70% right handed pitching? So that’s the heavier side of the platoon.

Game ain’t over yet.

Nah, I gots a good feeling about this. This is just a little suspense for some fun.

Love it. He’s having a pretty good season. Striking out less, walking more, hitting the ball harder. He’s still only 24 years old, so there’s still room to grow in all aspects.

Hey, dummy, shut up and let the games play out.

I think Rogers is to be taken with a grain of salt. He’s a catcher for one, primarily a defense first catcher. Sure, he might have some pop, but I don’t think anyone considers him to much offense to begin with. And the other thing is his return to actual game action. He missed quite a bit of time as a catcher and as a hitter. I think that’s quite a bit to miss. Sure, he can remain part of the game planning while injured and working with pitchers from afar, but actively catching them is another thing. And then along those lines, how many different pitchers have the Tigers been through the past season plus? Maton is a bit of a victim of the BABIP pendulum so far. He is striking out worse than and walking better than league averages. But his BABIP is also under .200. Looks like he might be going opposite field and fly ball too much? I don’t know. Perhaps the approach is affecting the results.

Don’t look know, but his slash lines are darn near identical to Baez’. Sure, there’s the discrepancy in playing time and defense. But I bet nobody would’ve guessed the similarity unless they saw the numerals. I was certainly surprised.

Most underrated Tiger of that era?

I don’t know. Let’s say the Tigers somehow or another keep very minimal distance to the top of an awful division “race”. Schoop finds himself enough to be helpful for what the Tigers need, but there are no offers for him at the trade deadline. The combination of events probably isn’t likely. But here we are at Memorial Day within a series of .500. Who would’ve thought that likely? If your hand is up, you’re lying. Now, my inclination would still be for the future rather than 2023. But if there’s nothing compelling offered for Schoop, why not fancy a chance now? Or do you just take the best offer available regardless? I could see either side of it, but it’s a real sideways squint and without glasses on to envision such a scenario.

Its getting better lately. There might be a hot streak in him before the season is over.

It’s interesting because he’s playing OF now, too. Maybe he’s a late bloomer? Add in positional flexibility. Sounds like a possible spring training darling next March.

Fun except for when they drive us crazy. 😆

Eh…… I am from Toledo, too, and I’m not sure I’d make All Mediocre.
