    He has a 0.1 WAR on only 4 plate appearances? Where was that grading curve when I was talking tests?

    Whew, our national nightmare is over. For now.

    What a completely miserable series.

    https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/john-wockenfuss/ I read this yesterday. Interesting read. To me, the article paints him as someone that always had a chip on his shoulder, and maybe had higher aspirations for himself than his talent showed. Then again, he managed to play in 12 MLB seasons with that attitude despite being a 42nd round pick, so maybe it worked for him more than it didn't? OK, well, at least maybe he was realistic about his speed.

    Well, the ability to know so much more is there. I guess it depends on what/how information clubs use. Interleague play is a good point. I had forgotten about that.

    Or when he gets popped for..... nah, that wouldn't happen.

    San Francisco Giants (60-61) at Detroit Tigers (47-76)

    Is the new league/division thing still a thing? Back in the day of separate leagues with distinct umpire rosters and their strike zones, sure. Back in the day with less player movement, sure. Back in the day with more written scouting reports rather than readily available video, sure. I would think adjusting to a new city/team/clubhouse is still a bit of a challenge for some players, especially mid season. But I suspect the on field stuff should be a bit easier than in the past. Or I could be way off, I don’t know.

    The league adjusted and pitched to him like he was Ted Williams.

    A 42nd round pick that hit .262/.349/.432 for an OPS+ of 115 for 200 PAs per season over a dozen seasons, some of those logging a couple of hundred innings behind the plate? Not bad.

    Wasn't Coolbaugh the "hitting" coach last season when Grossman had a career season?

    Two for the price of one to end the game. Eat it, LA.

    Wockenfuss has a quality signature on that picture.

    There’s no argument to be made regarding the handling of the pitching staff. I don’t know what to make of the injuries, but holy moley, what they’ve done with the pitching staff this season would make MacGyver jealous. Given what they’ve accomplished there, maybe they’ve got enough of a grasp of that end to where a capable GM comes in and can move a few arms for MLB ready bats. It’s probably a tall task this off-season given some of the injuries. But some of the arms are young enough, maybe there’s a chance to get a bat or two there, and they can go the free agency route for another bat or two.

    All good points. But let’s focus on team handball. Damnit, that’s good stuff. The Olympics need to show that more often. When everything was shut down for COVID, someone was broadcasting some 2019 European tournaments, both mens and womens. That’s a fun sport to watch.

    They are a bit of a trip hazard. But since the Tigers are rarely on base to trip over them,…. ah, never mind.

    Hat tip to Ward on that throw. I think it was a good risk to tag. It took a perfect throw to get Greene there.

    Can’t spell victory without Victor.

    Riley Greene with another sprawling diving catch in CF, this one to save a run and end the inning. Ho hum.

    Baez with a 4 pitch walk? Somebody, check the earth’s axis.
  22. casimir
    448 feet? That’s past the tomato plants in Tiger Stadium.

    In my best Rod Allen…. oh my goodness, Riley Greene, did you?

    I forget exactly what the DH rule is for two way players. But scanning through box scores, it looks like Ohtani has remained as DH even when pulled early as a SP. I guess I also didn’t realize that he hasn’t not played OF at all this season. Strictly P and/or DH.
  25. casimir
    This sound reasonable. Add in the fact that he’s not a highly rated prospect. Some random call up is probably worth going two pitches deep on. Save the third/fourth for other established hitters. On the flip side, I would think opposing pitchers go after someone like Torkleson as though they aren’t a rookie. It’s not to say that’s why Torkleson has struggled.
