It does seem systematic. Looking at todays box score our batters are all bad to awful statistically. It’s worrisome. -
We still have many unsolved positions at the major league level including ALL infield positions though 1B might be solved.

It's a done deal. 35,000 seat stadium with semi retractable roof to be built for opening day 2027. They are one mile off the Strip and close to Football and Hockey teams in a soon to be Sports area with each stadium about a mile apart. Maybe bars and Strip clubs in between..??? Raiders- Knights - Athletes - Hookers- Strippers- Drunks and Gamblers...should be great Family entertainment 😀 I'm guessing they will be really bad until then..tank..tank..tank to Vegas Baby.

And Verling- P Meadows -Greene in the OF

Series win. Tough loss but we’re at least back to standing on the edge of the season’s cliff instead of free falling. Greene Maton Tork Verling looking promising at times but need consistency which should come with AB’s. certainly worth watching which is good. -

I don't understand. Once Turnbull gave up the homer why not let him just keep going ? If 82 pitches are too many then why leave him in ? -

You called that. Too bad Hinch didn't see it. And of course now he takes him out. Shades of Brad Ausmus. -

Thank you for that. -
Can Detroit Find Trading Partner For Javier Báez?
SoCalTiger replied to UCFKNIGHT's topic in Detroit Tigers
Baez is here to stay so let's hope he settles in and the team improves enough to stay relevant to the players and to the FANS ! We still have many players just happy to be in the major leagues. That's not enough to win. -

Same thing with Torks hit barely clearing the drawn in infield. Our old buddy Gabe helping us out ! -

Yes yes. Just leave him there every day. Rotate players at third. -

SoCalTiger replied to casimir's topic in Game Threads
I like aways liked Baez and was ok with his signing. I still like him. Disappointed with tonights gaffe. Don't agree with taking him out. Public humiliation rarely works and often does not end well. Don't need to brew a soap opera. Better to take it behind closed doors. He's not the first player to forget how many outs there are. We need him producing and motivated and have a made a major investment in him. -

I don't think Hinch is going anywhere nor do I think he should. But if Harris decides to replace him it won't bother me either. What I personally like to see in a manager that probably does not help or matter is a little fire and I think a young team might benefit. I think Hinch missed a grand opportunity to go off yesterday on the bogus interference call at third. Just let the team know, and the fans, that you really give a hoot and have their back. Even if it's superficial. -

Yes compared to the rest of the roster. Upgrades are always welcome but until then I think they have the most "potential" or grant you "hope" we have. -

yes currently it's not win today it's win the future. That's why you don't throw Winterger to the wolves and yes you can lose in the 8th or any inning but it's still better than the optics and emotion of a walk off loss. -

I think we are in great shape with Harris running the show despite the miserable start. Trading relief pitchers made sense and the return, in my opinion, was outstanding. Having said that I really thought we would add one solid piece from free agency last year. Maybe Illitch mandated a small budget "until Midges $$" is off the books. As for the bullpen in hindsight we should have added a couple low cost veterans but again Harris did state " we will develop at the MLB level" and "we have to give innings and AB's to developing players ". What makes the bullpen so bad besides losing Chafin-Fullmer-Jimenez and Soto is the Cisnereo gamble went bad and Will Vest fell off a cliff and Breiske got hurt. Thats seven receivers from lat years pen. As for offense losing Meadows and Baez continued exasperating hitting combined with Greene ( .697 OPS) and Torks (.606 OPS) very tepid start says it all. And if our two young Pillars of hope don't produce runs, not just hard hit rate , we are toast. We have no choice but to play it our with Greene-Tork-Maton-Verling-Rogers-Carpenter and Badoo and hope for improvement. They all should play everyday. Period. Fit in the rest around them. Cut Schoop , bench Miggy, and with play Kreidler or send him down to play. Its bad and may get worse but Harris will improve the team..quicker if Illitch opens the wallet. -

I’m just happy Wintenger didn’t pass out on the mound. Putting him in the ninth to face the 3-4-5 guys in the lineup on the road in the midst of a long losing streak is malpractice on Hinch’s part in my opinion. What a confidence killer. -

I think it’s possible you are confusing clinical diagnosed anxiety with normal anxiety. It’s the brain not the geography. -

Ya me neither. I'm just guessing. But looking at Schoops last year + Dominican play + WBC + spring training and his slow start..three hits and two were dinkers....... -

No way. Paredes minor league BB/SO were good and the low sandwich draft pick is very valuable to new era GM's/POBO's. God bless Meadows but he was clearly declining in power and defense while ascending in cost.
