Al Avila: “You’ve got to go full bore from Day 1"
Tiger337 replied to Useful Idiot's topic in Detroit Tigers
It depends on which definition of bore you choose. -
I blame the players.
-
Maybe they can get Dusty Baker. He is doing great in Hinch's old role.

I haven't given up on this being an interesting development season when players get back from injuries. Everything had to go right this year to contend for a playoff spot and it hasn't.

It's like a political discussion. When something good happens it's because your guy made it happen. If something bad happens, it's somebody else's fault.

How do you know their record last year was because of Hinch? Teams get luckly and have random good years all the time. It's not like it's trending into this year.

Daniel Cabrera? Can we say "told you so" after he is released?
-
yeah, if someone is a good enough hitter where you can forgive subpar defense, they are usually in the starting line-up. Everybody on the bench should be able to field at a couple of positions well.

As I read it, I think the team with the worst record with either get a lottery pick (1 through 6) or they would pick 7th.
-
Thank you.
-
I believe the first lottery will be six teams in 2023.

Szymborski is right. It's not a playoff team. It never really was. This is a development year. Unfortunately, most of the key pieces - Greene, Mize, Manning - have been hurt. Another big piece - Torkelson - is off to a slow start. How well those players do the rest of the season will determine what the off-season and 2023 look like.

And they are doing it without the genius AJ Hinch! They are on pace to win 100 games with some old recycled manager.

I never understood what was so great about Netflix. They aren't coming back. You look at Apple, Google and Amazon and you see them dominating everything but Netflix?

Braden thinks that Soto sucks, so maybe he knows something.
-
Sure, Bad hitting beats bad pitching all the time!
-
I think I would be more concerned if he was swinging at balls in the dirt. Those guys seem to never get going. He can probably hit AAA breakng balls. He needs to learn to hit them in the majors. But I have no scouting credibility at all, so don't listen to me. 😄
-
I haven't watched all the games, but when I have seen him he looks like he's close. There are lots of swings and misses, but he is not swinging at many bad pitches. I think he'll get going.
-
I am watching the Oakland Athletics broadcast. Their color man (Dallas Braden?) says that Torkelson does not look over matched and that the Tigers should keep running him out there until he figures it out. I have no idea how much Braden can be trusted, but it was interesting to hear the opinion of an opposing former player.
-
Mike Trout batted .220/.281/.390 in his first season.
-
Yeah, I am not worried about him. He was kind of rushed, so it's not surprising that he is struggling. Plus, he tends to have an adjustment period at each level.
-
The problem with Jerk Sox is that it could refer to either of the Sox teams.
-
It seems unnecessary given the size of the pitching staffs today, but it happens so infrequenly that it doesn't bother me. If there is one game where Harold Castro has to pitch in a 14-0 blow out, it doesn't hurt anything. I think it's entertaining and it's something that has happened throughout the history of the game.
