  1. Flaherty's walk rate is up, but he has the highest K/9 of his career.
  2. Who said no trades happen in April or May? I certainly didn't say that.
  3. 3 players designated for assignment and one a RP who hasn't made the majors. Not a single major league starter, try again.
  4. Trades involving ML starting players actually happen in specific windows, and the end of April/beginning of May is not one of them.
  5. He got into it with Verlander, but that had nothing to do with his dismissal. Verlander refused to let him in the room or something like that, but that was when he had already been traded to the Astros.
  6. He played in national showcases, he'd proven himself against the best competition. His hit tool was highly regarded, but nobody was projecting he'd hit for the power he has because he's 5'8.
  7. I think xwOBA isn't supposed to be adjusted for ballpark factors, a hit with the same exit velocity and launch angle will have the same xwOBA in Comerica and Fenway.
  8. BTW, Tigers offense was second behind only the Dodgers in xwOBA entering today.
  9. A 24.4 K% is fine, especially paired with a 14.0% BB%. He's never gonna be a 20% K%.
  10. The ballpark is irrelevant. He was called up because he hits lefties, and there was a lefty on the mound. It's absolutely asinine to suggest a player needs to spend their first game on the bench.
  11. The option to listen to the radio feed is still there, I've been listening to Dickerson all game.
  12. Light, but steady, rain 10 miles north at 10 & Woodward.
  13. Reminder: peacock games are available on YTTV.
  14. 6 BB, 2 Ks, and 5 2B in 29 PAs. Too bad he strikes out a lot and hits a lot of weak ground balls.
  15. The Padres broadcast showed the stats from spring training, catchers had the highest success rate, then pitchers, then batters. Catchers were somewhere around 56%, pitchers a little over 50%, and batters around 46%. Just going off memory so the percentages may be off a bit.
  16. The rule already allows for unlimited successful challenges.
  17. Well, for starters, you're missing that he doesn't K a lot, and his contact rate is elite.
  18. A lot of fans on reddit are calling him the professor, in reference to the Harry Potter character.
  19. The final four is in Indy, the game against Purdue is in San Jose.
  20. Keith's 109 wRC+last year wouldve tied for 16th amongst 1B. Even if he doesn't improve he'd be a top 20 starting 1B. Of course, he was 23 last year, so there's reason to expect him to perform better than he did in his second season. You are so overdramatic.
  21. But I was told the Tigers had a required number of PAs a player had to get in the minors before they called them up.
