There was definitely discussion about how analytically advanced Houston was, and how Verlander was absorbing all that info. I recall Hinch making a comment about Verlander being the player who was most interested in all of the data they had. And the media absolutely portrayed it that way, but Verlander refuted that as he had already figured things out and was pitching great beforehand.
-
I remember the exact opposite where in a ST interview the following year a reporter asked him about getting traded and turning things around, and Verlander replied that he had already turned things around before the trade.
-
Looked like he was upset with himself at first.

10.2% is a plus BB%.

Takes no effort for him to hire a search firm to make recommendations for him. -
A BB% of 15.2 is very encouraging. Not sure where he was on other lists, but fangraphs had him 5th in the pre season rankings, and I'd agree he's done nothing to really fall far off from that spot.
-
What's the difference? Tony La Russa is their all-time best seller!
-
This is the majors right?
-
I've had issues with both Bally and Fox apps where they put me in a completely different market for some reason.
-
I can't remember who the player was, but I remember seeing a clip of them doing one of these interviews and the players dad was just completely wasted.
-
The Tigers recent history of drafting and developing pitchers is pretty good though.
-
I know the big question for Pacheco was whether he'd be able to make enough contact for his power to play enough in game, but a K rate of 20.3% is certainly promising in that regard.
-
Keith was ranked higher preseason and has performed better at a higher level, so I'd say he's still clearly ahead of Pacheco.
-
Honestly, is anybody even successful without at least a 93+ MPH fastball anymore? Off the top of my head I can't think of anybody.
-
Meadows has started to turn it around at Erie after struggling initially. Hitting .300/.342/.557 in the last 19 games.
-
The data they were discussing only applies to prep pitchers, so at least the Tigers have only spent two top 10 picks on them since 2016.
-
What are the odds Smyly gives up four runs if he pitches the inning? Just stupid to have a bunch of guys come in to pitch with a four run lead. Just have Smyly pitch the inning and you'll get to the 9th with the lead.

Cleveland never needed any type of rebuild, they just had cheap owners. They had a team built to compete for the next five years with a bunch of young talent and just decided to blow that up.
-
What have the Royals rebuilt to?

They deceive you, he walked three times.

One thing I'll say about Torks struggles, is that it is not like he's completely lost to the point of being hopeless. He's still showing a good approach at the plate. A BB% of 11.8 and a K% of 26.9 is not great, obviously, but it's workable, and really not out of the line for a reasonable expectation of his rookie year. Bart had a K rate of 45.4% in 108 PA, Kelenic 37.5% in 96 PA, Adell 34.5% with a BB% of 3.4% in 87 PA. Those guys were sinking while Tork is treading water. He's at the point where he needs to face ML pitching, he's not gonna get any better doing that by hitting AAA pitching.

Yeah I definitely agree there's no reason to keep trotting him out there going forward.
-
Absolutely kills me that they can't get any variation in the ads when you stream.
-
Grossman is a career .247/.350/.380 hitter. Last year he hit .239/.357/.415. I really wouldn't classify his performance as some big fluke, pretty normal variation.
-
Even Vladdy Jr. was only a slightly above league average hitter through his first two seasons (183 games). A lot of Blue Jays were calling him a bust.
