  1. I'm pretty confident that Tork is broken enough that he won't be a consistent hitter. There's something in his swing decisioning or mechanics that doesn't allow him to barrel up the ball to get the .800 minimum OPS that he needs to be consided a core guy. It should not be this hard.
  2. 7 walks...takes a special kind of crappy offense to only score one run haha.
  3. I think the first step in a Tork demotion will be pinch hitting for him late in high leverage situations. That should probably start happening.
  4. It shows to me how little they think of the options in Toledo. Hiura is there if a guy gets hurt IMO.
  5. Aside from Baez, they need to figure out if the guaranteed outs will provide value in 2025 and beyond. Their entire offseason posture was about developing these guys in the majors. There's a reason Harris undersold all optimism.
  6. https://www.audacy.com/971theticket/sports/detroit-tigers/a-j-hinch-detroit-tigers-wont-demote-spencer-torkelson
  7. Also hitting prospects sometimes fail. Greene is a huge hit, maybe Wenceel is too idk. Out of Tork, Meadows, and Keith, who knows which guy will be able to stack good offense together? They need time to figure it out.
  8. The difference between AAA and Major league pitching is substantial. Harris and Hinch want to develop and trial by fire these hitters in the majors. They want to win, but they also need to know if these guys can adjust/adapt, and figure it out. It's not going to be linear development. And the replacements in Toledo either aren't ready or aren't part of any long term plan.
  9. Cardinals won a Tigers style game earlier...Tigers returned the favor and won with Cardinals sloppy softball.
  10. Do they need a fresh bullpen guy for tomorrow? Seems like they are a bit overextended right now.
  11. Holton lol...pitching disaster class.
  12. get some real separation here.
  13. Wenceel is seeing the ball well.
  14. In the Tigers context, 2 runs is a big inning lol.
  15. Until they solve the macro hitting issues, they have to win on the margins(pitching/defense). The offense is not going to consistently help.
  16. A 1-0 win gets us nowhere aside from the 'standings.' They have to make some hard choices about this lineup. If we are rolling with the development plan then this is going to happen.
  17. live fastball against his former team.
  18. I'm not sure they have a catcher to call up. Dingler has a .640 OPS.
  19. Maeda moved to Wednesday. Flaherty and Manning(27th man probably) tomorrow.
  20. postponed; straight doubleheader tomorrow at 3:40 eastern.
