Maeda moved to Wednesday. Flaherty and Manning(27th man probably) tomorrow.
-
postponed; straight doubleheader tomorrow at 3:40 eastern.
-
-
Simple decision.
-
Tork still out today; but now McKinstry at SS.
-
Trying to develop half your roster in the majors is joyless at times. The hitting thing seems to be institutional at this point. The defensive lapses are unacceptable.
-
If Kelly has to go on the IL, the already bad catching situation gets much worse. Maybe rogers couldn’t repeat 2023, but I was expecting more. You are already carrying 3-4 empty lineup spots.
-
Enough is enough time is at least a year away imo.
-
I wish we had an organization that really cared about winning more games this year. But they don’t have many offensive levers to pull. If these guys can’t hit, you are essentially shuffling deck chairs.
-
Tork was a 1-1 pick who could turn it around at anytime. Hiura is a 4-A player who will hit 3 home runs in the first week and then crater into what he is. How do you think Scott Harris, the captain of lower expectations and development, is going to handle it?
-
He is not in the top 5 hitters at risk.
-
That’s what this season is about now. Seeing if the rookies can develop in the majors….determine how replaceable tork is if he hits like a jag. meanwhile, the pitching will be fine aside from a few blips like the 9th inning.
-
I don’t think they are going to sacrifice ‘development’ for short term roster improvement. They would only go down if Harris and Hinch think that major league at bats are hurting their future. someone is going down when Ibanez comes back.
-
Nobody is giving up on Tork. You probably have to lower his ceiling significantly now. If he can be a jag first baseman who hits 25-30 homers that would be good.
-
Holton wasn’t going to repeat last year lol…but he can still be pretty useful.
-
And a low babip. Sometimes the batted ball outcome ends up poorly.
-
Tigers staff also had a low strand rate
-
That home run was just terrible batted ball roulette…low ev and barely over the wall.
-
Meadows has struck out 10 times in his last 14 at-bats. I think we have reached the breaking point.
-
Aside from 3-4 games out of 21, every outcome has gone to the late innings where either team could win. If they could ever get separation on offense, we would be in business.
-
Urshela to IL; Buddy Kennedy is called up.
-
Colt Keith has a 50% grounder rate on batted balls. The first step in his development is finding a way to normalize that stat.
-
-
McKinstry and the catchers are not competitive at the plate.
-
Another tie game in the late innings...we don't have enough of these.
