    well that was different.

    Soto's not giving up that Pumpkin award to Joe without a fight!

    but I agree with the premise, and that is why it probably took Ilitch so long to fire him. Organizationally Avila didn't appear do anything wrong per se, he just didn't do enough of the things he was doing that were generally correct directionally. And since he was lousy at negotiating trades he couldn't make up any ground on that front.

    Soto only has one run to work now. Should put him on his best game right?

    Naylor - no batting gloves. Throwback. Love it.

    Back in the day we called that 'Peter Principled,' - eventually promoted to his level of incompetence.

    Joe decides to compete for the Tiger Pumpkin award tonight.

    That all I really want to see from Tork for a while - regain command of the k-zone. That has been his calling card when he's successful.

    Another good game for Crouch 2/4, HR BB. 862 OPS since his promotion to WM. Nothing better than to see a guy get promoted and then improve his hitting output.

    I wonder if Harold should play 1st with his OF glove. He doesn't seem to handle that 1st baseman's trapper all that well. That's not the 1st time he's had a ball just sort of climb out the glove on him.

    Yup. All the metrics in the world go down the drain when the guy that shows up this year just isn't the same guy that showed up last year. It may be the same name and same face, but it ain't the same guy.

    How do you get 6 IP of 1 run ball from Garrett Hill? Other teams must looks at the Tigers and marvel at how a bad team can turn any sow's ear of a young arm into a serviceable silk purse MLB pitcher. Avila should get credit for having built an org that seems to do pitching development as well as anyone. And it does us no good because the hitting is worse than the pitching is good. How you can build such a totally unbalanced org?

    the deal didn't look bad - the question is whether there was something they should have been looking at and didn't see that would have predicted his collapse before they gave him the $$. If all the stat, film and analysis work gives you no prior indication a player is about to lose it, that's sort of a disappointment.

    Good night for Eduardo, meanwhile Pineda follows by giving up 3 runs on 3 hits and BB in 1 IP.

    Hill is usefully wild compared to RP. RP was around the plate so much that when his FB slowed or his break got lazy the pitches were right over the plate where they could be mashed. Hill's pitches are all over the place - resulting in walks but it may keep the batter a little more off balance if he can keep the walks reasonable.

    Kriedler, Torkelson, Greene, Perez, Carpenter. If the Tigers are wildly lucky and all these guys can hit in the majors then they will have a team next year. But how probable is 'wildly lucky'. Of course how probable was this year?

    There was about a 2 week period early this season when it looked like Reyes might be hitting the ball a little harder, but you watch him now and it's the same old thing. He has plenty of hip rotation but his lower half is so far ahead of his bat that the lower half drive is all spent before he swings. Hopeless I guess.

    I think he's ready aleady.

    Meadows with his 13th HR tonight for Erie.

    the have been a lot of stories in the MSM recently about how terrible it is that such a large % of the EV's are going to go to the upper class people who have the money to be 'early adopters.' Who TF cares? Your economic situation won't be any worse if you still drive an IC car 10 yrs after your your radiologist got his EV. As long as the manufacturers are selling as many as they can build the CO2 impact is the same. If they make more money doing it, they will be able to build more sooner. Few things the Americans media is dumber about than economics.

    We need this Judge to get any Trump document theft trial!!! https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/08/16/navy-spying-plea-deal-rejected/

    This man knows how to make a sale.

    It's just depressing that we are back in a rut where we are going to commit to a guy who's probably going to be terrible just because we owe him more money than one of the other guys who is terrible, who we will cut but who then will go on to have a good year for someone else......
  24. gehringer_2
    That's true, but I can give a guy like Steve Schmidt credit for repudiating his past as long as he is willing (as he seems to be) to actually now work against what he built then. It's the people like Mitt that I have no patience for, who want to sanctimoniously repudiate Trump as some kind of isolated infection instead of the revealed core of what they believe produces.
  25. gehringer_2
    Maybe someone has the patience to do the search, but I'm sure we could develop a good estimate of the probability that a guy who has a year as bad at Schoop's *in-the-absence-of-injury* comes back at age 31 with a good season. I need to be persuaded there is any real chance. The only real hope I have is that it's because the Tigers, as a team, are screwing up their hitters in some detrimental way that new management could change. But since it seems probable that Hinch isn't going anywhere, then that is not likely to change either.
