Just horrendous luck for the pitching staff... nothing Skubal could do about that
-
Meanwhile, they're making Civale look like Bob Feller lol
-
F***
-
Understood. Just saying that strikeouts are not the hill to die on when he has roughly the same level of Ks as the equivalent guys in our system
-
No worse than Clemens and Kreidler, at least since he entered the Angels system.
-
And there's no way he's opting out if he keeps it up! Lol
-
He's on the COVID list.... which, in the grand scheme of things, is probably a win so long as others don't start testing positive lol
-
The fact that Davis can play short would seems like a vote in his favor. It's actually a pretty good pickup for a waiver wire selection.... ranked out as LAA's #20 prospect per Pipeline.

With Javy, I keep going back to the strikeout rate - Tiger fans who aren't used to watching the guy look at some of these pitches that he's swinging at and think that it's abnormal, yet his strikeout rate is currently lower than it has been at any point since 2016. The problem isn't the strikeouts - it's the quality of contact. Which has gotta be something mechanical that is causing him to top a bunch of balls and hit grounders as opposed to hitting line drives... the numbers show it as well, his ground ball % is way higher than career norms, and line drive % is lower. It's one of those things that, sooner or later, one would imagine he'll figure out and fix.

Javy hasn't even been the worst of the SS class, as bad as he's been offensively.... that belongs to Marcus Semien, who has looked even more lost at the plate as a member of the Texas Rangers

More on Brendon Davis, who the Tigers claimed today from the Angels: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/angels-brendon-davis-resurrects-career-with-new-organization/
-
No injury listed.... wonder what that's all about?
-
To paraphrase the late Denny Green, "Javy Baez is who we thought he was".... Maybe this particular cold streak is longer than usual for him, but the team knew what they were getting when he signed.... and really, the strikeouts aren't so much the problem at this point (he's below his career averages) - it's that he's not making good contact and rolling over. Gotta think that will be fixed over time.
-
There's a red moon rising... on the Cuyahoga River.... Rolling into Cleveland to the lake...
-
That could make it easy as a fan to decide whether this thing is worth watching for the remaining 8 innings lol
-
They have a spot for him, they just occupied it with Daz Cameron
-
League average team, granted in a league where it can be tough for hitters...
-
Not sure what more he needs to do to earn a callup.
-
I would say this is comforting, but we also have a guy on the IL with vertigo, so....
-
Notably, Drew Hutchison is getting the start for the Mud Hens in Game 2 today.... apparently he resigned on a minor league deal? EDIT: Signed this morning and getting the start per milb.com
-
I'm wondering how TF they are planning on stitching together a rotation for at least the next month under these circumstances.... Skubal and Faedo seem solid enough at the moment, but Brieske and Wentz both probably still need time in Toledo to figure things out and the two long men they have on the roster (Wily/Rony) aren't stretched out enough to go 5 at the moment. And that's all assuming that none of them get hurt in the short term. What an absolute mess.
-
I don't know, tbh, but the questions seem valid at this point.... At this point, I don't know how they don't ramp up Wily Peralta.... G2 is right (per usual), they should have done it weeks ago.
-
The hits just keep on coming....
-
Smooth sailing from here lol. In all seriousness, I'm not surprised they went after him given all the outfield injuries lol
