Agreed. The kid doesn't appear overmatched. He's raw, give him a chance to get used to this new league.
-
He pinch hit Canha, a RH hitter, for Rogers, another RH hitter. Rogers has more power. 2 outs and men at 2nd and 3rd. Making an out is the worst possible outcome. Canha made an out. My response was "Rogers could have done that." Yeah, what I was saying is that it was a failed attempt. Canha may have a good OPS, but he hasn't proven to be very clutch.

9-9 so far in April? With 9 games to go? We need to go 5-4 to have a winning month.
-
Hinch is just giving Tork a partial day off. He'll be back at 1st base for the next 20 games. (Or longer). It's why we don't have a full time DH. To rotate guys getting a rest.
-
Greene leading off doesn't bother me, it's Canha hitting 2nd. The guy just isn't a 2 hole hitter, too pull happy, rolling over grounders to the left side. A double play waiting to happen.
-
It's all in the mitt. A 1st baseman mitt is designed to scoop throws. Most 1st basemen have to scoop throws from the infield. Is Tork better than most? I would say no.
-
While I agree about Tork at 1st base, I disagree with assuming other players are better. They've never played at 1st base, so until they play there for several games, there's no credibility in saying they're better there than Tork is. They could just as easily be worse.
-
The outcome speaks for itself.
-
Deciding run scores on Tork's inability to field a throw or a ground ball double play. But no criticism. He'll hit some home runs, eventually.
-
Leadoff walk. The kiss of death!!
-
We gots da Twinkies right wheres we want 'em.
-
Rogers coulda struck out just as easy. But yeah, let Canha prove how worthless he is.
-
Stand up triple. 2 days in a row. Keep him in the lineup!!
-
Let's try an outfielder at 1st base. What's the worst that can happen? 🤣🤣
-
Just wait until the 8th and 9th innings...we'll get 'em. 😆😆
-
Kaline, Cash and Killebrew?
-
JV is back! He won his season debut last night. Do we think he has a legit shot at 300 wins?
-
Just to lighten the mood;
-
Same. I can be doing something and look when there's action. Also, for some reason, all the giggling really irritates me. I had hopes for Jason but he let's the ex-jocks run the discussions. Dan seemed to be able to control Craig...no small feat. The Tiger version of Don Cherry.
-
How about using that brain for pitch recognition? 😆
-
Oops
-
And as a side note, great job by Dan Dickerson. He kept Craig under control and actually paid attention to the action. No giggling or just plain stupid discussions. I could listen to him and know there's a ball in play.
-
Carpenter's at bats reminded me of VMart. Rod used to call him..."A professional hitter." Excellent bat control, just serve the ball over the infield with runners in scoring position.
-
Nice team win. How can Hinch sit Perez? The kid gives this offense some spark. Lead him off?
-
With instant replay...Tigers woulda won. Inge was hit by that pitch. 😡😡
