Tigeraholic1 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Only 1 starter and the rest non roster invitees for Braves today. Can we get a W? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984Echoes Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I'm looking for Manning's improvement this year... But it certainly hasn't showed up in ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 manning in a jam in the 1st. Then a terrible read by Vierling in CF matched only by how bad the runner on 2nd misread it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Baddoo flashes a little leather to end the 2nd for Manning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Baddoo taking a walk and being disruptive on the bases to manufacture a run. Carpenter with 3 HRs. Meanwhile Veirling showing questionable CF play not many LH pitchers in the AL Central. Maybe Baddoo and Carpenter do both make the team..... Manning with a pick-off after a lead-off single in the 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Manning getting by but not throwing a lot of strikes today. Baddoo adding to his day by throwing a seed from RF to third to almost nab a runner. Best throw I've ever seen him make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) Vierling had another poor break on a fly ball to left. He may be fast but I'm not seeing a good OF - at least in this game. Edited March 22, 2023 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigeraholic1 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Enjoyed hearing Leyland there. Dan asked if he thought Ohtani was the best player he had ever seen. JL said he is pretty good but don't think he can play second base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) well, I don't know if it will change and who knows what may possibly change with the Bally bankruptcy, but as of today, the Bally game on DirectTV and my Gameday audio are back to being close enough to synchronize. Blissful relief from Shep and Monroe. Jim Price is showing his age - but mostly just by talking less.

Sports_Freak Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Do we all agree that the Tigers should just give Cabrera a buyout and use Haas and Carpenter as our DH or are there still holdouts? We gotta pay him anyway but why be stubborn and have it cost us games? Pay him to go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not going to be playing everyday and won’t be blocking anyone. He will probably settle into a glorified pinch hitter role for much of the year and I can’t see how he will cost us games. Let him finish on his terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on whether he hits at all and of course whether he stays healthy enough to be in the lineup at all. I'm sure the FO hopes he ends up on the DL and removes the issue from their inbox. Alternately, we, and they, can all dream that he actually holds the lineup spot down at maybe even 700 OPS, but I'm not optimistic because he was back to hitting flat footed today, and the regular season hasn't even started. That is a bad sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him finish on his terms. I know he has to be on the team because that is just the way it is, but he does block people by limiting roster flexibility. They have a lot of role players who will be in various platoons and match-ups and having an extra player that can play in the field would help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been arguing for this for at least two years. But it won't happen. "Dignity" and all. Plus the last year of his contract. Player/ team/ fan relations... I'll live. But he is going out as pitiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) So how do we feel about the starting pitching? Right now I'm: Manning: I'm seeing a mid rotation guy. I think he could be dominant if he had a couple more mph, but I think lack of top level velo FB limits the ceiling for his pitching style. And needs to stay healthy Boyd: Should keep us in most games he starts - a 500 kind of guy. ERod: This Spring we see why they gave him the money. They should have a shot in the games he starts Turnbull: Above average starter if his body holds together. Lorenzen: now a question mark. so basically decent potential but too many health question marks (what else is new?)
