Tiger337 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 LOL, Baez. They set up the last two pitches about a foot outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinzaki Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Baez couldn't have hit those last two he swung at wit a phone pole...Victor Wembanyama couldn't have reached them. Javy needs to sit for a spell. Make him miserable enough to opt out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLiveMaroth Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Eh shutouts count the same as a 8-7 L. Obviously having the offense show up would be ideal but Olson looked good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtrain72 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I'm ok with a loss after taking the series, but Harvy has to go, it's untenable having his "bat" in the lineup if this team actually wants to contend for winning things going forward...that last at bat should get him benched. Hell, if Maton did that ****, he'd be back in Toledo tomorrow. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The catcher set up off the plate and javier baez keeps flailing away like a newborn infant unfortunately they don't have another SS in the system that woudn't do worse, unless lightning strikes Kreidler and turns him into a hitter. Avila probably brought in an average of a least 4 SS hopefulls per year (at least until 2021!) between trades, the draft and international and the sum total we have to show is Wenceel still in AA and playing mostly 2B, and a very maybe guy in A ball. Ironic - if they had just held on to Iggy they would be net ahead over the last 5 yrs, we would not have suffered through Niko and we wouldn't have Baez's contract. Thanks McCann (and probably Gardenhire). The worst moves by GMs are often dumping players they don't like wihout obtaining a replacement they won't like even less. (Yeah, I know, Jeimer says, "Hi").

This is a below average baseball team on the road. 3 of 7 is probably the most reasonable outcome for a below average team on a 7 game road trip. 5 of 7 would be fantastic. Sure, today stinks, but the feeling can be erased. Edited July 16, 2023 by casimir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's like an android designed to frustrate a team's fans In hindsight (which of course is easy), they probably should have just left Javy alone - he's only gotten progressively worse for all the things they have him 'working on'. He's ended up sacrificing all his power to 'control the zone' but there has been no benefit in his OBP and definitely not in his net OPS. That's the thing about hitting, you never know when you start out to change a guy if you aren't going to make him worse - it happens all the time. Sometimes a player isn't doing it right because he's never had the benefit of the right coaching so for that guy you unlock improvement, but the devil is that some guys evolve into 'doing it wrong' because for them doing it wrong is the only way it works at all and if you start messing with them it's only grief. When you decide to demand a 10yr vet deconstruct his approach you better be sure you have an alternative that's going to work. IMHO, the Tigers have had a little too much confidence in their own smarts in handling Javy. YMMV Edited July 17, 2023 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
