chasfh Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Bases loaded, one out, and our two putative biggest threats each strike out swinging on pitches a foot above the zone. They gotta work on that this winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZTigersfan Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Tork and Carp both swing at pitches at their chins with the bases loaded. Disgusting. At this point, I seriously doubt Tork hits number 30. He’s turning in dreadful ABs (ops around 300 his last 7) and he doesn’t hit many homers at Comerica.

Smh He’s still basically a minor leaguer. That’s gonna happen for a while before he fixes it, if he can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meadows at least getting on base with a good walk rate the last few games, something to be a little optimistic about. At least better than seeing guys going down the tubes late in the season which is what you see with a lot of prospects that flash early, then fade once they are scouted, never to be seen again.

I don't like openers. I understand the value of an opener, but it offends my sense of old-time baseball aesthetics.

SoCalTiger Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 1 hour ago, gehringer_2 said: this is a truly terrible offense. We tend not to notice as much as we should because our pitching keeps us in a lot of games that we have no business being in at all so how bad the runs scoring is by league standards isn't so striking. Hopefully they are collectively just tired having played so much at the MLB level, especially Carp-Tork-Verling, but it is concerning all the same especially Carpenters power drought. We still have a long ways to go and Greene's frailty has to be assumed when planning this off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our return for Lolich was stronger—Rusty Staub had some very productive seasons as a Tiger. Yes and at his first interview the reporters were kidding him about wearing number 29 and he said yeah they gave me the fat guy's uniform. So they pressed him a bit more about why he had asked for number 29 and he said no, I'm not kidding, this is actually Lolich's uniform. That's how cheap Jim Campbell could be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They couldn't carry two DHs. I read a little bit on it yesterday. A combination of too many OF/DH types and Horton's aging legs. The trade to Texas was a bit awkward on that side as well. The owner wanted him, but it sounds like the field management didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Al Gore had been born 30 years earlier and had the internet ready by 1975, we probably would have been lamenting that Campbell should have been moving the old ‘68 guys, like Freehan, Stanley and Hiller for prospects.
