oblong Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Sixto Sanchez... in HS we had a team party before the playoffs and the Tigers were playing the White Sox. This was spring 1990. The starter for the Sox was Melido Perez. A coach says to me as we're eating pizza... "You tell me a guy named Melido Perez doesn't smoke cocaine" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordstanley Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 At the 1/4 mark of the season, the Tigers are 20-20 with a +3 run differential. That's "mid" in teen speak, "meh" to a 30 year old, "mediocre" to a 50-something, and "gee whiz, time to pull up your socks" to a 70 year old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongbit Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 What’s Mario Impemba up to these days? I wonder if he’ll swing by Comerica Park the next few days and pull up a chair to catch up with old friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) As much as it appears our relief corps has let us down, in terms of what we can control—walks, strikeouts, homers to a degree—we have actually improved lately. The problem has been the outcomes. Through end of April, our relievers' FIP-minus was 102, which is ever-so-slightly worse than the average of 100, but our ERA-minus was 73 (6th-best). For May, though, our FIP-minus has been 88, ranking 11th, but their ERA-minus has been 115, which ranks 19th. As you may have guessed, the culprit has been balls starting to fall in. Our March/April BABIP was .232; so far in May, it's .340. That's a problem for a bullpen like the Tigers' that was already among baseball's worst in striking out the opposition in March/April (21.8%, 18th), but has gotten much worse in May (17.9%, 29th). You may or may not agree that strikeouts are fascist, but when a team doesn't get enough of them, they have to rely on some combination of their defense and dumb luck to get guys out.

UCFKNIGHT Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Why are the Tigers playing the infield shift tonight? The shift cost the tigers at least two runs against Miami tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing the odds. Modern day baseball predicts where a player "usually" hits it. Sometimes a team gets burned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdog Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Manning is a mid to second level starter. If he was durable, he'd be a pretty decent asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalTiger Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Manning is cementing his spot as a teams fifth or sixth starter. Not bad but nothing special. Not a future piece in my amateur evaluation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
