I guess if you’re going to play like crap you should dress like crap. The Sh!tty Connect uniforms fit the bill.

Quote

• But the individual cases are as concerning as ever. Javier Báez has a 42 wRC+, making him the second-worst qualifying hitter in the major leagues. Riley Greene, the closest thing the Tigers have to a premier hitter, is still battling exaggerated bouts of inconsistency. After appearing to hit his stride, he entered Thursday batting only .196 over the past 14 days. Colt Keith, though he has shown encouraging signs, does not have a home run through 141 at-bats (though in one of those great baseball oddities, he would have six homers if he played every game at Dodger Stadium). Spencer Torkelson is hitting only .191 against fastballs. Despite small glimmers of progress earlier in the month, he continues to get beat with the same pitches and struggles with the same timing issues.

The latest ‘Have a Seat’ podcast is a good one with Jake Rogers.

Maeda now instead of Manning.

What atrocious uniforms.  

I am guessing an 11-1 score today.

Is it bad I have more confidence in Manning than Maeda?

The way Maeda has pitched this year so far, absolutely not.

[Hongbit]

Not the least bit surprising but wow!

WTF took you so long AJ?

The only change I'd make would be to drop Tork to the 9th spot.

I have more confidence in Maeda than Manning.

Manning's pretty close to my wanting to demote him to the bullpen.

I wonder if he went to the pen he could throw a little harder. He and Wentz share that same property - they can be good when the fast ball is hot and they get good delta velo - not so much when the FB is a little lazy.

I'd be interested in seeing what would happen if Manning were able to go all out... for 1 inning per game (for the games he is put in...).

Yeah...he was bad last time out. But he's still getting better... Maeda is what he is.

Looks like he knows how to control the strike zone! 😁

I’ve gone a third of a season or so and I’ve decided that I can’t listen to Jason Benetti with Craig Monroe anymore. It’s just too much chuckleheadedness for me. Benetti feeds Monroe’s muse and allows him to give in to his worst impulses. I don’t mind Monroe with Dan Dickerson because Dan is all business and keeps Monroe reined in. I get that most people love Benetti and Monroe and they might be the permanent team next year, but I’m pretty much out on them.

Keith bomb #1!

[gehringer_2]

very nice

I have to pirate every game and always end up with the home teams announcers. I much prefer road games. Both Gibson and Monroe are amongst the worst announcers.

Now.....maybe the monkey is off his back a bit and he can relax a bit.  He's been hitting the ball hard for a few weeks now.  He seems to be the only guy in the lineup that has been improving.     Perez has been pretty solid, but not improving.
