NorthWoods Posted April 11 Posted April 11 2 hours ago, RaceDog said: I'm gonna eat a little crow here....Max has looked like the hitter he was touted to be so far this year. He is getting the ball up off the ground and has less swing and miss. His eye seems to be improving as well. Defense seems to be improved from last year...maybe better reads? I also like that he is stealing more and successfully. It is a small sample size, but I think he has just matured as a player since last fall. He seems to be a hard worker, so it's good to see it paying off. Quote

You can reach base in ways that don't count toward an 'on-base' streak - in this case he reached by fielder's choice, which means from a batting standpoint, he made an out. But runs scored count to your credit regardless of whether you were on base because you were 'on base' or not. 🤔 Edited April 12 by gehringer_2 Quote

1984Echoes Posted April 14 Posted April 14 It's just WAY TOO early for me to worry about how guys are doing in the minors this year... AAA has only played 15 games so far and all our other teams barely half that... If a guy starts out hot... great. If a guy is starting slow... I'll just wait until we are in at least the 25-40 game range before I try getting a decent read on a guy. Just for example: The highest OPS by a Tigers minor leaguer right now is... Gage Workman. 1.090 OPS at Toledo. Yeah... I don't think that one will last all season long... Quote

Tenacious D Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Very different season (so far) for our minor league teams vs last season. Only Lakeland is above .500. Think we have a lot of our top 30 prospects injured, but the pitching looks bleak. Quote

Motor City Sonics Posted April 16 Posted April 16 The pitching is a bit scary. Let's hope the big league guys stay healthy. Max didn't play Wednesday, was that just a day of rest? 1 Quote
irishpack Posted April 16 Posted April 16 Bryce Rainer off to a rough start, lots of strikeouts. Quote

RatkoVarda Posted Monday at 09:03 PM Posted Monday at 09:03 PM hmm. 40% K rate at Lakeland. SSS for sure. Maybe they thought no one was throwing him strikes? i'm just glad he is healthy enough to promote 1 Quote
Graterol Posted Monday at 10:02 PM Posted Monday at 10:02 PM Guessing Rainer promotion was just to open a spot for Yost (not due to merit). Quote
