The only good thing about Schoop is his second base defense. I agree completely. I was not stating my desire. I was just predicting what we might see.

At 1b Schoop’s value will be utterly negative. Of course that’s what they’ll do. Edited July 19, 2022 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious D Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 1 hour ago, LongLiveMaroth said: I am curious as to the shakeup we will see after the AS break. Usually you will see some moves happen after the ASB to move players up and down levels. I think we’re a bit limited in what we can do. The AS break has sometimes served as a line of demarcation, where players who had a bad first half, turn it on in the second (and vice versa). I think we’re better off giving Schoop, Grossman, Candy and Barnhart a month to see if the break helped them. By that time, Rogers might be ready to come back. Kreidler could be an option at 3B if he can get some reps in Toledo. Could also bring back Cameron or Hill, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edman85 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Minor League vets aren't supposed to be on the complex league rosters. Any idea how 29-year old Michael De La Cruz is allowed to be on the FCL Tigers roster? It's not a rehab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case you are forcing team's not to cover the center of the IF, which means more batters will see a better chance to go right up the middle - at the pitcher.

apabruce Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Does the rule allow stepping over the other side? That is, for the SS to stand across both lines toward the first baseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think hitters might actually pull the ball more now that there’s one fewer fielder on that side of the IF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigeraholic1 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I was watching the Lou Whitaker story on Bally the other day. It got me thinking,he was a pull line drive/ground ball hitter. Does he get 200 hits in 83 with the shift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdog Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I don't know if Manning will ever be good. But if he's healthy, he has to make as many starts as possible in Detroit in the next 70 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Lou first came up, putting the ball right down the *opposite* foul line was his calling card. As he got older/stronger he got pretty good at putting it right down the pull side foul line. So the skill to either way in his repertoire, but I'm not sure how much he ever did both at the same time - which of course is harder and what you would have to be able to do against a variable shift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Manning roughed up in Toledo tonight. 4 runs on 7 hits in only 4 1/3 innings. I haven't seen anything about how his stuff looked or how he felt but even though the numbers are pedestrian to say the least if he didn't get hurt I guess that's a positive step.

Since nobody gives errors in baseball runs vs earned runs is meaningless. Looking at the play log, he gave up hits to the 1st three hitters, two were line drives. After that all the remaining hits were on ground balls. FWIW, his infield was Lopez, Westbrook and Davis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So teams could still shift with a middle infielder at 2B and the other around halfway between 2B and either of 1B/3B. I guess then the only change would be keeping the 2Bdude in the IF rather than playing short RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
