chasfh Posted May 17 Posted May 17 (edited) Didn’t Hanifee throw 30 pitches yesterday? EDIT: Maybe AJ’s idea is, if Hanifee gets us through, we still have three fresh guys for extras, and if he gives up the game here, we still have three fresh guys for tomorrow. Edited May 17 by chasfh Quote
Tiger337 Posted May 17 Posted May 17 Oh well, we know what the Tigers are going to need at the dealine. Quote

Adullin Posted May 17 Posted May 17 What happened to the bullpen? What a frustrating game the Tigers hit so many hard hit balls right at people and they Jays won on bloopers and bleeders. Quote

Yeah, he pitched Friday, 30 pitches. No Brieske tomorrow, please. Quote

But they've been giving it up for a couple of weeks now. Not as shut down as it was. 1 Quote

Arlington Posted May 17 Posted May 17 It doesn't seem right somehow for the other team to be able to do that. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted May 17 Posted May 17 53 minutes ago, chasfh said: Actually, stupid question by me. The only time an umpire would himself return a ball to the pitcher is after a dead ball incident such as a foul ball—i.e., he would never take a live ball from the catcher after a pitch and then throw it back himself. And as we all know, a foul ball results in a dead ball, and the ball is not live again until the pitcher touches the pitcher’s plate (aka “the rubber”) while in possession of the ball. You don't see it much anymore, because you don't see umpires throw all that much period (though the guy in the 1st Boston game did). Anyway - it didn't use to be rare for a catcher to toss a ball out of play and the ump throw a new ball out (instead of handing it to the catcher) without the live ball every going dead because of a play event - it's dead by virtue of the catcher having tossed it. I suppose in theory there is an explicit TO there, but it's all so automatic that it's never sensed. Quote

I looked it up and I was not hallucinating. They got rid of it a couple seasons ago and I couldn’t see any reason given but it probably had something to do with interfering with advertising. I never used it, but I would use it now at least on occasion. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted May 17 Posted May 17 Not a fan of walking guys that are slumping even for platoon advantage. Sure Santander is a big power guy but you lose on a single so who cares? Quote

He’s giving up too much loud contact and he’s missing the zone wildly too often. He’s barely better than garbage time at the moment. I get what AJ is trying to accomplish, because 162 games is a lot and you need to try guys in situations sometimes, but I think AJ has enough information on Beau to push him to the front of the pen. Beau gets the long look because he's got a hot fastball, and maybe his Ks will eventually follow upward. Quote
Klondike Posted May 17 Posted May 17 2 hours ago, IdahoBert said: It feels like bringing Beau in is sort of like playing Russian roulette with a gun with only two chambers, but maybe he’s settling down. watching modern baseball can be frustrating. Olsen should have gone longer. Hell, with his pitch count could have pitched a shut-out. In the good ol' days a no-brainer. Especially, the way the pen has been of late. Hinch always has an early hook sans Montero.lol 1 Quote
RandyMarsh Posted May 17 Posted May 17 In regards to Olson being pulled it is now being reported that he left due to a "finger cramp". Don't know if I ever heard that one before. Quote
