When he’s seeing the ball well he’s fine, but otherwise there seems to be a big hole in the swing when he’s not. He’s pretty streaky in that way. He actually has well below average swing length, 57th shortest out of 230 players and has the 3rd shortest on the Tigers. Edited May 25 by RandyMarsh Quote
GalagaGuy Posted May 25 Posted May 25 I don't get how Kahnle can get away with throwing change ups all the time. Isn't the whole point of a change up that it's supposed to fool the batter into thinking it's a fast ball? If the batter knows it's coming, eventually they're going to tee off on one. Quote
Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted May 25 Posted May 25 ugh, lucky break there with non-heads-up baserunning. Quote

chasfh Posted May 25 Posted May 25 I don’t think that run scoring was Tori’s fault for making the throw. I think Rogers tries to make the play too far in front of the plate. Although I will say it’s difficult to get a runner out at the plate from the right side of the field. Quote

That’s true if Kahnle hangs one. Quote
monkeytargets39 Posted May 25 Posted May 25 I like Kahnle, but we are way overusing him. I feel like he’s the kind of guy that if you see him once a series, that’s enough. Quote

I know you can't block the plate, but can't Rodgers stay behind the plate and let the ball come to him? Seems that would have allowed him a better chance of making the tag in time. Quote

RandyMarsh Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Kahnle is basically a knuckleball pitcher except it's with a "changeup". 1 Quote

GalagaGuy Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Looking at the schedule for the end of September, 6 of the last 12 are against Cleveland. Yikes! Quote
GalagaGuy Posted May 25 Posted May 25 1 minute ago, chasfh said: It might, although they run into the probability that the throw will hit the runner before it gets to the catcher. The throw was coming from first though. I can't imagine that being an issue. The only real issue I see is it greatly increasing the odds of the catcher getting run into. Quote

monkeytargets39 Posted May 25 Posted May 25 If ump review isn’t mandated next CBA, the players should strike Quote
Adullin Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Wow umps really pushing for hus replacement with **** calls like that. Quote
