chasfh Posted May 28 Posted May 28 From the MLB app this morning: These April surprises have held up in May The Tigers’ offense is legit Much like last year, when the Tigers made a shocking late-season turnaround to reach the playoffs, their pitching staff appeared to be the clear strength of the team heading into 2025. After Detroit fell short in its pursuit of free-agent third baseman Alex Bregmanover the winter, the club entered the season with much of the same lineup that scored the 11th-fewest runs in MLB a year ago. But while the Tigers have again been effective at run prevention, it’s not the pitching that’s driving their rise to the top of the AL standings -- it’s the offense. (OK, Tarik Skubalhas been pretty awesome, too.) Getting unexpected contributions from Spencer Torkelson, Javier Báez and Zach McKinstry, Detroit’s offense ranks fourth in the Majors in runs per game (5.07) this season, and only the Cubs and Dodgers have scored more runs in May. 1 Quote
chasfh Posted May 28 Posted May 28 So many fans wanted to fire the hitting coaches all last season. I thought it was more a lack of talent thing. Turns out it was a little of that, plus talent needed to develop and/or get unlocked. A lucky month here and there doesn’t hurt. I wonder how much influence Gleyber Torres, a hoary old 28-year-old veteran professional hitter, had on the other guys, in terms of professional approach to the job and whatnot. Quote

Probably having a positive impact. The guy takes a lot of pitches and doesn’t seem to get fooled much. Especially earlier in the season, I felt like the top of our lineup was skilled at running up pitch counts for the opposing starters. And if you have guys being more patient to take a walk or wait for their pitch, you end up with more base runners, which only helps the subsequent batters in the lineup. Miggy always said that VMart provided him with protection which led to him seeing better pitches to hit. Quote

IdahoBert Posted May 28 Posted May 28 When I didn’t hear Dan on the radio in the car on the way home, I just assumed he was on TV. Quote

IdahoBert Posted May 28 Posted May 28 So tomorrow’s a travel day and Tork and Javy sit. AJ knows better than me. He’s a Stanford graduate with a psychology degree, neither of which are distinctions I can lay claim to. Quote
Sports_Freak Posted May 28 Posted May 28 Malloy looked like a DH trying to short hop a sinking line drive in RF. Quote
IdahoBert Posted May 28 Posted May 28 They’re not doing the pitch clock thing on FanDuel anymore at the bottom of the screen. Quote
romad1 Posted May 28 Posted May 28 Can't get the MLB audio to work...my network at work is terrible if it rains as it has been doing all week. Quote
romad1 Posted May 28 Posted May 28 when you see multiple hitters k swinging you know the SP for the other team might be on a heater. Quote
kdog Posted May 28 Posted May 28 What happened to Jake Rogers offense? I'm just looking for a .650 OPS. Quote
