The right hand might have touched the bag (before the tag), might not have. Really, really hard to tell looking at the camera angles we saw. Without clear evidence it should have stood as called. Agreed. And I never saw a synced replay of where Dingler crossed the plate with the run that didn't count. Quote

Yeah, and I guess Hinch alluded to that in the on-field interview just before that when he said Skubal’s outing yesterday kept some bullpen arms rested. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted October 1 Posted October 1 (edited) Will Hinch push (at 29 pitches thrown) Holton for the two out of three lefties at the top of the 6th? Edited October 1 by gehringer_2 Quote

The advantage was we would have had 2 runners in scoring position and a base hit makes it a 4-1 game. They won the most games in the league over a 162 game stretch from last August by being agressive - don't change it now in that situation - just like Cambell shouldn't change it early in a game in the playoffs. If it's the 9th inning, same situation, then it's a different story. Agreed. The same when Cora sends runners home and they get thrown out. It's worked many more times than not. We just remember the failures. With that being said? I wish Zach would have strayed at 2nd base. 😅 Quote

He let up when the throw wasn't coming home. Edited October 1 by MichiganCardinal 1 Quote
gehringer_2 Posted October 1 Posted October 1 two batters, 2 full counts, 1 walk. So far so good. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted October 1 Posted October 1 remember when McKinstry first came to the Tigers and was a dead red FB hitter that couldn't handle anything with spin? The wheel has turned completely - it's the FB he struggles with now. Quote

Whether it’s the 9th inning or not. It’s been that way with most of these games with Cleveland. I think you have to play it like a one run game. That being considered, the risk didnt outweigh the reward. They completely changed their philosophy on sacrifice yesterday and it paid off because the situation called for it. I think the same should’ve been true today as the situation called for it. Quote

Any strategy that has better outcomes on average, may not have a higher probability of success in any specific combination of conditions. That's what you pay a manager to figure out.

Sports_Freak Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Javy has had at least 2 hits in 4 straight games. 1 Quote
gehringer_2 Posted October 1 Posted October 1 so he's going to take his chances with a RHP against Jose. Quote

GalagaGuy Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Finny in the 6th, what is Hinch cooking up here for the later innings? Quote
gehringer_2 Posted October 1 Posted October 1 (edited) adn then he gets squeezed on a perfect pitch. EDIT: but it only costs him one more pitch. Edited October 1 by gehringer_2 Quote
