kdog Posted October 2 Posted October 2 Greene's struggle against lefties and the fact that nobody makes contact anymore. It was a daring bet that Jones could hit a single...they strike out a lot and there is no power tradeoff. I can live with no contact if they occasionally run into something. Quote
roarintiger1 Posted October 2 Posted October 2 (edited) Just how many men did Riley leave on third base this year with less than two outs? I think he could've had at least 30 more RBIs if he just puts the ball in play anywhere instead of striking out. The Tiger's reluctance to take slumping hitters out of the lineup down the stretch was inexcusable. We should've seen a couple of those minor league players come up for a few games. There is no reason why that couldn't have happened. If Tiger management thought that staying with what they had was good enough, they were proved wrong. Edited October 2 by roarintiger1 Quote
Arlington Posted October 2 Posted October 2 I thought for a moment we might have the perfect platoon in Greene and Carpenter, and then I realized they are both left-handed. Not sure what to do with Greene. Pinch hitting for him made all the sense in the world. Quote

I think this is just one of those weird baseball things. Almost everyone slumping at once. The team is getting more spin and maybe some of that is that they have been playing Cleveland so often lately? I do not buy a whole team slumping at one time - for nearly two months with the exception of just a few games. That is beyond a weird 'baseball thing'. There is some reason(S) for it. They are swinging at far more pitches lately out of the zone it seems and that comes with getting more breaking pitches. The more you chase them - the more you will get them. Part of that is pressing, part is pitch selection and thinking fastballs. I am sure there is more. Anyways, they got past Cleveland, regardless of First place or not, bye-week or not - they are right were they could of been with a 'best case scenario' at end of year. In the Division series (exception home field for a game). Seattle will be a tall task regardless for for Detroit (or Cleveland if they had gotten to play them). Quote
Arlington Posted October 3 Posted October 3 In the end, Cleveland didn't thwart Detroit. Their true victims were Houston who didn't make the playoffs at all because of them. Quote
