monkeytargets39 Posted October 8 Posted October 8 Taking Mize out at this point would be dumb. So I expect him to be done. 1 Quote

Mr.TaterSalad Posted October 8 Posted October 8 17 minutes ago, Tenacious D said: Wonder if it is a bit demoralizing for the pitchers? How can it not be? When you are out there pitching your ass off and you give up 2-3 runs at most and that is a hole your lineup can't dig itself out of, I don't see how that isn't demoralizing. You basically have to try and pitch flawless baseball every time because the lineup behind you is filled with the likes of Kimera Bartee, Melvin Nieves, and Paul Bako. 2 Quote

monkeytargets39 Posted October 8 Posted October 8 When you swing at everything, there’s no incentive for the pitcher to throw anything in the zone. I don’t think a single pitch to Carp was actually a strike. Quote
lordstanley Posted October 8 Posted October 8 (edited) One Tiger pitcher baserunner through 3 innings. This is the Tigers’ 7th playoff game and they’ve scored a grand total of 2 runs in the first 3 innings of those games. Edited October 8 by lordstanley Quote
Sports_Freak Posted October 8 Posted October 8 Unless big changes are made, this is a 100 loss team. Every position, except maybe catcher, needs improving. Quote

I expect AJ to panic and go to Holton early even though Mize is pitching fine. Then Holton will get no more than 2 innings and we will have to rely on Montero/Kahnle/Finnegan to get us through the next 3 innings—which won’t go well. 1 1 Quote

Who says the Holton innings wont be bad? 1 Quote
monkeytargets39 Posted October 8 Posted October 8 I don’t understand the no confidence in Mize. He’s considerably more consistent and effective than Flaherty and most of the bullpen. 2 Quote
Sports_Freak Posted October 8 Posted October 8 Throw Seattle a pitch off the plate and they take it. The Tigers swing for the fences at...everything. Quote
tiger2022 Posted October 8 Posted October 8 Hinch working his magic again. Takes out Mize after 3 innings. Quote
lordstanley Posted October 8 Posted October 8 Holton gives up hits to first two hitters he has faced. No reason he has to be in there so soon. Quote

Tiger337 Posted October 8 Posted October 8 I don't like to be critical of Hinch, but that was a really quick hook. Mize was doing fine and it's not like they have a great bullpen which is going to shut them down for six innings. 1 Quote

Just ask him, he'll tell you so. Quote

Hinch deserves way more responsibility for the state of this team than he is being given. 1 Quote
