Shouldn’t we be critical if he hasn’t “found himself”? Nobody wants to see him fail or under-achieve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger337 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Giolito is now injured and will miss at least a couple of starts. All the injuries to the White Sox staff are making the divisional title a realistic goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giolito will be back too, but once a pitcher gets injured, you don't know what's going to happen when he gets back. Pitching injuries have a way of lingering.

chasfh Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) This is happening tonight in Anaheim. This guy thinks this might be the explanation: Edited April 10, 2022 by chasfh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger337 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I think Goodrum batted third because the usual third place hitter Bregman was getting the day off and they didn't want to disrupt the rest of the line-up. That doesn't seem like a great reason to me, but managers do this frequently so they must think that is best for the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy thinks this might be the explanation: what if his previous managers only batted him third against bad left-handers? Stat would be be pretty meaningless then. There is always an issue of relying on statistics when you really have no idea what they are telling you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments last season optimistic that Victor would make the team coming out of spring training this year, were met here with dis-enthusiasm, so my post was mostly one of wanting to rub that reality into all the grouse's faces. Looks like I hit my mark, too. 😁 Nice triple today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what he'll probably do this year too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diaspora04 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Does anyone know if the May 10 games against the As are a "true" DH or merely a twinight? I cannot tell from the schedule posted on detroittigers.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutiger Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) It'll be interesting to see who they send down when Wily comes back... gotta be Hutchison right? Edited April 11, 2022 by mtutiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot tell from the schedule posted on detroittigers.com. Don't take this for gospel, but it looks like a "true" DH. My guess is that is because there is no time attached to it. Contrast that game 2 and no time stuck to it with the Twins' DH a few weeks later. There are times noted for both games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oblong Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 My tickets in my app for May 10 say TBD. I assume it's right after the 1:10 game. Is that the DH where the Tigers are the road team for one of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff Mayhem Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Okay kids, this has probably been answered but I don't have the patience to seek out the answer. If I, a resident of Michigan, subscribe to MLBtv, am I still blacked out for Tigers games? If so, would having a VPN effectively mask my location so that I could watch Tigers games on my device(s)? I refuse to pay for a tv service as we cut the cord five years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are buying VPN service expressly to avoid a sports blackout, that is what you are looking for, but just because it's a VPN doesn't necessarily mean it's somewhere else. My employer runs a VPN I have access to, but it's hosted here. It wouldn't do me any good for watching MLB.

Yes. and here's how to do it, if you want to watch it on your TV rather than a laptop: I was able to do this and successfully get the Tigers feed (i.e., Dan Dickerson) for this past series even though I am blacked out from White Sox (and Cubs) games on MLB.tv. NOTE: this will still not work for iOS devices (e.g., iPhone, iPad) since they use there own geolocation protocol that appears to defeat any attempt to use VPN to spoof location.

You would think that would make a difference, but maybe not....Haven't tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
