Valdez sure gives up a lot of HRs for a ground ball pitcher

He has been a disappointment so far.  Not Zimmermann level disappointment, but not what I was expecting.   In the past, he has usually gotten into a groove where he is dominant for a long time.  Hopefully, that is in his future.

Carp smokes a ball off the 1B and gets a 2-run single out of it. 4-3 MIN

Wow.   The Tigers sure paid a lot of money for their 4th-best starter.       He's just not very good.   

[Dan Gilmore]

Framber threw an inning and then waited an hour and a half for the rain delay before his second inning.I give him a break for today, although he has been pitching below my expectations.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

nice stuff from McGonigle again.

[chasfh]

A couple of really good plays ina row from McGonigoggles. Not bad for a minus defender.

made all the sweeter when Clemens followed them up with a double.

Yup. That would be unfortunate since they are going to have to play him or trade him. Would another team take Keith at $5M/yr without the Tigers picking up part? Probably not as he is now.

Colt Keith isn’t going anywhere.

That describes his season well.  

He is just 24 though, so there is still a lot of time left to figure things out.

I don’t get what you mean here?

I would be really surprised if we do not keep him through 2029. I think he would have to continue his abject collapse for the rest of this year plus maintain the abject collapse throughout 2027 plus continue the collapse well into 2028 before we just eat the rest of the contract. Otherwise, Keith would have to be crowded out of 3B and 1B by better long-term options right now for us to actively shop him.

if he hadn't made the excellent plays, guys would have gotten on, and Clemens's double would likely have scored someone.

Yeah, I mean, in the spirit of anything is possible, it’s possible that Keith could have a sudden and immediate turnaround to become an above average hitter this season yet. But since we’re in the middle of the season and not in the offseason or spring training, I don‘t know how Colt can find the time to work on a different approach and commit it to muscle memory, if that’s what it’s gonna take.

102 EV on his last AB but no elevation.

Got it, thanks.

I think I remember reading in the spring that Keith reworked his swing so he wouldn't get off to another slow start? Whatever he did, well, he started out good but not doing so well recently.

if he would have hit that one in between guys instead of right at a guy, it might have been a triple. Even that exact hit ball had a .440 xBA. So that hit was simply unlucky, not a fail. There are bigger issues he needs to work onto change things up, it’s just that in the middle of a season, there’s no time, so in the meantime he has to try to keep his head clear and just do the things he’s worked on properly to get results. 

[Sports_Freak]

Sommers looked pretty good his last couple of outings. Not so much tonight.

[Sports_Freak]

These AAA pitchers are so inconsistent. Disaster of an inning. I guess we kinda know who is going down to Toledo later in the week?

[VegasTiger]

That escalated quickly.
