IdahoBert Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Kevin leading off most of the time has 26 RBI and Torkelson and Carpenter have 29. Kevin does not have the best hitters in baseball filling the bases before him to knock in. Hmmm… of course Carp has been injured, but still… Kevin is good. Quote
IdahoBert Posted June 20 Posted June 20 So they’re wearing home whites today? No Detroit Stars uniforms? Quote

monkeytargets39 Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Oh good, we pulled Carpenter out in the 4th inning. That won’t be a problem later Quote

CaliforniaDreaming Posted June 20 Posted June 20 I like AJ, but...the past 3 seasons the Tigers have been so streaky. I wonder if their long losing streaks are caused by his unwillingness to make significant changes, even temporary, to his system and his players. Yes, there is something to be said about being loyal to your players and your system, but there is also great value in seeing when something/someone isn't getting the job done and and making a difficult decision to change. Jones is the current example. Last year he was great in his pinch hitting situations and the data might still declare that pinch hitting in the 4th inning is the best decision, but how many times does Jones need to fail and how many games does he need to cost the team before acknowledging that this isn't working? 1 Quote

Or at least try the strategy with someone else. Quote
