gehringer_2 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I can't even understand what Haase thought he was looking at when he threw the ball, there wasn't even an out to be made at 3rd at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You figure last yrs pixie dust was going to fall away at some point... Heartwarming story, occasional power, but I don't think he gets 400 PA's on a good team. Heck, he might not even be on a good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCFKNIGHT Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Why are Avila and Hinch allowing this junk mediocrity to continue? Make some damn changes to this current roster. There is just no sense of urgency with this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was literally no reason/play at 3rd base, it should have been an easy play for any MLB player that didnt go full baseball rtard...and yes, Haase went full baseball rtard; like shouls get demoted to AA from that play alone baseball rtard.

Bring up Kriedler and Celemens for 2nd and 3rd base...demote Candy to Toledo, Schoop can ride the pine while whichever of the Kried/Clem get's some games under their belt at 2nd. Not sure what to do about catcher, guess it'll have to be a Barnhart/Garnaeu rotation for a bit. This team def needa a shake up, and only a few weeks in...gj AL.

kdog Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Jake Rogers was ready last year to become our long term catcher. Then he gets Tommy John. Now we have Haase(inferior defender) pinch hitting for Barnhart late in games and have to suffer the consequences. And Haase isn’t even delivering the isolated power he showed last year(SSS).

If Haase were hitting, he's shown enough in the outfield where I'd be ok with him out there, but it comes down to the bat with him.

RatkoVarda Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 if Hinch wants to carry Garneau, the time to play him would have been after Hasse PH for Barnhart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really dumb roster construction when all 3 catchers kind of suck. Really dumb. Keep Haase, he can play some other spots in a pinch (probably better than catcher), but his role is platoon catcher, not the myth of this versatile guy.

Jim Cowan Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 If they are so fixated on keeping Willi on or around the team, and I don't blame them for trying to rediscover that .900 OPS bat from that short season a couple of years ago, then teach him to put on the tools and be the emergency catcher. It's really stupid to carry 3 actual catchers. Or do it with Harold, I don't care. But 3 catchers who can't hit, that is failing some sort of sanity test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good point but G2's point rings true. Can a manager in that situation place Hasse in for Miggy at DH and Garneau at catcher ? Is that within the rules ? That way if Garneau gets hurt Hasse can catch and we lose the DH. I hope they stick with Hasse. It is still very early. Tough to come in the ice bowl after warming on the bench for 8 innings. It freezes the brain. True. We saw it tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalTiger Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 So in the morning we wake up in the cellar but only two games out in the loss column with 146 games to go. We're going to be fine. We have the depth. Baez looks like a star, Meadows a solid contributer and Torkelson the real deal. Again just need to tighten the defense and get to warm weather. I bet they break out in LA of all places. Patience grasshoppers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCFKNIGHT Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 We should all be upset withA.J. Hinch and his cookie cutter approach with the Tigers bullpen. Michael Fulmer was already in the game and pitching well, and I believe managers should not name a designated closer for all 9th inning save situations. I’m beginning to realize Hinch doesn’t care about game situations and strategy. Also, Al Avila is too comfortable in his job and with the Tigers overall play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casimir Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Am I reading the box score right that Fulmer threw only 5 strikes out of 13 pitches? And, if true, there is a "thought" to keeping him in the game? Haase's throwing error is glaring. 1 1/3 IP of only 9 strikes in 29 pitches is inexcusable. And let's be honest, outside of two shots off of Baez' bat, are the Tigers even pitching in the bottom of the 9th? Look, its easy to pinpoint one play, but it ain't like there isn't plenty of blame to throw around to numerous players for numerous reasons.

There's not much maneuverability around the diamond, and so there aren't options to sit a struggling bat an extra day or two (which, OK, all the bats are struggling, so I guess this is a bit of a silly point).
