chasfh Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Normally that’s the left fielder’s ball. but when it’s a choice between Javy and Willi … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) I still like the IBB here. Force at home is a lot easier than a tag. And javy doesn't let Willi near that fly ball. No reason for your surprise at all Craig. Edited May 24, 2022 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) That wasn’t Baez’s fault. There wasn’t a double play to be made on that ball, and he couldn’t have gotten up and thrown out Kepler at the plate. The Tigers played a strong game today—that was just another dollop of bad luck.

The grand slam was the kinda thing that could have knocked out a young starter and yet he stayed in and pitched reasonably well for the following four innings. May have earned another start by default lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manning on the schedule for tomorrow with the Hens, best case scenario Rodriguez and Wentz each still get one more start, though they do have two off days week after next which should help.

Which of these things doesn't go together? It was always safe to assume that Grossman would regress some from last year, didn't expect him to play this bad. Almost feels like him turning around is a prerequisite for more offensive production. Especially with him leading off every game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casimir Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Just to add to the choice of reliever discussion, I would go with the best available RP. It doesn't matter if its the closer, the stopper, playing match ups, whatever. I don't think the Tigers have any RP worthy of designating a closer/stopper right now. Chafin is probably as good of a choice as any. I know some folks would argue to hold the closer (which the Tigers may have in name, but he's hardly shut down) until the Tigers (as the road team) get the lead when the game gets into the 9th or later. I have no problem bringing that best pitcher into a tie game in order to get to the next inning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think that in past discussions there have been many participants here who think that "bullpen roles" like "closer" are stupid. It's another case of the "role" having to be filled even though the appropriate player is not on the roster. It is analogous to Hinch wanting Tony Phillips on the roster and somehow thinking that Harold and Willi and Haase can meet the requirements. If Mariano is on your team well then yes by all means have a "closer", but if he isn't then don't assume that Gregory Romo can magically attain the same results.

Maybe we can blame Willi Castro in the OF purely on AA, but I doubt it. and Harold Castro's May OPS is under 600.

The difference is Chafin’s track record is better and as you say, it didn’t work out this time around. But I am glad to see the Tigers fighting back from the early deficit. Shades of later 2021.
