The official term is Extra Inning Placed Runner (XIPR pronouncer zipper). Whatever you want to call it, I don't watch innings involving free runners. It's not baseball.

romad1 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Can I just say that the quality of the Youtube broadcast on a 4k screen is spectacular. Directv sucks for image quality for these regional broadcasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romad1 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I particularly appreciated the wide-angle view they showed during half-inning breaks. The actual ballpark experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candy's homer would have given us a 1 run win, since our BP was shutting down the Twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports_Freak Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 If we ever get healthy, even a bit at a time, we could be pretty good. I'm actually surprised at how well our depth at starting pitching is doing. As well as the BP. They're keeping us in the games, it's the offense that's been the problem.

UCFKNIGHT Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Today, the Tigers got a nice win. Overcoming Hill’s play at the plate and Miggy’s strikeout. Two horrible calls by the umpires. Edited May 26, 2022 by UCFKNIGHT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind healthy Gibby. His sardonic delivery sort of works for me. I like Craig a lot. Dan Petry should do more game color. Do we have any other 2006 era Tigers who could be on screen/radio?

RedRamage Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Is it time to rethink how Replay works? I mean on the replay it seems pretty clear that Hill was save. I think you probably could make the argument that the evidence isn't 100% conclusive, only like 90% conclusive. And (I think) the rule or guideline being that it has to be clear evidence that the call is wrong to overturn it... then it's probably the right call to say that the evidence is at least semi-questionable so stay with the call on the field. But here's the problem: Who has a better view of the call? Multiple camera angles that can be zoomed in and slowed down? Or one umpire who's got one view at real time while being tripped up by the runner? I think the idea that we assume the call on the field is correct unless we have iron clad proof that it's not is the wrong direction to take these days. We have better and better cameras, we have multiple angle, we have access to quick replay. I think it's time to say that if a call is challenged that the replay reviewers assume nothing. They judge the play purely on what they see. In the unlikely event that the replay people really can't decide THEN go with the call on the field. But when the point of replay is to get the call right, let's get it right. Right now replay review feels like a criminal case: there has to be proof beyond a reasonable doubt to overturn. I say it needs to be a civil case: Whatever the preponderance of evidence supports is the call that should be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tigers could get Billy Ripken and Herschel Walker to do the games if they want, and as long as I can layer Dan Dickerson on top of the video, it’s gonna be all right.

chasfh Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 One of the things I liked about the radio broadcast yesterday is that whenever Craig Monroe trotted out his jock talk crutches—“he’s a professional hitter”, “he just knows how to win”, “he gives 110%”, etc.—Dan would respond with silence.

I can't remember exactly what he'd said but they ere statements along those lines. Dan also responded with silence when, with a 3-0 count on Eric Haase with one out in the ninth, C-Mo said something like, "Would I give him the green light on 3-0 here? You bet I totally would" in a heh-heh-heh-type voice, sorta like, yeah, E-money, you a playa, kick it. We can't see Dan's eyes during the broadcast, of course, but they might have rolled just a little after that one.
