Tampa Bay Rays (57-50) at Detroit Tigers (43-66)

Win two for Lou!

[Jim Cowan]

Manning is through 3 innings on 43 pitches.

[Tigerbomb13]

Tucker Barnhart has a .498 OPS and a grand total of 6 XBH (all doubles) well into August. Not just bad, but historically bad.

frick

[1776]

That’s enough for Manning. Excellent outing but call it day and go to the pen.

[1984Echoes]

6 shutout innings, 82 pitches... what happened that he's being pulled...?

Nope. And I agree with the decision... the bullpen needs some rest

[1984Echoes]

So nothing happened to him (just confirming...)

They just pulled him for a short (pitch count) outing?

Yeah, I'm good with that.

[1984Echoes]

Aaah.. that's NOT Happening.

He's still in...

I was wondering what CCG's "frick" comment was on and 1776's surmise on calling it a day for Manning.

Misassociative worrying.

[1984Echoes]

If he makes it through the 7th however I think it's time to make a move to the BP...

I wonder if they will do the opposite of what they've done with a lot of our younger pitchers and try and get him as many innings as possible, prepping for the 2023 season?  He's missed a lot of time this year.

[Tigerbomb13]

Encouraging start. Especially nice to see him miss some bats. 

[Hongbit]

His control has been pinpoint today.   Painting corners with fastball and perfect accuracy on sinker and slider.  I made the comment in his last start that I didn’t think Manning had the stuff to be  successful if his fb sat at 92 but that’s out the window if he can have this type of control.

He can bring a lot more heat than that.

But if he's being pushed to NOT max out the MPH and it results in a lower speed FB but ALSO this much better control... that's probably a winning formula. And I am sure he can dial it back in when he needs to throw a 4-seamer at the top of the zone...

[1776]

Manning has pitched extremely well today. I would have been happy with six innings and 80+ pitches in that he is just back in the rotation and getting back up to par. I’m just wanting to see these guys stay healthy first and foremost. 

[Dtrain72]

Wouldnt be surprised if Schoop doesnt even make an MLB roster next season....maybe as a bench/backup player, but tbh, he f*cking sucks real baaaaad at this point in his careeer.

Manning finishing the year strong would be such a big pick-me-up going into next year.

Same with Skubal.

And Eduardo.

And Brieske.

These guys are all short-term outs, unless I'm mistaken. All back before September?

Hill too for that matter, although I think he is still breathing in our rotation...?

[Dtrain72]

3 shitty pinch hitters for 3 shitty hitters in a row is peak 2022 Tigers 

[Dtrain72]

Daz still sucks

[Dtrain72]

Soto walking a guy who would even be too shitty to make this Tigers roster is also peak 2022 Tigers.
