It's hard to for even good teams to win both ends of a double header, thus by converse, is easy for even bad teams to be able to salvage one.

RandyMarsh Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Tigers offense finally catches a break when Harold's dribbler bounces off the 2nd base bag and gets away from the SS, unfortunately Baez who was on 2nd wasn't running hard the hole time and got thrown out at home. But wait as I type this they overruled the out by calling catcher's interference. So 1-0 Tigers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtutiger Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 It's the right call based on the rule.. honestly impressive that Baez made it that close to scoring on his own considering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtutiger Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Opposing pitchers may want to lay off the low 90s FBs at the top of the zone against Carpenter lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) After only scoring 8 runs on the road in the 1st inning the first 4 1/2 months of baseball, the Tigers have now scored 4 in the past 2 days.

Hart Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Maybe we just need to build a ballpark that fits Carpenter's home run swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) I get major Rick Porcello vibes watching Hill from the CF cam. Not necessarily his stuff or anything even though the low 90s FB is similar but just the way he looks, his profile and some of his mannerisms.

1984Echoes Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Kerry Carpenter does NOT want to go back down to Toledo. If he has anything to say about it... (Like with his bat...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) There was about a 2 week period early this season when it looked like Reyes might be hitting the ball a little harder, but you watch him now and it's the same old thing. He has plenty of hip rotation but his lower half is so far ahead of his bat that the lower half drive is all spent before he swings. Hopeless I guess.

RP was around the plate so much that when his FB slowed or his break got lazy the pitches were right over the plate where they could be mashed. Hill's pitches are all over the place - resulting in walks but it may keep the batter a little more off balance if he can keep the walks reasonable.

1984Echoes Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 About 2 seconds after I called Barnhart "Tucker Mendoza" he went 1 for 3, then 3 for 4, and now 1 for 2 today... I think he's reading my posts in here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 How do you get 6 IP of 1 run ball from Garrett Hill? Other teams must looks at the Tigers and marvel at how a bad team can turn any sow's ear of a young arm into a serviceable silk purse MLB pitcher. Avila should get credit for having built an org that seems to do pitching development as well as anyone. And it does us no good because the hitting is worse than the pitching is good. How you can build such a totally unbalanced org? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
