RandyMarsh Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 After beating the Giants who eliminated us in 2012 we get to exact our revenge against the team that dumped us in 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) looking like a long night for anyone on the Tigers' side of this game. 4-0 Texas with one out in the 2nd. 2 homers off of Alexander.

gehringer_2 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 still irritated they didn't give Norris the opportunity to keep starting and slide Tyler back to the pen. That scheme might have failed, but this one was guaranteed to. Tyler's OPS against 565 as reliever, 791 as starter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's getting better results as a reliever this year, but that seems to be driven by a lucky/low HR/FB% as a reliever. If you normalize his HR/FB ratio as a reliever this year, his SP/RP peripheral/splits look pretty similar to previous years, which didn't show a lot of separation either way. Also, last year, he had a very nice run as an SP. Doesn't seem as cut/dry to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems to me if you are going to bother bringing in a guy who you think might be able to turn it around a little based on starting, then you should start him. Norris' problem has always been repeatability. It seems to me extended outings are far more likely to help a guy maintain body discipline than putting him back into relief. Granted Norris was a low probability play from the get go, but if you make the play, and he has two decent starts, why do you pull the plug on it? It's just more indication to me that the people running this team are just ad hoc'ing everything. I just see no sense of commitment to any kind of planning/strategy.

Yes, 2 good starts should mean a 3rd start, and not a trip to the scene of previous failures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting points about repeatability.....seems like the advantage of being in the 'pen is pitch focus/mastery, and that never materialized with Norris, so maybe his best fit is being a starter.

At the beginning of the broadcast Dickerson was optimistic about Cabrera because he was hitting the ball hard to left in BP. Another hope goes a'glimmering.

sabretooth Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Willi has mixed in some really dazzling defensive plays in the last 6 weeks or so. His D numbers are still not good, but he seems to no longer be a defensive liability like he was last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
