I should'of been DFAed long ago.

Yay Miggy!  Can't wait for another season of this.

Javy, Haase, and Tork hit it hard.  That's good to see.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Schoop jack!

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

oh, man, Baddoo got ahold of that, too. just foul.

[sabretooth]

Eduardo looking sharp.....I would like to see him recover that 93 MPH average on the 4 seamer from previous seasons.

[sabretooth]

...and just like that his 4 seamer jumps to 92.6 to 93....nice

[sabretooth]

Dangit.....not a nice throw by Kriedler or pickup by Tork.

[sabretooth]

Again, the velocity on the 4-seamer is down in the 90-91 range and he's getting hit.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

frick. Javy was robbed.

[SoCalTiger]

Ya he was. 
 

And Miggy looks not too good. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

nice DP!

[sabretooth]

Eduardo.....6.6% swinging strikes.....7 k/9.....91-92 MPH 4-seamer.....ineffective Changeup.

If this is the new Eduardo our rotation is going from bad to near non-existent heading into 2023.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

sweet, 4-3 Tigers on a Baddoo stolen base + catcher throwing error and a Greene SF.

[RandyMarsh]

Yeah E-Rod has not looked good, lets just hope it's because of the crazy year he has had and not something that is going to continue going forward. 

[RandyMarsh]

Javy fouls off two 99mph FBs at the top of zone before K'ing on the slider low and away, I swear I don't know why pitchers even bother throwing something other than that slider when they get him to two strikes.

It's like catnip for him

Yeah it's weird that he can never lay off of it no matter who the pitcher is. I know it's a tough pitch to lay off of cause pitchers make a living getting guys to chase that but he just can't lay off it to save his life. He obviously doesn't have the eye sight to pick up any differences in spin but with 2 strikes you think he'd just pick a part of the plate, if the ball doesnt start in the inner third than just lay off of it cause it's probably the slider out of zone, if you end up taking a called third strike so be it. Yes I know it's easy to say behind the CPU but it just seems like there has to be a way to help him with that.

Tork RBI double! nice insurance run.

Tork finally gets rewarded for a hard hit ball, laser to LF for a ground rule double to score Castro to give the Tigers a 5-3 lead.

He's cut down on his strike outs this year, which is nice, but he also has cut down on his power, which is not nice, and for whatever reason, he continues bafflingly to swing at this one terrible pitch.

Buckle up for Soto Time.
