    I don’t know that their approaches stink, with the exception of Baez. They just lack talent.

    AAA is beer-league softball this year.

    What do you expect? Six of the guys in today’s lineup have an OPS+ below 90. Another is a rookie heading in that direction. Any semi-competent MLB pitcher can handle a lineup like this.

    Point of clarification on MSU. This one had nothing to do with the good old boy network. Nasser targeted athletes coached by a woman. He got away with it because no one at the university really cared about the gymnastics team and, more importantly, he was able to abuse with near impunity under the guise of a procedure many in his field deemed medically effective. He even duped the FBI.

    They can't all be Miggy I guess. In his prime with the Tigers, 2008-2016, Cabrera had one month below a 100 OPS+ (93 in 2015) and an additional three months below 110 OPS+. He had only four months in a 9-year period where he had an OPS below 800. Remarkable consistency.

    The things you learn playing this game, like Phil Cavarretta, who played a million seasons with the Cubs, never had a 100 RBI season.

    All things being equal the benefits of bringing Malloy and Keith up for the final 3-4 weeks of the season far outweigh any further developing that they might do in that time period in AAA. But the 40-man roster issue overrides everything.

    Tigers allow 4.6 runs a game over 3 games. That is the league average for runs scored. Hopefully soon, like next year, when the pitching holds the opposition to league average in runs over 3 games the Tigers will win 2 of those 3 most of the time.

    Why is Monroe on the radio?

    I'd like to think Harris will work to add pieces that will raise the ceiling over the next two years.

    The record is bad. The run differential is ugly. But the vibe is much better, probably because there have not been many 2-8 stretches and for the most part the guys counted on for the future I've made progress.

    Those early games count in the standings but that the Tigers have played mostly .500 ball since then also tells me something. If they had started 8 games over .500 and played 15 games below .500 since then that would be also tell me something. Ones more positive than the other.

    Greene, Tork, Carp 0-11. Ballgame.
  14. SeattleMike
    As go Greene and Torkelson as go the Tigers I guess. Combined something like 2-30 over these last three games.
  15. SeattleMike
    Wild because he has 980ish OPS this month.
  16. SeattleMike
    TV stat showed Tork 0-19 with RISP in August? Wow.
  17. SeattleMike
    If Baez is killing it for the first 4 months of 2024 that would very likely mean the Tigers are close enough to the top of the division that he won't be traded.
  18. SeattleMike
    Keith 3-4 with HR. 888 OPS.

    The International League this year is ridiculous. You look at those Toledo numbers and assume they would be at the top of the IL . Instead they are middle of the pack. Juiced ball? Robo umps? Lousy pitching?
  20. SeattleMike
    In hindsight what an incredibly ill-fated move. I was agnostic about dumping Candelario and you probably can't assume it would have played out exactly this way, but 5 more wins puts the Tigers just a game or two out of first place.
  21. SeattleMike
    I agree with many that the Tigers desperately need to add two starting pitchers this off-season, one if they extend Erod.
  22. SeattleMike
    If Baez could just get back to being a 95-100 OPS+ hitter he would be a 2-3 WAR player, assuming his defense stays strong. Maybe they can figure something out with him during the off-season.
  23. SeattleMike
    Or...once Miggy retires none of this will matter.
  24. SeattleMike
    Check Tork's splits.
  25. SeattleMike
    A game over .500 since the All-Star break, almost entirely on the backs of Greene, Tork, and Carpenter, and to a lesser extent Badoo (at least on offense). Easy upgrade to offense next year will be to get some power from the DH position (Malloy?).
