Interesting article, but I still think offense will increase soon. If it doesn't they'll juice the ball up again.
-
That is true every Spring, although probably a little more this year with the shortened spring training. The home run rates and batting averages across baseball will go up soon.
-
Game 1 will be a slugfest. Skubal and Montas are both on my fantasy team.
-
The home run rate so far is the same it was back in 2010-2014 when the Tigers had good teams! The ball is not the problem. The Tigers are the problem.
-
Dead balls are good for the game. If there are really dead balls this year and it's not just a weather thing, the Tigers will need to adjust long term. MLB will surely liven them up though.

Twitter is like google search. It's great if you know how to use it, useless otherwise.

I expect to get through life not really understanding crypto.
-
The eyes matter as far as knowing which players are struggling/thriving at a given moment and thus likely to perform different from their averages. I don't know how much insight a manager can have in detailing with a situation has never happened before though.
-
If something has never happened before, I think a manager can only guess what's going to work though and how many wins is that going to amount to in a season?
-
I don't think a managers job is so much risk analysis or game theory. The analysts can figure that out better than a manager. It just requires more detailed analysis than we are used to seeing. I think a manager's job is less risk analysis and game theory and more trying to figure out when a given player is not up to performing as expected in a given situation.
-
I agree there is not much a manager can do without players or even with players for that matter. It's the players. I need to see what the team looks like once Green, Torkelson, Manning and Mize reach their potential before I decide that the franchise is doomed. And I do realize, there is a good chance we'll be disappointed by some of the results.
-
I don't think I ever said that, but I might have though it. Jack Morris is even worse though.
-
If the Tigers are under .500 for the ninth straight year, fans will probably start blaming Hinch.
-
I had high hopes for Mark Lewis when he got off to a great start and still had an OPS of over .800 in mid-June. He fell apart after that.
-
He took them to 75+ wins or they got lucky last year? I don't think he's the problem. Players win games, not managers. I am just amused that every time something good happens, he is a genius and every time something bad happens, it's Avila's fault.
-
I don't think a full national ban will happen until the Republicans are completely in charge which right now looks like 2024.
-
Should of traded for Adames! The Brewers got him for very little and he has been on fire since they got him. Of course, it's very possible that Avila made an offer and the Brewers wanted something else.
-
I think utility is Clemens ultimate role anway, so it wouldn't be a waste to find out if he can handle that role. Chances are he is another Castro, but it probably wouldn't hurt to give him a shot.
-
A hard throwing right hander who won't be ready for three or more years and then gets hurt when they call him up.

If Epstein wanted to be a GM, he'd be a GM. He wouldn't be sitting around waiting for a call from the Tigers. I think his focus is an MLB consultatnt strategizing ways to improve the sport.
-
Well, at least Schoop got a hit.
-
It works like this: Hinch was a genius last year when things were going well, but April was not his fault. This season is not his fault either. It's Avila's fault, but if they get healthy and start playing well, it will be because Hinch is a genius.

Giving the fans their money's worth.

What kind of person walks through the mud and rain to watch a Trump rally?

I brought that up a while ago and was lectured as to why it was impossible and would be a bad thing, but I am with you!
