    I don't want to see Clark up for his defense. I want him to be called up when he is ready offensively as well as defensively.
  2. Tiger337
    He was starting at the beginning of the season and had a OPS of .641. His lifetime OPS is .691. He is also an excellent defender. Who was going ro replace him if sent down? I think we found out the answer to that.

    Another injury which nobody is talking about is Meadows. Everybody was complaining about him and saying that he sucked, but he was an excellent defender and he hit a lot better than half their line-up is hitting now. Their offense and defense was a lot better before all the injuries.

    So, you're saying they have a chance?

    I see some Padre bias in here! It's pretty general all along and then all of the sudden it throws in a Larry Walker/ Tony Gwynn comparison. I think someone was upset that Gwynn and Walker have about the same WAR. 😁

    They were 18-17 before the injuries piled up and they can get back to being that kind of team. However, I think they have fallen so far that it's going to be really hard to recover.

    That sounds pretty extreme. How about three regular starters and two bullpen games? The 3-3-3 rotation. 3 regular starters and 2 games where 3 pitchers pitch 3 innings apiece. That leaves 4 full-time bullpen guys and the 6 3-inning starters can also pitch in relief in another game.

    What do mean getting away from starters altogether?

    They cheated?

    I wouldn't want to have to choose between a Nazi and an an authoritarian enabler. Tough choice for the Mainers.

    I saw yesterday that Riley Greene hits better batting 5th than 4th. So, today he's batting 4th. Stupid Hinch.

    Yes, the offense is bad and is setting up the bullpen for losses, but it's still an unusual proportion of blown saves . The bullpen needs to shoulder some of the blame.

    For me, It's not seeing it happen in person, that is worse. It's being surrounded by opposing fans, the vast majority of which care a lot less about baseball than me and watching them go insane when it happens.

    They have 7 walk-off losses. If they won all those games, they would be at .500. More realistically, they have 15 blow saves. Last year, they converted save situations at a 65% rate which is close to league average. If they had the same rate this year, they would have 9 blown saves. So, they possibly could be 2 games below .500.

    I think it suggests they have had poor situational hitting and pitching...which most of us have noticed. I don't expect any changes for now. They are kind of stuck until they get healthy.

    What are the Democrats running on other than being anti-Trump? I mean that's good enough for me, but it's not going to win any elections.

    According to baseruns (the # of runs a team should have scored/allowed based on H, BB, HR, etc), the Tigers should have scored 4.05 runs per game and allowed 4.09. That would be a 28-29 record. Bad sequencing on both sides of the ball. https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/pythagorean-baseruns

    Not enough difference in velocity between pitchers perhaps?
  21. Tiger337
    Edman has a theory that teams have picked up on some of the bullpen "magic" they have use in the last couple of years. He may have a point.
  22. Tiger337
    I think he is liked because Avila was bad and because Harris is their first real analytical GM. I definitely like that they have moved in that direction. However, I am not sure whether he is a cooker cutter analytic GM or whether he will prove to be one of the good ones.
  23. Tiger337
    And they often have a difficult time admitting their mistake. Just like a real person.

    I remember 1976 being a really big deal. That is all anybody talked about for a couple of years and I was excited about it. After that, I remember thinking, I am going to 63 when the next big number comes and that would be really old! I don't feel THAT old, but I couldn't care less about 250 for the reason you said.

    The injured players are not stars, but the guys replacing them are so bad that it has the same effect as losing stars. The injuries have mad a big difference.
