I can't remember who the player was, but I remember seeing a clip of them doing one of these interviews and the players dad was just completely wasted.
-
The Tigers recent history of drafting and developing pitchers is pretty good though.
-
I know the big question for Pacheco was whether he'd be able to make enough contact for his power to play enough in game, but a K rate of 20.3% is certainly promising in that regard.
-
Keith was ranked higher preseason and has performed better at a higher level, so I'd say he's still clearly ahead of Pacheco.
-
Honestly, is anybody even successful without at least a 93+ MPH fastball anymore? Off the top of my head I can't think of anybody.
-
Meadows has started to turn it around at Erie after struggling initially. Hitting .300/.342/.557 in the last 19 games.
-
The data they were discussing only applies to prep pitchers, so at least the Tigers have only spent two top 10 picks on them since 2016.
-
What are the odds Smyly gives up four runs if he pitches the inning? Just stupid to have a bunch of guys come in to pitch with a four run lead. Just have Smyly pitch the inning and you'll get to the 9th with the lead.

Cleveland never needed any type of rebuild, they just had cheap owners. They had a team built to compete for the next five years with a bunch of young talent and just decided to blow that up.
-
What have the Royals rebuilt to?
-
They deceive you, he walked three times.

One thing I'll say about Torks struggles, is that it is not like he's completely lost to the point of being hopeless. He's still showing a good approach at the plate. A BB% of 11.8 and a K% of 26.9 is not great, obviously, but it's workable, and really not out of the line for a reasonable expectation of his rookie year. Bart had a K rate of 45.4% in 108 PA, Kelenic 37.5% in 96 PA, Adell 34.5% with a BB% of 3.4% in 87 PA. Those guys were sinking while Tork is treading water. He's at the point where he needs to face ML pitching, he's not gonna get any better doing that by hitting AAA pitching.

Yeah I definitely agree there's no reason to keep trotting him out there going forward.
-
Absolutely kills me that they can't get any variation in the ads when you stream.
-
Grossman is a career .247/.350/.380 hitter. Last year he hit .239/.357/.415. I really wouldn't classify his performance as some big fluke, pretty normal variation.
-
Even Vladdy Jr. was only a slightly above league average hitter through his first two seasons (183 games). A lot of Blue Jays were calling him a bust.
-
Of course. Hopefully nothing too serious. Hope to see both him and Perez get some time in AA this season.
-
Worth noting Pacheco has a .793 OPS in Lakeland, which is good for a 130 wRC+.
-
How many pitchers have had it and returned to form? I was under the impression it's pretty commonly a death knell for pitchers.
-
It sucks the Cubs also had to be cheap, otherwise we could have gotten the Quintana return for Verlander.
-
I mean, an ISO of .027 is still appallingly awful.
-
Might be because if it might be because he's set to start twice this week, so a shorter rest than normal before his next start.
-
Always remember the time Dmitri Young missed out on the cycle because he hit two triples.
-
I assume he'll be moved up Tuesday. May or may not play tomorrow before the off day.
-
Well, what exactly do we mean as serviceable? Is it a 3rd starter, or a BOR guy? Is it a 1.5-2 WAR, or a 2.5-3 WAR guy?
