He is not in the top 5 hitters at risk.
-
That’s what this season is about now. Seeing if the rookies can develop in the majors….determine how replaceable tork is if he hits like a jag. meanwhile, the pitching will be fine aside from a few blips like the 9th inning.
-
I don’t think they are going to sacrifice ‘development’ for short term roster improvement. They would only go down if Harris and Hinch think that major league at bats are hurting their future. someone is going down when Ibanez comes back.
-
Nobody is giving up on Tork. You probably have to lower his ceiling significantly now. If he can be a jag first baseman who hits 25-30 homers that would be good.
-
Holton wasn’t going to repeat last year lol…but he can still be pretty useful.
-
And a low babip. Sometimes the batted ball outcome ends up poorly.
-
Tigers staff also had a low strand rate
-
That home run was just terrible batted ball roulette…low ev and barely over the wall.
-
Meadows has struck out 10 times in his last 14 at-bats. I think we have reached the breaking point.
-
Aside from 3-4 games out of 21, every outcome has gone to the late innings where either team could win. If they could ever get separation on offense, we would be in business.
-
Urshela to IL; Buddy Kennedy is called up.
-
Colt Keith has a 50% grounder rate on batted balls. The first step in his development is finding a way to normalize that stat.
-
-
McKinstry and the catchers are not competitive at the plate.
-
Another tie game in the late innings...we don't have enough of these.
-
Another Tommy John surgery:
-
Greene gets the night off in 30 degree temps.
-
Clark has two more singles...contact rate is up. Next step is power.
-
They are 10-9 to start...I'm not even worried about the 'competition' in the division. They won't go anywhere until the young hitters figure it out. There are no sweeping changes to make.
-
It's a flawed team with limited offense(by design). They need to win on the margins with pitching and defense until some of the offense shows itself. The margins stuff was bad today.
-
Tigers are 4-5 in their last 9 games with the majority being close and late outcomes....it's fine.
-
Maeda was terrible no doubt. Aside from game 2 Saturday, every other game in the past 10 days has been a coinflip late.
-
Bullpen is going to get overtaxed if you need them to pitch high leverage innings every day.
-
high scoring games are fun!
-
Tork and Carpenter flipped.
