Faedo - 17 CSW on 58 pitches...10 whiffs.

We are still at 0 homeruns combined for Grossman and Meadows. Grossman's homer total last year was a career outlier. Meadows has done most of everything aside from slug.

That was a perfect spot for Tork to drive in a run...and he just couldn't do anything.

Grossman has another multiple strikeout game while complaining to Hackosky about the fences; Baez has hit into two double plays. When Cabrera is your best hitter, etc.

Grossman has a .188 slugging percentage in his last 15 games.

the firing would be performative and correct. I don't want him being in charge of extracting value from this roster at the trade deadline.

Firing Avila is performative. It's also a way for the parking lot king to deflect his role in this disastrous rebuild. They didn't do anything aside from tanking and drafting high. And drafting by nature is not a sure thing. Their player development team was lead by a losing dinosaur who was only removed in late 2021. The owner froze spending and left Avila to his own devices to find efficiencies outside of the draft. Instead, in year 5(or 7), we are relying on the Castro brothers, Eric Haase, and other sub replacement level players to fill out a roster. It's somebody's fault that every hitter is broken. I don't know who to blame specifically. But in year 5(or7), I was hopeful that the major league product would be better. And with their track record of developing and promoting players, do they have much credibility that any of these prospects will succeed over the long term?

We started last year 9-24. One game improvement if we win tomorrow. The turnaround was fueled by dominating the Royals.

72 mph grounder to second for Meadows on a slider.

A's pitcher went slider, change, slider to strikeout Grossman. A guy who strikes out that much without the slugging is useless.

The tigers will deliver shutdown innings to the opposing pitchers anytime they need it.

Is promoting Clemens for Tork a 2022 move or a 2023 move? They shouldn't do anything to try and save this season. It's all about saving players.

The Tigers main outfielders have 2 total homeruns. It is staggering that we are 31 games in and Grossman/Meadows are both at zero homers. That's a system failure.

Hinch checking his opt-out:

If we had a good general manager, I would love to trade Fulmer, Soto, and every guy not nailed down. They need a lot more talent to compete.

They will have to write down Cabrera's contract for 2023. All of the milestones are done and he clearly can't hit.

Man I didn’t think it was possible that they would be close to the 9-23 start from last year. Steer into the tank and continue with the rebuild….hopefully with a new executive in charge.
