    I very much agree, but it's taking forever for everyone else to figure it out.

    17 saves. Even in this day and age, the save stat is still looked at as very valuable. My personal belief is that they are keeping him as closer to get him as many saves as possible so that they can get a high return at the deadline. Although Avila will be the one making the deal.

    Higginson was at his peak when I became a Tigers fan and there wasn't much else to be excited about. He was by default my favorite player until the Tigers became competitive.

    You mean the reliever they forced to pitch like a starter without properly stretching him out got injured?

    I was just about to post the same thing. Very high chance they don't play tonight.

    If Meadows were healthy and hitting like he did last year, most people would still be ok with the deal, even with the way Paredes is hitting. The fact that Meadows and Paredes went in opposite directions make the deal look much worse than it actually is and doesn't help Avila's reputation of making terrible trades.

    There's kind of a trend here. Eugenio Suarez and Willy Adames are both above average hitters. Why are the Tigers giving up on their middle infield talent?

    Baez is hitting .387/.424/.936 with 4 HR, 9 RBI, and 2 SB over his last 8 games. Streaky hitters are streaky.

    It's pretty straight forward. There's a group of anti-vaxxers out there and he is clearly pro-vax. COVID-19 may have made it political, but this was even the case even before COVID-19.

    I think the biggest takeaway is that you shouldn't believe everything you read (whether it's on the internet or not). Alwas get a second source. I believe it was also Lynn Henning that threw Dave Dombrowski's hat into the ring as a new commissioner candidate when Selig retired. I could never get a second source on this one and therefore I never believed that he was ever considered.

    Isaac Paredes has 8 home runs, 16 RBI, and a 130 OPS+. Austin Meadows has 0 home runs, 11 RBI, and a 99 OPS+.

    I always disliked the park as a fan. It's way too open; you don't have any shade from the sun/rain. It's very poorly designed. But I'm fine with the dimensions. And I absolutely hate the merry-go-round. It's completely out of place for a ballpark.

    He constantly makes bad in-game decisions but no one points them out. Last night they are winning 1-0 in the 9th and he just leaves Soto in there imploding. You consciously used 3 position players to pitch in yesterday's game to keep the bullpen fresh only for you to not utilize the bullpen when one of your relievers doesn't have it. He claims he doesn't use old-fashioned roles for his bullpen, but when it comes to actually managing the bullpen, he makes the same do-or-die by the closer mistake as every other manager. Sure the offense was horrible like every other game. But that was a winnable game and Hinch blew it.

    I still find it a bit suspicious that Correa wouldn't take a bit less money to play for his former manager again, especially after that lunch meeting that they had. Seems like Correa has a big ego. And why is everyone so confident that Correa would have the same numbers in Detroit as he does with Minnesota considering the criticisms of Scott Coolbaugh? For all we know, Correa wouldn't be hitting any better than Baez is hitting if the Tigers would have signed him.

    Tell that to Joe Girardi and Joe Maddon.

    Pretty much. Inter-league didn't start until '96, so he was 33 when he got his first PA.
  17. bobrob2004
    Roger Clemens had 0 home runs and a .261 OBP in his first 26 PA. His son, Kody Clemens, has 0 home runs and a .160 OBP in his first 25 PA.

    Funny how someone can be called a "bust" at age 21 while hitting 115 OPS+. Tork is only 22, so I have confidence he'll eventually figure it out. Castellanos didn't have a good season until his 3rd. I think Tork will follow a similar path.

    Why even have a hitting coach then?
  20. bobrob2004
    A lot of our veteran hitters are hitting way below their career norms. What changed between last year and this year? Is it all due to not having juiced balls? Is Coolbaugh doing anything different than he did last year? Doesn't someone have to be held accountable for the lack of offense?
  21. bobrob2004
    Too many people looked at Trout, Harper, Judge, Soto, Guerrero Jr., and Tatis Jr. and now thinks every rookie is going to hit like them. Torkelson is clearly not in their class.
  22. bobrob2004
    If they continue to play .643 for the rest of the season, they'll finish with 91 wins and a chance at the playoffs.

    That's like $200 M each for a pitcher and hitter.

    Angels aren't afraid to fire a former World Series winning manager.

    I remember Ernie Harwell was announcing that game on tv. He had already retired, but was filling in for someone.
