  1. Interesting. Have assumed so far that it was mostly about Keith's move to 2b blocking him there.
  2. any kind of background noise at all about trying Jung at SS? It seems like a if a guy can play 3B he's got some arm, and if he can play 2B he's got a little glove, and your system's need for a SS is close to dire, it might be worth at least an audition.
  3. 383 is reasonable HR if you pull at least to the power alley - if you are to the center field side of the power alley you have no real complaint until you've hit it more like 400' a home run in exactly 1/2 (15) the parks says nothing more than that you play on an average field If there is one thing Hinch needs this team to do it's stop making excuses for themselves and start hitting the ball. he needs to stomp any player self-pity about the ballpark dead. Hate to hear that kind of crap.
  4. Henning is such a tool. 383 is not a HR in any CF anywhere and he certainly should know that. What's so ridiculous is that he's been in every major league park countless times, its absurd he makes statement that people will rely on assuming he's giving them reliable reporting when he's not.
  5. been a depressing week for this team. Today I can take. It's one thing to get stoned by Verlander when he has it all working, or even losing ugly and knowing there is stuff you can fix, but continuing to fall just short of the mark in close games and have no answer is more the downer.
  6. all we need now is for Torkelson and Greene to hit in the same ballgames. In the last 7, Tork is at 320, Greene has gone ice cold to 138.
  7. they won the 9th inning.
  8. walking a guy down by 8 is just about as bad as walking a guy up by 8.
  9. well, Lange can't throw strikes today, Wentz got hammered, Foley has a problem, Maeda to the DL. The pitching is going to be gone before the hitting ever comes around.
  10. Interesting contrast - Verlander did give in to Torkelson with the middle-middle FB but Took couldn't get on top of it. EDIT: could get high enough on the line drive either......
  11. LOL - Verlander gives Carpenter three breaking balls and has him losing his bat. actually not sure why you bring JV out for the 7th, but whatever.
  12. Lose by 1, lose by 10 - If you don't score it doesn't matter much.
  13. Verlander when the curve ball is on is no sin to have trouble against, but that's no excuse for all the other poor offensive days.
  14. Verlander didn't give in and walked Greene. Lets see if that is a better decision.
  15. I think we are at the point today where pitchers at too reluctant to walk guys when they should be willing to. Flaherty had pretty much llost that AB at 2-0, completely at 3-0, tip your hat and the give the batter 1st base and live to fight the next bat
  16. LOL - "Verlander's not 1.1 to home" 10 seconds later Colt is out by 5 ft.
  17. Kate is still waiting for the perfecto.
  18. IDK if Keith is getting as fast a Schoop was on the pivot, but he's not doing to badly.
  19. everything working for JV today. Just like old times, except for the uniform.
  20. LOL - definitely a bad decision there - he was out by at least 6 ft.
  21. LOL - this should be bookmarked as a future 'most likely outcome'. What I really love is the juxtaposition within a single season of suspending the National Championship program's coach for getting advanced scouting from one guy buying single tickets for friends with iPhones because advanced scouting is so expensive that we have to outlaw it or we can't maintain a level playing field, and --Oh, by the way - remember you need to raise an 8 figure sum to pay your players next year or we will probably re-organize our conference without you.
  22. Inflammation of the ERA
  23. We need to keep running down Tork. He's on his 1st 5 game hitting streak of the season.
