  1. Correa sitting on that curve ball. Tigers got some major BaBIP luck there.
  2. yeah - that too. sadly the candidate at Toledo currently, Lipcius, doesn't look like he can handle 3B either.
  3. Or McKinstry. He doesn't have the greatest glove either but at least his arm is relatively reliable.
  4. the thing is, he neither throws well nor fields well, can't catch anything to his right at all. You might at well be playing Torkelson there as Maton. What is the point of beating the dead horse? Even if he starts to hit you don't want him at 3B. Guys don't often turn into better fielders at 27
  5. and Maton deliver's the inevitable error under pressure. I'm done with him.
  6. Bringing Short into the game is a the perfect opportunity to upgrade the D in the late innings, but Maton still at 3rd trying to lose the game.
  7. Tigers don't make the Twins pay for bad baserunning and it cost them a run.
  8. Absolutely. It's true that guys that can't handle the velocity side reasonably well normally won't get past AA, so we don't see them. Though a few do get all the way to the majors before finally being exposed - e.g. Christin Stewart.
  9. BTW - something Yzerman has a lot of 1st person experience with.
  10. another 2 hits for P Meadows tonight. 916 OPS for June, but still can't get the K rate under 30%. That's his last hurdle, but too many guys founder on it.
  11. 2nd time in two nights Cabrera tried to sneak it past a fielder waiting for him up the middle with men on base. Got to try to do a little more than that Miguel.
  12. The road out of the Majors is littered with guys who could hit the FB and never adjusted to breaking balls .
  13. I'm sure MN would rather not have DeLeon hurt, but this also going to leave Lange to get iced.
  14. I'm glad Harris sees all the progress that Maton is making in his process. That and 5$ will get him a Vente.
  15. Have I remarked in the last 5 min that Maton is no 3B?
  16. Marisnik hit it hard, and a slightly better AB by Torkelson - but nothing comes of it.
  17. That's why I'd rather draft a guy with great spin on his FB than his slider. If your fastball is great, your off speed doesn't have to be - it will still work. If your off speed is great, that's nice, but you will still get hammered when you have to throw your fastball. I don't think Avila ever understood the difference.
  18. never throw a hittable pitch 0-2, dummy. EDIT: only cost him two more pitches...
  19. Shreve gets two RHH on ground balls, give up a 425' shot to the lefty. Go figure.
  20. They have 3 on the board, but in terms of batters hitting baseballs in any useful way, this is their 11th shutout.
