  1. I'm a growing state of contradiction about Hinch. I'm pretty sure he's as good with a bullpen as anyone I've seen. He consistently gets performance out of guys that have no business being in the majors, but as more players continue to do well in AAA then fail in Det, and more young promising players come here from other system's and fail, I just have this growing feeling that somehow - whatever the parameters of the 'system' Hinch is using, it's killing his hitters.
  2. Riley's having a tough week.
  3. IDK, throwing's not like hitting, you don't need some kind of gift. He maybe doesn't have the genes to be Dwight Evans but practice and proper conditioning and any athlete should at least be able to throw more consistently than Akil.
  4. Kreidler probably the 3b glove possibility, but he's not here.
  5. Dan says Hinch's arg against playing the line is that he doesn't want to defend foul ground. Well, if your 3b is not a 3b and doesn't have great 3b range, than maybe you *aren't* defending foul ground playing the line?
  6. Baddoo had TJ before he came to the Tigers and I've always wondered if because he's "just an outfielder" if he didn't do the really hard rehab work a pitcher does to bring it all the way back.
  7. Dan defending Maton not being closer to the line, but that ball wasn't hit hard and Maton still didn't cover it.
  8. He was probably trying not to do what he usually does, which is make a totally out of control throw, but he waaaay over compensated.
  9. Not much of an effort by Maton and another weak throw by Baddoo. Really it was Baddoo's weak throw. Get it there on less than 2 hops and they have a good chance to get Mateo.
  10. ERod lowers his WHIP to 0.84 for the season.
  11. Anyone else think Cisnero deserves a day off today?
  12. A bunt and an IBB in the same game. Almost makes me feel young again! 🤣
  13. Spence, hit it a little further next time ,OK?
  14. well, Tork's had a couple of decent ABs . Another chance at redemption.
  15. Retro baseball makes its appearance. a Bunt.
  16. There have been a bunch of low hit games the last few days. I wonder if the league sent the Umps a "call more strikes" directive after some of the football scores we were seeing and they have overdone it - or at least this crew.
  17. Which team has a player get tossed fisrt for blowing up at Marhley?
  18. Umpiring is just getting stupid now. Neither team may ever score if this K zone continues.
  19. Rodriguez perfect after 5. If there ever was an offense that could lose a game when its pitching was perfect, this is it.
  20. Scales talking about Riley needing to hit the ball out front more, but he's not going to be able to put the ball in air if he tries to hit is further out front unless he lowers his bat path. The two go together.
  21. This team must have insulted all the favorite wives of the chief baseball god.
  22. Ironically, I bet if Riley would level out his swing just a bit, a little he would hit fewer ground balls. That much inclination puts him on top of the ball if he's infront of the pitch.
  23. Meadows on base in front of him.
  24. yeah - even though Tork saved his AB with a walk, he also had good pitch to hit and fouled it off, as did Riley in his AB.
