  1. Keith didnt get those AB's this year. Splits don't tend to stabilize until you get 1000 or so against LHP. Meadows and Greene have defensive value, so you stomach the platoon split. Carpenter doesn't.
  2. Must have missed him giving Riley Greene and Parker Meadows every day AB's against LHP... Or Keith last year.
  3. I think he's pretty good, so I'm not the one to ask about this. Knows analytics and player dev stuff.
  4. Bobby Scales.
  5. Illitch spent. They took on money at the deadline to lessen the prospect capital. Morton wasn't cheap. Nor were Paddack or Sewald. And they took on Dobnak's abomination.
  6. Tigers 50.3% to win the division now 🙂
  7. Bailed out by the Monster twice tonight... The Tigers were momentarily favored in the division before that double when the Rangers went up 7-2.
  8. I've got the live fangraphs odds in a spreadsheet... Will let you know the moment the Tigers are favored to win the division. It's currently Cleveland 52.6%.
  9. Also, if you lose the challenge, it's a strike. The reward for winning the challenge is not worth the risk.
  10. Why doesn't Apple have a scorebug?
  11. Watch Severance while you are at it.
  12. I got selfish reasons for wanting to get the 5 and pass Boston... A series against Toronto/New York is more likely to be prime time.
  13. I hereby decree Biff stays on game threads until we lose.
  14. I... actually do. Because the schedule works out that Skubal can pitch game 1 of the ALWCS, followed by games 2 and 5 of the ALDS. Weather can foil that plan though.
  15. It looks like home field advantage is worth a 3% bump in win probability per game. So you are increasing your chance of winning those games by that amount if you even win, but decreasing it by going with Skubal over bullpen day in one of the three games. I think the math for winning says save Skubal. The math for revenue says try to win the division.
  16. If the wild card is clinched but the division is in play, what would people do here? I say save Skubal.
  17. Against the team that passed them no less...
  18. 2003 adjacent...
  19. Anything with spin is just a problem.
  20. No rain delay upskirt from Johnny Kane tonight...
  21. Just sharing my bsky here since it answers the question.
  22. Anybody's feed crap out right before the homer? Errr... I guess it wasn't a homer, but a 2-run single.
  23. I think you have to go back to Game 3 against the Orioles in 2014 to find me as angry about a Tigers game as I am now.
  24. Kinetrax or similar technologies make it easier to learn how to face off against certain pitch shapes.
  25. If you have an organization that relies on teamwork and personalities maximizing performance, the slightest bit of distrust could permeate. I also suspect 6 all star bids also may have added some ego to the mix that wasn't there. Final theory: the league caught up to some of the pitch design things that Fetter and Co. had been doing.
