Montero MAY have given up a home run, Hinch says. It was HIS game to finish, it very well may have been a complete game shutout. It you watch, he claims it wasn't a gut decision. Uhhh...yes. it was. A good manager would admit he made the wrong call...Hinch refuses to admit he screwed up. And he did.

A weak offense and a horrible bullpen. This isn't because of injuries. Its all on roster construction, terrible manager decisions and players not performing. Sometimes changes need to be made just for change sake. Hinch should be replaced as manager. His terrible decisions are costing us games. Maybe a new manager could talk Harris into bringing in some Toledo players or making other necessary moves. (Trades)

Hinch says the decision to remove Montero wasn't a "gut" decision...just trying to get a win. He really isn't making sense. Ir was a PURE gut decision.

Is that on Hinch or on Harris for his roster construction? Is Hinch trying to get guys called up from Toledo and Harris wont do it? We really dont know certain facts but yeah, Hinch can only play with players he has available. But some of his decisions. IF they can backfire? Then they WILL backfire.

You think wrong. And don't blame me, argue with Google. It was a copy and paste job. And you sure like dropping things as you try to get a last word in. So yeah, drop it because I really, seriously, dont care about comparing meaningless stats between Walker and Gwynn. Who cares? Harris and Hinch both suck and should be fired. Makes fans with fot the Al Avila glory days...😅😅😅

Did he blame something else on McGonigle? I musta missed it.

But he let McKinstry face a LH pitcher. I just dont understand his logic...or lack of...

Now pit ballpark factors into consideration. Tony Gwynn was a generational player...Walkers success came in a band box at a mile above sea level. But...whatever..I really don't care. If Harris used stats to build the 2026 Tigers . .look at the results. Go ahead and defend him.

And there you go...swept.

Even if the Tigers had a shut down bullpen, I wouldn't take Montero out. Is he hurt? Thats the ONLY reason I would remove him.

We're not allowed to question Hinch or Harris. They're both much smarter than any of us and they have stats were not aware of. 😑😑

Jobe may be back in August and JV will get some starts. Justification for trading Skubal and Mize. .if Harris were to buy a book...

And it's a real cop out when you hear people say "well, the guy you wanted to trade for didnt do any good, anyway." Like anyone could predict future accomplishments. Making trades for established players shows that at least you're trying to get better. And never, ever, stop trying to get better. Its literally his only job.

Its just showing how bad it is cherry picking one stat over a lot of other data. WAR says they're equal? IDK, but if it does, it's a flawed stat.

They increased the payroll to ~$200 million and decided to tank? When Harris never makes any significant trades? No way, it's just very poor management, injuries and players not performing. A perfect storm of suckatude. Not going to go into a conspiracy theory level.....

An explanation of analytics used incorrectly;

No, using analytics is a good thing, used properly. Just like anything else, used incorrectly and it can be a disaster.

Hire Al Avila back. Did anyone notice Avila's guys helped us make the playoffs the last couple of years and as Harris constructs this roster, we've regressed to one of the worst teams in baseball? We'll easily lose 100 games. And with Harris' inability to make trades, Skubal and Mize will be walking with nothing but draft pics in return.

At least Brieske fits right in. Fans are too picky....

Running outta Avila players...<ducks>

Especially with 2 out. Totally cruel.

This is mind blowing. Just...unreal.

Popup. Strikeout. Flyout. Please?

Headed to Chicago?

Worst game of Kevin's career? 3 strikeouts
