This.

Finally, a hard hit grounder gets through for TORK! Once he learns to consistently lift the ball, it's gonna be watch out, world.

Then Walls at third allows Miggy's routine grounder to hamstring him. Come on, boys, make 'em pay!

[SoCalTiger]

Miggy beats one out 😊

Of course McKinstry is the hitter with men on base.

[SoCalTiger]

McStinky

Methinks there's gonna be alot of "of course 'fill in the blank' is the hitter with men on base" this season.

[kdog]

This guy is going go play a lot?

Keith and Parker Meadows making the team this season are the kinds of things we've taught ourselves not to hope for too much.....

[mtutiger]

What on earth?

[SoCalTiger]

Riley take command 

[Dtrain72]

Tucker Barnhart play against the Yankees in 2022 was far worse

That misplaced flyball probably cost Turnbull an inning in this game

that's part of the cost of playing everyone and their brother at 10 different positions in ST added to the WBC. How many innings have Greene and Baez played on the same field this spring? Baez at WBC and Greene spent half the spring out of CF.

True, but thinking Kreidler or McKinstry becomes a regular is another one of those things!

Tigers are just cursed. Two shots - two outs

They can't possibly be as bad an offense as last year...they can't possibly be as bad an offense as last year...they can't possibly...

[SoCalTiger]

Baez looks better so far after zero time of course 

[SoCalTiger]

If your going to hit him mean it.

They arent being rewarded for hard contact, at least on eye test for sure 

[SoCalTiger]

Nice play Meadows 

[kdog]

Tampa's hard contact is finding gaps and now runs.

[gehringer_2]

on a two strike count again.
