I thought he struggled with his control tonight but he was just getting into a groove right before the Tigers extended inning at the plate. I think that hurt him. I agree with you though...Boyd should have been kept in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 "He's the right guy to get us out of this situation" HEY CRAIG, SHUT UP. THE HOMER-ISM IS SO FREAKING ANNOYING. He's the reason we are IN this situation, don't "'Atta Boy" him if he gets an out here. We honestly can't do better than this? Vierling saved his ass.

His control was lacking but he battled thru it with a tough lineup. It's hindsight at this point but Boyd at 70 something pitches vs our bullpen seems like an easy decision.

Edman85 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Regarding Boyd, he was skipped last time through the rotation in spring for extra rest. I don't have pitch data or anything, but possible he was out of gas. Coming back from injury and pitching in relief last year, the leash is likely short for a while. Regarding Cisnero, I don't get what they see in him. Regarding LHP vs. Yordan, ask Robbie Ray how that went last October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdog Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Hinch didn't want Boyd to face the top of the Astros lineup for a 3rd time. Of course, it backfired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hart Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) It's amazing what good defense can do for you. We saw it with Tampa against us and then we saw it in that inning with Vierling and Maton having a huge effect in opposite directions.

I am sure he got work in the background but he went a long time without facing live game action after the Tigers cancelled his last start.

kdog Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Decent inning from Englert. Anytime you get Yordan out it's a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I don’t know. Didn’t Miguel Diaz have a helluva spring? I swear I remember one of the later cuts had a SO9 of 18 without allowing a runner. Now, granted, I’m not not sure who he was pitching to, it could have been AA fodder. Cisnero had a nice 30 innings in 2020. Appreciate the effort, but time to walk away.

And Yordan looked like he was complaining to the ump about Englert's hold there -- but there was all kinds of time left on the clock.
