mtutiger Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Really nice win for the boys tonight... but they still need to hit better in leverage situations 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtrain72 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Now THATS how you bullpen AJ! Hinch has restored my faith in him tonight...did ALL the right things and wasnt milqtoast. And the team is better without Baez. Edited April 14, 2023 by Dtrain72 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it really matter which game you win? Hinch would say doing it his way he had a chance to win both. If the pen would stop imploding they will justify his strategy. We'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cowan Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I want Jake Rogers to catch 130 games, bat .240 with 22 home runs, and play stellar defense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it is a strikingly beautiful bird, most people don’t realize they are actually one of the nastiest, unfriendly species in the bird family. They don’t play well with others and are aggressive to the point of attacking other birds even going so far as to bite their heads off. Despite their regal appearance, Blue Jays really are the giant assholes of the bird family. This meaningless bit of information will probably be more memorable than anything you see during tonight’s game. I've seen sparrows gang up on a lone bluejay bully. They drove him off.

gehringer_2 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 This game was an interesting example of how bad umpiring can be without causing much ruckus. The strike calling at the plate was atrocious but he was favoring each side about equally. If you got screwed on a call you could wait for the make-up -- which wouldn't take long.....

I record the game and then watch when I can. Last night I didn't start watching until a bit after 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strike zone was all over the place thias whole series, for both teams...it's almost like the threat of robot umps has made the human umps actually worse 🤔 Edited April 14, 2023 by Dtrain72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 The called 3rd strike to Schoop late in the game and called 1st strike to Bichette in the first inning were two of the lowest called strikes Ive seen in awhile. If the TV k zone is to be believed they basically looked like they were damn near a foot below the zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dramatic hyperbole aside, the Tigers will be a better team if and when Baez plays like 2017-2021 Baez. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romad1 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 With a better bullpen the tigers won that series. Weird. They hit so poorly w/risp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 So yesterday afternoon I saw a tweet referring to a Tigers play... "Oh, they're on? Makes sense, getaway day". I put on Bally's. I'm working so just 1/3 watching, no sound. "Man, this game is moving fast, 7th inning already?. Aw man, they've got the bases loaded in the 9th.... no way they are winning. Losing 2 extra inning games on the road.... isn't terrible I guess" Yeah I thought the replay was the real game. So them winning is extra meaningful for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 13 hours ago, gehringer_2 said: Maybin has a great background for doing color because he was a very skilled player who could do everything on the field - he just basically could never stay healthy enough to have more than a journeyman's career - so he has that perspective too. Good blend. I think "Cam" is great, basically as good as Alex Avila is. I would be very happy to see him be the permanent analyst on radio. I would also be happy to see him become TV analyst once a new PxP guy, one who actually knows baseball, is hired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigers can get out from under Baez the player any time they want, but they can never get out from under Baez the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says more about the Tigers than about Baez, but I think WAR captured his performance well enough. What part of WAR do you think didn't work for him? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
