Sports_Freak Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 It's still early but Torkelson looks like a different, more confident, hitter so far. See good signs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 13 minutes ago, CMU97 said: It has been 40 years ago, at least. But does anyone remember the details when Sparky pulled Gibson mid inning because he made a mental mistake in the outfield? Seems to me that finally woke Gibby up and he stopped being a total ass (at least on the field) after that. Hopefully Javey gets the message. If I remember correctly Gibby misplayed a ball and got really pissed off and Sparky pulled him out because of how he reacted. I seem to remember that he didn't get pulled right away and when they came back in between innings Sparky told him to sit down and calm down or something like that. KG was not the best OF'er.

And he is the 1st to admit it. On the plus side, he could flat out run a lot of fly balls - but he couldn't go back to save his life. Used to play almost at the fence when he wasn't in center.

gehringer_2 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta out the foot down So, it’s interesting to me that the camera crews happened to catch Schoop stretching out in the dugout after this blunder. Was it just a coincidence? Good eye on the dugout and noticing a bit of unusual behavior from a bench player really early in the game? Good on Hinch for drawing a line. The home run trot out of the box might have limited the hit from a triple to a double (it was a weird ricochet off of the wall, so maybe it was only going to be a double anyway). But to be doubled off on a routine fly ball like that. I don’t think Baez is the true culprit of all the Tiger issues. He’s not lived up to the contract, sure. But I think a message needs to be sent to the entire team, and one way to do that is through one of its better players. The entire team need to pull its head out of its rump. If Hinch didn’t have their attention before, he’s got it now. Maybe they’ll still be out talented most nights, but damn, don’t make it easier for the opposition.
