To me it just isn't worth trying to get cute and get the rare pickoff in situations like that. Ortiz has to realize who he has playing 1b also. Carlos Santana is not exactly Mark Teixeira over there. If you aren't sure of your throw, don't make it to Santana. Edited May 17, 2023 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Riley has pushed his BA over his last 120 AB over 300. Getting close to being more than just a hot streak by a mediocre hitter. Has to be the best stretch of his career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Lorenzen looking like the steal of the offseason. 5 hits for Torkelson and Greene. 2:14 game time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cowan Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Yeah Lorenzen is exceeding expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 We also got to remember that Lorenzen started the year on the injured list and didn't end up making any minor league rehab starts, he was thrown straight into the fire and in turn got lit up his first couple starts, if you discount those then his numbers look even better.

If he'd had half that many playing those years in the US he'd still be at ~3700 - so he could easily have been challenging for 4k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theroundsquare Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Tork and Greene are looking better but I'm still looking for more power from Tork in particular. I don't mean to rain on anybody's parade or downplay their improvement but the Tigers need power from 1B and we're still waiting on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger337 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Both are injury risks, but as long as Lorenzon and Rodriguez are on a roll the Tigers should not suffer any long slumps. Both have been pleasant surprises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I agree about the power, would definitely like to see more from both Tork and Greene but what they have been giving us is alot better than they were so it's a step in the right direction. But yeah if they never hit for power they are going to need an obscene BA and OBP to really be the impact players on offense that we hoped they would be.

I don't mean to rain on anybody's parade or downplay their improvement but the Tigers need power from 1B and we're still waiting on that We're not waiting for power from Tork, just a little adjustment in elevation - he already hits the ball plenty hard enough to put in the seats. But I don't want to be too impatient. Hitters develop. He's just come off a pretty disappointing season. Let him get his on-base tools working consistently. Once he's a more comfortable and experienced hitter that little additional lift will probably come naturally as his timing gets better. The one thing I don't want anyone to do is mess with his swing - it's a thing of beauty as it is.

LongLiveMaroth Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Tork is hitting .300 with an OPS of 820 for the month of May. Need some of those doubles to become HR but he certainly looks better than the beginning of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Solid, workman-like win tonight. This is how good teams routinely win games, and we are playing mostly bad teams into at least early June. The next few weeks has the potential to be a very fun stretch of baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 BTW this win moves us back into 2nd place, could be there by ourselves if the White Sux hold onto their 6-1 lead over the Guardians. Also the Twins are facing Kershaw and the Dodgers later tonight so if things go right we could be just a game back in the loss column come tomorrow morning.

Not sure this is the pitcher, but Elledge can be moved along if a better option becomes available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
