He's clearly in a hurry to get outta Dodge. I've got FOUR pitches vs. the Tigers that weren't even close, but called strikes. A few vs. Sox hitters too. 1 Quote

gehringer_2 Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 you wouldn't know there have only been 8 hits total in this game. Quote
Tigermojo Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 28 walks for the Tigers so far in this series. Quote

That seems to be one of Harris's big themes and he did get rid of most of the players that can't walk. Still only average for the season, but they were LAST in 2022. On the pitching side, they have allowed the second fewest walks in MLB. Edited May 28, 2023 by Tiger337 1 1 Quote

I don't think you want to have your offense be too dependent on the other side's pitchers missing because there will be a lot of days when they don't and you have to have ways to be in those games too.

This has to be the biggest reason for our improvement this season. We haven’t had a legit, high OBP lead off hitter in a longtime. Quote

There will also be days when you don't get a lot of hits. In fact, it's easier for players to consistently get walks than to get hits. Average is OK, but above average is better. Above average contact is also good. Quote

Tiger337 Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 One of the rare times lately that the Tigers bullpen couldn't keep the lead late. Quote

Still can't hit lefties, but the Tigers like to platoon so they can carry a hitter like that more easily than they could in the past. Quote
