Dtrain72 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) Nice win, but am I the only on disturbed by Lange's performance? That was extremely brutal...it's not like he was giving up hits, he was literally un-pitchable/dangerous. I get guys have bad outings, but he's fallen off as of late, and today was beyond the pail...wouldnt be surprised to hear he's "hurt" and goes on the 10 day DL after this.

RatkoVarda Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 against the "best" team in the division, take 3/4 and could have very well been a 4-game road sweep, which is really rare when they play good teams, they are going to look bad, but they are doing well against their peer group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports_Freak Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Tigers have to call up a long reliever for tomorrow with Olson starting. Just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lange hit both batters with curve balls but it seems the more over arching problem for him recently is he can't throw his FB for a strike, and once guys start waiting for the curve they can hit it with some regularity. And it's not even inside/outside command on the FB, it mostly just that he can't bring it up a little - he keeps putting it at guys' ankles, Edited June 18, 2023 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The results seem to out pace his peripherals. If there some special sauce in the way he hides or spins the ball? Or is he destined to have his results regress?

I think he'll be a good platoon DH, extra outfielder. He made a good throw home from short LF to prevent a run in the 8th. Looked good. But yeah, he's a bit shaky on flyballs.

But yeah, he's a bit shaky on flyballs. As long as he is the 1st or 2nd best hitting OF on the roster, I'll live with his left field play. If the time comes we have some OF's that can provide more total wins, then we can worry about it. My team building philosophy would always be to first concentrate on replacing the bad players with decent ones, then worry about trying to upgrade the decent ones to top tier.

Jim Cowan Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 His career reminds me of JD Martinez and I am hoping that the improvement continues to the point where you have to keep his bat in the lineup, and you live with his glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
