chasfh Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 Did Bally really just make me have to look at Trevor Thompson instead of showing me the play?? Quote
Tigermojo Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 How did Nevin not get an error? He threw the ball to nobody which allowed the third run to score. Quote

chasfh Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 Way for Brendan White to gut that inning out after two walks. He’s off to a solid start in his career. Quote

Would have been the fourth run but it took a lucky ricochet right back to Rogers at home plate. I still hate Nevin in the outfield. Edited June 28, 2023 by Tigermojo Quote

Yup, If it bounced off the wall a little differently it might have been an error, even though it would have been the exact same throw, because baseball. Quote

chasfh Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 Man, I gotta tell you, that hockey helmet/stick schtick has gotten so super lame, the players don’t care about it even while they’re doing it. Quote

Most teams have gotten bored with their home run gimmicks. That's what happens when you force artificial celebrations. Quote
lordstanley Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 Dan Dickerson’s call of the Tork homer. Right before the clip starts Dan had noted Tork’s 2 for 32 slump. Torkelson Ties Rangers.m4a Quote

When every team in baseball is doing it, you know it's not organic. It's harmless and they enjoyed it at first, but it's gotten old. Quote

gehringer_2 Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 I might like to see the Tigers shift some of the emphasis in their team hitting philosophy. The "Get a good pitch to hit" mantra sounds nice, but it can put you in the hole against every pitcher with decent command. It was interesting to hear Pudge last night talk about never worrying about looking for inside/outside/up/down, he said he just saw a strike coming he tried to put his bat on it no matter where it was going. Now Pudge was a great hitter, and he said as much as all hitters can;t hit the same way, but Pudge's approach is one that might give you a better shot in games against good pitching. Too much waiting for perfect pitches doesn't seem to be working for the Tigers even if it makes their peripherals look better than last season. Quote

He still would probably benefit from an occasional day off. I really hadn't thought about the fact that the only game he has had off so far this season was the 2nd game of a DH, so he hasn't actually had a 'day' off from the schedule at all.

Sports_Freak Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 Yeah, give Texas extra outs. Always a great idea. Quote
