That's just so ugly...

So who is nicked up and not playing?

Urshela, Carpenter, and Canha too?

But Hinch has Ibanez of the .258 OBP leading off...?

Let me help you AJ:

Perez

Greene

Vierling

Tork!

Ibanez

Rogers

Baez

Kelly

Vilade

 

Just as ugly... But it makes oodles more common sense.

I was going to mock this post earlier for the small sample size. Now that Ibanez is up to .361, is AJ right?

[Tigermojo]

More runs!

... doesn't want to ride the bus with Parker.

If that lit a FIRE under everyone's asses...

Then they should have demoted Parker a week ago...

But I'll take it.

Ibanez has a .307 OBP over 800 PA's over the past several years in MLB.

Is that how you define small sample size?

[holygoat]

So Ibanez is having a decent game tonight, eh?

He is however...

Having a night.

So, good call by AJ it looks like.

Who is watching this on Bally's app?         Mine is freezing about every 15-20 seconds.     I have AT&T Fiber, very high speed and the fire stick is literally 2 feet from the modem. 

[SoCalTiger]

No Meadows and no Keith. Eleven runs. 

[Tigermojo]

Vilade brought the luck from Toledo. You know things are going you're way when Perez strikes out and ends up on second.

What's his OBP against LHP?

Lower than righties in 2022 and 23.

Higher in 2021 and so far this year.

You win by...

a small sample size...

😉

[1984Echoes]

Baseball Reference has his career OBP versus lefties at .319 (prior to today) so, overall, slightly better...

Lange come on don't screw this up

[Jim Cowan]

Whew

[holygoat]

I'm never comfortable with Lange on the mound.

Chafin, Foley and Miller have all had their issues recently, so Lange doesn't feel any worse. The 3 batter rule is the hard part for a guy prone to wildness - you can't yank him after the 1st walk and he's shown you he's clearly gonna be wild.

Canha is unavailable due to illness.

He sits and the Tigers score 11 runs? 2 weeks worth of runs.

[casimir]

No Canha, no Carpenter.  11 runs on the board.  Go figure.

[Dtrain72]

I would like to apologize to Bally for making fun of them for acting like Andy Ibanez is the second coming of Miggy...as today anyway, Andy Ibanez looks like the second coming of Miggy...

And when does Manning replace batting practice Maeda?

Maybe your connection? Or the ATT server. My Bally app played perfectly. Can't FF on my ROKU though, it leaps all the way to the end. I didn't start watching it until after dinner...about 7:15. Forced to watch commercials....so 1995! 😁

But a career .793 OPS vs LHP heading into tonight.

Now if Harris could just launch Baez out of cannon and off of this lineup

[UCFKNIGHT]

Tonight the Guardians smoked Kenta Maeda like a cigar. Luckily, Andy Ibanez and Ryan Vilade quickly returned the favor in the same game.
