Maybe this is some BABIP correction. And they are playing utility guys out of position because they dont' have a real infield.

kdog Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Looking forward to Hinch talking about how the mistakes are unacceptable. This roster is just so limited...they have no levers to pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this team will struggle to get to .500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or aren't we allowed to question the strategy of a genius? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's basically what they are....the pivot comes if a few of these young hitters had a pulse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdog Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Their plan was to develop Meadows and Keith in the majors. Both guys have been horrendous in the majors and they already jettisoned one of them. They thought Tork would be able to stack late 2023 into a good 2024...it hasn't happened but they have to wait to see if he can turn it around. Carpenter is good, Greene is an ascending player, Canha is a 35 year old professional hitter. The rest of the roster is spare parts or guys who are underachieving. I'm not saying Hinch is some brilliant tactician but this is a mediocre team with a good pitching staff and bad offense. They have to develop players and will always be looking long term. They won't rush a guy from the minors to help a team floudering in May 2024 if it will hurt that player a year from now. It's excruciating that we have to deal with this product every year but they have a plan and are sticking to it. I'm not going to give them any credibility until I see more results. But they have been very honest about their process. It remains to be seen if it will amount to anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 If the Tigers came up with a garbage-can banging scheme, they still wouldn't hit. Other than Kenta, you can't ask your starters to be better. How will they waste Skubal tomorrow. Vilade from 3-0 to a strike out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
