Chris Sale's favorite guy in the binoculars moved to Arizona? they aren't facing a lot of velo, and they haven't been smart enough to even pitch Javy outside, so there's that.

mtutiger Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 (edited) The main thing that scares me about tonight is that there hasn't been a ton of home run power.... it reminds me a little bit of the Miggy 3000 game in that regard from a couple of years ago. (although they have at least had more extra base hits tonight) https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/DET/DET202204231.shtml Edited May 18 by mtutiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once he gave up a hit? Maybe 75 pitches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game was a bunch of singles. At least this one includes a good bit of gap power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutiger Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Skubal's efficiency along with the run scoring may make this one of the easiest games AJ has ever managed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordstanley Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Keith and Baez have combined for 7 hits and combined 7 RBIs tonight. Both now within reach of the magical .500 OPS level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutiger Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Just now, chasfh said: There are exactly two guys out of the 14 playing that game who are on tonight’s roster. It's a much different team now, but it's more the reminder that even the bad offenses can experience a dead cat bounce from time to time. There's still some upside here though.... Tork and Keith turning things around would make a huge difference on this teams trajectory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutiger Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 1 minute ago, 1984Echoes said: Anyone know why Greene got pulled for McKinstry? He's coming off of injury and AJ isn't going to expose him in a noncompetitive game. That's my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tork and Keith turning things around would make a huge difference on this teams trajectory. what I look for is whether there they are actually doing something different, and they are not letting too many called strikes go by. Now quite possibly tomorrow the DBs will decide not to throw so many 1st pitch strikes and the chess match restarts from a different board.

Yeah, it's more boxscore than anything... as awful as they've been offensively production wise this year, they are better than that 2022 version.
