Motor City Sonics Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 The ground ball hit by Malloy just reminded me of the Bull Durham quote about a gork, a dying quail. Just one more of those a week and you're playing in the majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitchers are jamming him inside from what I've seen... He either adapts... Or flops. Up to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that time everybody couldnt wait for Tork, Keith, Meadows, Malloy, and Kreidler to all be part of the Tigers core? That was cool...now we're just a Jayce and Max away from it allll coming together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know about that, since Meadows ran through a stop sign from the third base coach in the bottom of the ninth with two out and down three to make the final out of the game at the plate in Toledo tonight. So … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigermojo Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 They showed a stat that Canha hadn't swung and missed in his last 16 PA so he proceeds to strike out twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 You got the Astros swinging at the first and second pitches trying to do damage meanwhile the Tigers are sitting there taking pitches, "working the count" and trying to "go up the middle". I just don't agree with that approach in this day and age for a number of reasons most notably that in today's game even if you get ahead in the count pitchers don't throw "get me over pitches" anymore when behind so you're not going to get a cookie, you're going to get just as tough of pitch to hit. Also starters don't pitch as long anymore so no need to try to make them work and get to the middle relief since you're likely going to get there anyway.

kdog Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 (edited) This game will run a little over two hours. Two excellent starting pitching performances..Skubal threw about 10 bad pitches; The rest of the game was a non-event.

It was one of those things where, in the two or so seconds before the ball came down, you knew 100% he was going to jump up and rob the home run.

kdog Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Astros had a plan and executed it...they only needed a few runs given the Tigers inept offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petry and Dan hitting the connection again that the Tigers take the most 1st pitches of any team by far in a context clearly implying the connection to the inept offense, a point also having been made by Monroe and Gibson, none of that, let alone multiple years of terrible results, appears to be motivating this coaching staff to reconsider its assumptions.
