casimir Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Baez is a heckuva base runner. I don’t know how that helps him get on base to begin with, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoBert Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I only just now checked in, but has this umpire been generous to the pitchers all night or does he just hate the tigers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s been a slightly generous zone for both teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoBert Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 At least the last out was a ground out and not a ball 2 inches out of the strike zone called a strike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers, Ibanez, Madris, Malloy? I’d probably go with Malloy there. But it’s Clase on the bump. It’s tough no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I trust Skubal to put together a better AB than what Baez will give us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casimir Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 The Tigers gave up only 2 runs. But a passed ball and leadoff 4 pitch walk really did them in. They’re not Es on the scoreboard, but in a game with slim margins, mistakes cost the Tigers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeattleMike Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 2 minutes ago, monkeytargets39 said: At this point I trust Skubal to put together a better AB than what Baez will give us Baez's OPS+ is typical of what your average pitcher used to put up pre DH era. Some were worse, some were better. But playing Baez is like giving up your DH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only have 3 healthy starting pitchers with little to no help in the minors. It would be irresponsible to trade a SP without any plan to replace him. 3 BP days every 5 days? Stretch out a RP? It's madness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is...IF the Tigers find a SS in the trade market, are they willing to eat Javy's contract and DFA him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
