6 runs for Bert.

Baseball reference has Parker Meadows at 1.4 WAR for the season. It seems like it should be higher but I don't know much about stats. Is 1.4 good?

Hope Mize doesn’t give it all back.

Hinch wouldn't allow it. At least, he better not.

Must win. If we win, does anyone think it may be a good idea to give Skubal an extra day of rest and use him against Baltimore? Those 3 games are going to be a....challenge.

No. Save him for the playoff game.

You get a hit and you get a hit...

I don't look at baseball reference but on Fangraphs he was pretty much at zero and he has raised it the last two months. If he could do the same production over six months he would have 4+ WAR.

[Tigermojo]

6k in 4 innings for Mize.

[Tigermojo]

Jake just missed a homer. Settles for a double.

Jake manufactures a run with the wheels.

too bad the regular season is not 172 games long

And yet the Tigers are close to 20 games over .500 with him in the lineup but about 20 games under when he's not. I guess I don't understand that stat.

Or we could play June over. Or May. Or April. 🤣🤣

Mize looks like Edgar Ramirez

[kdog]

with the rested bullpen, you don't have to deal with Mize nonsense. If he can't get out this inning, you have plenty of guys to use.

Meadows was not the only guy out of the lineup over most of that period and Maeda was still in the rotation etc.,

Hinch was begging Mize to just go 5 innings and he could not do it...bad all around.

[gehringer_2]

Mize can't get through 5 with a big lead against a bad team. Not good

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but WAR is wins above replacement. A roster full of replacement level players would win about 48 games so WAR adds to that total. Not directly because there is luck involved but WAR is usually close to a team's Pythagorean record.

Carp on fire 🔥

it won't always line up that well. A team full of zero WAR guys should be under 500 but  you also see teams further over 500 than their total player WAR.

Right but don't they say 40-50 team war should be a playoff team because it's wins above the base of 48.

A .500 team theoretically would have 33 WAR.

Imagine if Mize and Tork were studs worthy of their draft position. This team would be so much more exciting. I guess we got Skubal, but man it’s hard to overcome multiple busts like that in a single rebuild.
