Rob Miller Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 I posted, back in July, that Detroit would not win any League chanpionship with Hinch as Manager. He blew game 4 and especially game 5. Skubal puts two batters on base, Hinch doesn't even have anyone get up in the bullpen. |But why would he? Evreyone knows Skubal is going to pitch out of the jam. After he loads the bases, he hits Rameriz with a pitch and probably everyone, except Hinch, could see what was coming. I suppose Hinch figured he would get all the glory for leaving Skubal to get out of his jam. Just like he probably thought using The rookie Jobe in the 4th game would earn him (Hinch) all the glory for putting in a game winning rookie pitcher. Naturally he probably never considered the effect it would have on Jobe, mentally. But who cares? Certainly not Hinch. He is a moron, proven beyond a doubt in games 4&5 Harris and Ittitch should be livid with anger and should have fired HInch immediatelly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 (edited) I was unhappy with Mr. Hinch in July, but my gosh............he had TWO starting pitchers down the stretch. The stretch the Tigers had was one of the greatest managerial jobs I've ever seen and I can think back, critically, to about 1980. Guess what? Not every decision he made worked. That's baseball. There is no perfect manager. You're holding him to a ridiculous standard. He got to the second round of the playoffs with, basically one starting pitcher, a bunch of kids and a couple of journeymen. The Detroit Tigers do not have a very good roster. It's okay with some potential but has more holes than your silly post. AJ Hinch basically did the equivalent of preparing a gourmet meal with nothing but stuff you can buy at 7-11. This roster, as it stands, had no real business being in the playoffs and I hope the team recognizes this and has an aggressive offseason, because something like this miracle Hinch and Fetter pulled won't happen again Cleveland simply had better players and after 5 games it showed. There is promise here going forward, but they must show consistency over the long hall to get back to the postseason again.

But this year Hinch really challenged my suppositions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romad1 Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 This thread was good for a laugh. Winston Churchill forced out in Fall 1940 for not rallying the British people enough. Martin Luther King sent packing by the civil rights movement for not dreaming big enough. Norm Schwartzkopf court martialed in 1991 for not whipping the Iraqi army enough.

Tigerbomb13 Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Could you imagine Hinch getting fired after that improbable run, because of one bad inning by the best pitcher in baseball? I’d be in front of Little Caesar’s HQ with a pitchfork. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be in front of Little Caesar’s HQ with a pitchfork. Not even one bad inning, necessarily—more like two bad back-to-back pitches. I don't know whether anyone has studied this, but I believe that the best first pitch for a hitter to swing at is the one after the pitcher just plunked a guy, because I wonder whether pitchers want to just throw the next pitch in the strike zone to prove they can still do it. I actually worried about that before the first pitch to Lane Thomas. Lane Thomas—doesn't sound like a furniture brand? Maybe even a furniture store?

I was counting on him shutting the door in the 7th and possibly 8th as I felt the Tigers had a decent chance of scoring a couple of runs.

Gaddis pitched a stressful top of the inning, Skubal threw 5 pitches in the bottom of that inning, and then Gaddis went back out to pitch. I thought that was going to be the in for the Tigers. Gaddis didn't have much time at all to recover in between innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoBert Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 A lame and artless attempt at trolling like this is generally unworthy of comment, and is only interesting because of its infrequence. Trolling has really gone downhill. I guess Karl Marx was right about history repeating itself first as tragedy, and the second time as farce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it because Hinch thought exposing Skubal for a fourth go through the order would have been worse than bringing in studs Will Vest and Tyler Holton. Plus his four-seamer had lost a couple inches of rise by that time, so it was probably time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious D Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Skubal had never thrown more than 150 innings at the big league level, back in ‘21. He only pitched 80 last season. This year, including the postseason, he had 211 IP. And those were max effort. Pretty big jump and impressive that he didn’t show any degradation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
