Shinzaki Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Tork with 2 HR's...one to RF off a 95 MPH sinker, the other a GS to left. He also took a 95MPH middle/middle FB and shot it to RF for a solid hit. Is he starting to get it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also took a 95MPH middle/middle FB and shot it to RF for a solid hit. Is he starting to get it ? he still took a middle middle FB for a called strike one in his very 1st AB, but I'll give him a Ted Williams pass on the 1st pitch he sees in the game. Also have to give him props for reaching base twice against a position player pitcher - walk and HBP. Then again, maybe we should worry about his reflexes since he didn't get out of the way of a 56mph "slider." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger337 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 10 hours ago, gehringer_2 said: It all depends on which kind of hitter you think is going to fall off more against top pitching, and I think it goes either way. The real key for the playoff is hitters than bear down, adjust to what a pitcher is doing, and fight through tough ABs, the converse is a team that is concentrating on looking for mistakes to drive. The latter team may do well in the regular season, but they are going to suffer differentially in the playoff if they dont get a lot of mistakes to hit..... Of course it may also just come down to who can hit in the cold if the Series ends up North late in Oct. 🥶 Doing bad in the playoffs would be better than never getting even close to the playoffs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 Parker Meadows' AAA OPS is 90 points higher than it was last season when he was called up. Hopefully that means he's succeeded in working on some things and not just another reflection of terrible pitching in AAA this season.

I would have no worries about his reflexes if he stuck his arm out a little to "catch" that slider for the HBP. There are a few guys who specialize in getting on base using just that technique...

And another Tiger connection - it was Hernan Perez lobbing for Louisville, a middle IF who came up with and played for the Tigers a bit in '13-'15 and is playing out the tail end of a journeyman's career back in AAA at age 33. McCosky will be sad he missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im with you there, championships are cool and all but Id rather be a fan of the 90s/00s Braves(even if you throw out their 1 title) than the Marlins.

I don’t think he’s played since he got his bell rung a few games back. Concussion protocol, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that just comes with a bit more time. Lucky for us the FSL has done a good job of having some stadiums with Statcast ability so when you look for his Ofers there are usually some high EV balls that are hit at people. Rarely does it seem that he doesn't get ahold of one or two balls a game and gets some high velocity behind them and put them in play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
