It kinda makes sense... there were an insane amount of foul balls in his last start, and the pitches weren't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hit a pay wall on the link but I would like to know if Brieske himself figured this out or it was something one of the coaches saw and suggested to him. I would like to think someone at the coaching level would be attentive enough to recognize this if this is in fact the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Roster moves today.............purely speculation Elvin is fine, leg cramps (DRINK YOUR GATORADE, YOUNG MAN) Grossman to the Injured List Kody Clemens called up Sam Howard called up for the doubleheader.

One thing I noticed was how the list dramatically changed with each new generation, but has stayed the same since 1990 other than Cabrera. The Cabrera era had other great players, but they didn't stay in Detroit long enough to accumulate WAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Check out how this current Tigers team compares against all the teams in big league history that averaged fewer than three runs per game for an entire season. What jumps out at me is how much ground we have to make up to get even to 3. Edited May 30, 2022 by chasfh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger337 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) All they need is a 16-3 blow out today and their average jumps to 3. Get it done! What the chart does show is that it's very hard to have a decent record when you average fewer than 3 runs per game.

Just think how bad this team would be if the team pitching stats were below average or even league average? Tigers would have the worst record in MLB.

chasfh Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Here's another list: all the teams in big league history who have scored 125 runs or less in their first 46 games of the season: The run-scoring futility is almost impressive.

And surely Donnie Bush is the most forgotten, underrated star in Tigers history, no? Sadly, no change to top 15 since 1996 except for insertion of Miggy. Not even McAuliffe, Parish or Lemon displaced Edited May 30, 2022 by lordstanley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) well, good new, bad news from Columbus tonight where the Mudhens got rocked 9-1. The bad news was Tyler Alexander gave up 5 of the runs in 3 IP. The good news was Greene played CF and had a hit (1/4) and Vest pitched an inning giving up one hit and tallying a K.
