2022 DETROIT TIGERS REGULAR SEASON THREAD

[1776]

The owner is obviously content with the status quo. Until that changes Avila will continue his reign of failure.

Brieske thinks he's been tipping his pitches.

That's a relatively easy fix if it's true.

It kinda makes sense... there were an insane amount of foul balls in his last start, and the pitches weren't bad.

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.

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.

This was interesting.  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.

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.

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.

Imagine how bad it would be had they not beat the Rockies 13-0!

This is a nice find, very intersting - thanks for posting.  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.

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.

First reactions:

There are names beyond Cobb-Crawford-Mullin from 1900-1915 who I should know more about, like Kid Elberfield and Matty McIntyre. 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

Only 9 teams since WWI. That takes skill to be so bad.

Even worse: the Tigers are the only team with a DH to “achieve” this dubious distinction.

deadball eras, two teams not trying to win, and al avila's tigers.

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.
