I was trying to look up Twitter reactions to the Schoop strike, and I came across an old friend. He’s still got it!

Where would this team be without Austin Meadows...............it's frightening to think.     How's Isaac doing?  Probably not this well

If Riley Greene comes back no worse the wear, we may be saying his injury was for the best lol

Nice bounceback outing for Lange

[buddha]

lange has pitched in 4 games and been pretty good in 3 of them.

[gehringer_2]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Alex Lange.

[Motor City Sonics]

How close is Miggy now,  6 hits?    I really want him to do that at home................

[buddha]

when miggy clinched the triple crown the royals fans gave him a standing o.  i thought that was pretty cool and gave me some respect for them.  so if he's gonna get to 3k on the road, it'll be ok if its in kc.

Nice to see him putting it altogether!

Did Miggy always play with earrings on before or is this a new thing? After 15 years of watching him you'd think I would know but they just look different on him so it has me wondering if its a new look.

Good night for the pen. 9 straight outs. The only baserunner in 3 bullpen innings being the leadoff infield single.

I believe he’s had them for a few years, but they look bigger this year.

Joe could stand to throw more than just fastballs, but otherwise he seems good as well.

Can the Wings and Tigers both win on the road on the same night? About to find out.

hmm, I remember him wearing them in the dugout (after being pulled) but not on the field before.

Leyland probably said to him 12 years ago: "Look, young man, you go out there and get 3,000 hits and 500 home runs and you can stick  whatever you want in your ears. Until then, what I say goes, and I say no earrings on the field".

[Motor City Sonics]

Tiger closers, man..............

[Motor City Sonics]

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

WOOP WOOP!

[lordstanley]

Victory!

Whit Merrifield looked like he wanted to snap that bat in half lol

[gehringer_2]

So bottom line, Mize only gives up 2 in 5 and the Tigers win. I'll live with that.

[Jim Cowan]

Lol at Benintendi, the way that Miggy ran his arm on that medium fly ball.  He'll never hear the end of it.

I've been trying to jump back and forth to the wild game, sorry not a wings fan. Streaming sure has made it tough though

Hmmmm....

So, we all realize that RPs can have their ratios, at least the traditional ones like ERA & WHIP, dinged up pretty good by a rough outing.  SPs have the QS and QS% stats (which admittedly are not perfect if the floor is a 4.50 ERA).  The question for the room is do RPs have a similar stat?  I suppose BSs is somewhat in the realm of that, but I guess I'm thinking about something more based along the lines of something ERA or WHIP based with an IP qualifier.  Something along the lines of a quality relief appearance being at least an inning with an ERA of no more than 4.50 or something like that?
