tiger pitchers are getting hammered on change-ups. Maybe that suggests a change in strategy?

[Tigermojo]

Deja vu

[gehringer_2]

this could quickly get .....ugly.

[chasfh]

Almost another one.

Hit too slow for the double play. Even succeeding in getting soft contact is biting us on the ass.

[mtutiger]

Don't throw this guy another change up lol

[gehringer_2]

I actually thought that was hit pretty good, and not close to turning the DP. But Schoop was deep, Muncy motored.

Are the Dodgers gonna ***** and moan every time they don't swing at balls down in the zone? They did it all night last night too, even with balls in the superimposed box

They are the best team in baseball, but they arent entitled to preferential treatment

Statcast says it was 84 mph. MLB average is about 87.

[gehringer_2]

One run. Can I still hope?

still, you'd take 84 any time to turn a dp if you're at DP depth.

We need a miracle tonight.

Is that true? I honestly have no idea. What’s the cutoff MPH to expect a DP at?

[Tigermojo]

Schoop was way over in the hole closer to first. He and Baez turned it as well as possible but Muncy out ran it.

[gehringer_2]

but speaking of exit velocity on stat cast - do you know if that is measured just in the direction of travel or the is that the vector in the forward level component? It would make difference on a ball at 20 deg angle to the ground and I've never thought about the question before in terms of the time to get a certain distance across the field.

Good catch by Freeman. Of course.

[kdog]

You can't really yell at a bunch of hitters who are missing pitches and making weak contact. This is amateur hour stuff. They have good hitters with track records. I just don't get it.

[gehringer_2]

Kids got a decent FB

No, I don’t know. I don’t have an advanced physics education. What would be the difference?

[chasfh]

Two solid strikeouts. Keep going, kid.

Nice to see that Chris Taylor decided not to give the umps an earful...
