gehringer_2 Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 Tigers have issued 7 walks. Just now, mtutiger said: We'll see what happens here, but they need to give Soto a breather from save opportunities for a while. absolutely. Quote
Tiger337 Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 Why just a breather? Remove him from the role permanently. Too many walks. 1 1 Quote
mtutiger Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 Yes!!!!!! Maybe let Vest save some games for a while... Jesus Quote
gehringer_2 Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 Fulmer and Soto need to work some 7 and 8ths. Quote
UCFKNIGHT Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 Back in the day; Dontrelle Willis lost his mental capabilities to pitch and Gregory Soto is experiencing the same type of difficulty, now. Quote
mtutiger Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 I'm sure the reasons were justified at the time, but I can't believe the Mariners gave Vest back Quote

Dtrain72 Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 Soto and Fulmer both need to ride the pine for a bit...let other guys who arent shit-ballers have a shot at some of these roles. But, we all know how managers "have" to follow their formula...Soto and Fulmer will get too many chances to shit their pants at crucial moments, because "basebawwwll" things... Quote

I think Fulmer is mostly rusty but I don't know how you work relievers back into form when your team never gets a comfortable lead. Soto is over throwing everything - just dumb because he has great stuff. Maybe need to turn off the radar gun when he pitches. Edited May 14, 2022 by gehringer_2 Quote
Nerb Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 Yeah I might take him out of the closer role right now for his own good, but think they would be foolish to give up altogether on Soto Quote
Sports_Freak Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 Did they extend Avila yet? 😄😄 No, really, pretty exciting. And fun to win. Quote

Too many walks. again, how do explain Hinch's thought process when you have 14 pitchers on the staff and you keep using a guy north of 7 BB/9IP to close? I'm really getting tired of the hope over reality approach to things this team seems locked into. And I suppose because Wiili had a hit tonight the terrible route he took on his one chance in the field will be conveniently ignored as well. And just a side note, it will never show up in his stat analysis because Baez managed to come out and make the play for him. Edited May 14, 2022 by gehringer_2 Quote
