The big thing is that he cannot project relentless negativity, and he doesn't... that's to his credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtutiger Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 As much as the injury problems center on the pitching, it's really the hitting that frustrates me more. Even right now, a 4-0 deficit shouldn't seem insurmountable, even against the Rays.... but these guys just can't hit enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mize is baked, done-zo, capoot, I don't expect anything from him this season (if ever tbh), Manning is a question, along with now Erod and Pineda. Skuval and Faedo and Briske...that's this team's lineup for the near future...forfuksakes. Shoulda signed JV and every other FA starting pitcher. Who knew we would need a dozen SP to get thru May?

In all seriousness, I've had some gripes with his managing this year, but in terms of handling the clubhouse, I wouldn't put money against him keeping it all together through the lowest of lows. He knows how to handle players as well as any manager in my time watching this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Henning writes the other day that they won't call up Clemens because he can't hit lefthanders, while our O's biggest problem is that our supposed switch hitters are not hitting as LEFT handers (i.e. against RHP) . Go figure. Edited May 18, 2022 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does, we'll have to blame the org for refusing to give him any consistent playing time while they drooled over Nicko, W. Castro and Short on the IF and we can argue more about whether that was Hinch or Avila! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtrain72 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I look forward to the Tigers finishing 2022 with the least amount of HR's in the league, whilst also having the most solo HR's in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the argument from a service time manipulation perspective, given that this season looks like a lost cause at this point, but really, he needs to get more work with ML pitching. That won't happen in Toledo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
