RandyMarsh Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Unless Baez lost his eyesight over the offseason or he has some other injury that nobody knows about I suspect eventually he will start hitting. Maybe not to what we hoped but atleast start looking respectable cause guys generally don't just fall off a cliff like this at the age of 29 without some sorta injury.

Javier Baez very much gets into his own head, for worse and for better. It’s just the guy he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't watch as much Cubs games as you do but spending many weekends at my family's place in Grand Haven where the places often play their games I've gotten to watch quite a bit of him over his career so I have a decent idea of what he is but I just don't ever remember him looking this bad for this long of stretch. Maybe I just didn't pay as close attention since I didn't have a rooting interest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 if you wonder why the Tigers don't score runs, Barnhart's last AB is a good example. Took a middle-middle 'hit me' fastball, then swung at a pitch 4 inches off the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love watching him play defense. Maybe we could have the pitcher DH for him.😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 By the end of tomorrow’s game that will be 16 games in 15 days, plus two rainouts, which isn’t anything like a day off. It takes a psychic toll on you expecting to play that morning and amping up for it only to find the game’s been called off. If any team in baseball could use a Monday and a Thursday off in the same week, it’s this Tiger ballclub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard he told an interviewer last week he was having trouble seeing the ball, but I have no idea if that means anything or is just generic hitter speak. He should have ditched his shades today though. Not many players thought they needed them today and less light just makes it harder to see spin.

Granted Skubal's season numbers weren't the best at the time but he was in the middle of a bit of a roll at that point after the disastrous April. Not to mention being one of the 2 or 3 best LHP prospects just the summer before. When the Yankees have a prospect like that all of them treat them like the second coming of Koufax but for other teams they are nobodies in their eyes.

RandyMarsh Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Looking at the statcast numbers it's not like the Tigers got robbed by at em balls or stuff like that, Cabrera's hit had an xba of .780(though I do agree it very easily could've been caught) but aside from that there was only one ball with an xBA over .290 and that was Jeimer with a lineout in the 8th which was a .340 xBA.
