gehringer_2 Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) why isn't he out for not being on the outside of the base line? Edited June 11, 2022 by gehringer_2 Quote

I don't get it with Haase...especially when he has no defensive value. Like Grossman, last year was a fluke. You have to know when to try someone else. Like a different hitting coach? 😁 Quote

RandyMarsh Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Yeah I just don't get why we haven't brought in a new hitting coach. Sure there's a good chance that it wouldn't help but really how much could it hurt to atleast try? This is one of the worst offenses in the last 100 years and virtually everybody is performing WAY below their career norms or expectations and we're not gonna atleast try to bring in another set of eyes or voice to see if they could identify the problem? 1 Quote
kdog Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Two walks for Baez against a rightly with a slider eh? I've seen it all. Quote
mtutiger Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 All it took for Javy to draw two walks in one game was to face the favorite for CY. Can't make it up! Quote
chasfh Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Anyone else watching the broadcast from out of town on MLB.tv? The source where they clobber you with the same commercial repeatedly? Apparently, it’s Loan Depot’s turn. I hate hate hate the music playing underneath the customers giving the testimonials. It’s this creepy-sounding vibrato keyboard thing that serves only to distract. I think I figured out exactly why I hate it: it starts out like Clair de Lune, which causes the song to go in that direction in my head, and then it goes in some other direction, and I become very unhappy. The moment I see the commercial start, I go “LALALALA!” very loudly until I can locate the remote and press the mute button. It’s the same as the Draft Kings commercial: the moment I hear the generic studio rock guitars blare out, I race to mute it before the ugly blonde can come on to tell me how I can Make. It. Rain.

Last year he hit .239/.357/.415. I really wouldn't classify his performance as some big fluke, pretty normal variation. Quote
Sports_Freak Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Forget the game...let's hear from some guy who played 40 years ago and ignore the game. Quote

He won't be part of a contending Tigers team based on our trajectory. I'm looking for guys who will be here in a few years. Edited June 11, 2022 by kdog Quote

mtutiger Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Offense hasn't done much, but I will give it to them that they've had a decent approach and generally haven't chased much on Gausman's splitter. Gausman may also be a little off today, either way, credit where credit is due Quote
kdog Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 You could carry Haase if Barnhart was hitting I guess. But his OPS is bad he's supposedly here for framing and defense. Quote

Nothing wrong with that per se, but the subtext is clearly that it's a City of Detroit business. Quote
mtutiger Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Willi leaves a lot to be desired in his route running, but he does throw a damn good ball! Quote
RandyMarsh Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Beau gave up some hard hit balls and didn't get many swings and misses but the bottom line is that he went out and gave the team nearly 6 innings of shut out baseball(or maybe 1 run depending on what Chafin does) so that needs to be commended. Quote
mtutiger Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Whatever happens, Beau Brieske won't lose today. Good for him! Quote
Dave Christian Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Brieske leaves with a two run lead Nice job Beau!!! Quote

But his OPS is bad he's supposedly here for framing and defense. So we have to carry Barnhart and let a home run hitter sit on the bench. And we're not scoring runs or hitting homers. Got it....pure logic. Quote
