gehringer_2 Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 3 minutes ago, RandyMarsh said: Javy up over .850 OPS this month, third month this season over .800 so he's had stretches of great play it's just that when he was bad he was REALLY bad. This is very Porcelloish but if you throw out his disastrous May where he had a .432 OPS he'd be over .750 OPS for the season which considering the environment would be well above league average. Hopefully next year his disastrous stretch will be better in which case he could finish above league average offensively. yeah - at this point I'm not worried about Javy any more. We were told he'd be erratic, he has been and since he had such a bad stretch early his numbers have never recovered but I'm OK penciling him in at SS for next season. They have bigger batting order fish to fry than to spend time and resources chasing another SS when they are needed more at 1b, 2b, 3b, C and OF.. Quote
sabretooth Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 When was Schoop's last 2-EBH day? Wow. Quote
sabretooth Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 Boy Schoop has such a nice arm. Gads. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) wow - Manning shakes off of a lead-off bloop double and gets 3 outs on 6 pitches. Edited September 17, 2022 by gehringer_2 Quote
RandyMarsh Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 Haven't watched much the past few weeks so maybe he's done it a few times but that was the first time I can remember seeing Riley take a bad route/get a bad jump on a ball allowing a should be out dropping in for a hit. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 Manning touches 98 to get out of a mini jam. Quote
sabretooth Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 Every game this year where he has had positive ratings on at least two pitches he has had a Quality Start. Every other game he has not. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 so they bring in a pitcher with a terrible walk rate, and you sub out a guy who actually can walk for a guy who can't, who promptly strikes out. I think handedness is as important in baseball as anyone, but I don't get that move. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 Beck says that 82 of Manning's 87 pitches were sliders or fastballs. What happened to his curveball that he used to feature? Did he scrap that since he made his return? Quote
gehringer_2 Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 This team is such a paradox: you look at the likely starting pitching for next season with Manning, Skubal (at some point) Brieske, Wentz, Turnbull, ERod and you think - how can a team with that starting pitching not be a lock to at least challenge for a playoff spot, yet you still struggle to see how they can rebuild enough of the position roster to be taken seriously at all.

gehringer_2 Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) and Manning's work goes down the tubes.... Tie game Edited September 17, 2022 by gehringer_2 Quote
sabretooth Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 Kreidler whiffs on two plays.....ack Quote
RandyMarsh Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 Baez with great base running to turn a single into a double so naturally he offsets that by getting thrown out at home trying to score on a strike 3 wild pitch. Only the Tigers! Quote
lordstanley Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 That may have been the most 2022 Tigers-ish sequence of the season. Quote
sabretooth Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 That single mistake on the basepaths wipes out the value of all of his aggressive baserunning gains. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 I will say as bad as that looked it did take a heads up play by Kelly and a flawless shovel to the catcher to get him. If Kelly didn't react so fast and scoop it and toss it so cleanly he would've scored but naturally he did everything perfectly since it's the Tigers. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 I mean that throw wasn't even close! You could've had Shaquille Oneal manning 1st and he wouldn't have been able to get to that ball. Quote
sabretooth Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 What the hell with these errors. Quote

Pollock had turned toward second and the umpire was ready to call the out, and all they had to do was handle it cleanly and it would inning over right now. Edited September 17, 2022 by chasfh 1 Quote
