Get StartedJust ridiculous.And Olsen is winless, still.
He had Lange up. I don't get it. Lange can pitch to leftys.Way to over manage aj! Used chafin because there were 2 leftys due up. Problem is the righty homers lol
Once dipshit aj put chafin in, he had to face 3 batters. So he was forced to face the righty too.He had Lange up. I don't get it. Lange can pitch to leftys.
Aj chose to use foley early because he was being cute planning to use chafin vs the leftys when they came up. Just ridiculous over-managing.Plus Ibanez error . Cost 2 runs.
Totally team loss.
Except Olson .
I just don't think Chafin can close. He is just a lefty specialist.
Who is our closer ?
Thought it was Foley but something happened Friday.
Sorry I thought that rule was changed back . Chafin should have no issues getting that RHB out either but that batter was trying to go to rf. You could see it in his swing.Once dipshit aj put chafin in, he had to face 3 batters. So he was forced to face the righty too.
Oh I agree but maybe he is worried about Foley’s dip in arm velocity. They had mentioned it on the radio broadcast. Idk. One blown save and he isn’t the closer anymore ? Makes zero sense for AJ to over manage. Use Lange or Foley and be done with it.. Chafin just isn’t a closer in my opinion.Aj chose to use foley early because he was being cute planning to use chafin vs the leftys when they came up. Just ridiculous over-managing.
AJ just relies too fucking much on analytics.
she says don't blame the hitting coaches, it's the players. Then she blames the former GM and player development system.THE BLAME GAME.![]()
THE BLAME GAME
by Holly Horning On Tuesday, we addressed the offensive concerns seen with the #5 through #9 batters and why the Tigers can’t continue to put out lineups like this. I wrote that a player woul…totallytigers.wordpress.com
Totally Tigers
Her reasoning as spelled out in the article is sound. Harris has had one year of oversight on the draft, and apparently limited options in terms of free agent hires (we aren't the Dodgers or Yankees). As she spelled out in the article, most of the hitters that are struggling were acquired by Avila. It takes more time for a new general manager to have any effect than the 21 months that Harris has been here, and assessing the effect of batting coaches on the players can't really be done by those of us outside the loop without taking that into consideration.she says don't blame the hitting coaches, it's the players.

We have the payroll like we're Pittsburgh though. The 3 highest FA this year, 2 SP and Canha. Canha wasn't enough for this offense. They signed Urshela cheap because they say they didn't want to block 3B for our prospect. That makes no sense. A guy like McKinstry shouldn't even be on this team. They couldn't get competent C that could hit? Harris has had time to do more and better..Her reasoning as spelled out in the article is sound.
