Tigers @ Rays Game #3 (Sunday)

[tomdalton22]

0-0 bottom of 3rd

Kitten's hitters are really "controlling the strike zone"

7K 1BB 0 hits through 3 innings

Seems the game plan going in was to watch 93 mph fastballs down the middle go right by. Maybe Hinch should start cheating again.

don't worry, Scott Harris is a genius.

Hard to really blame him for anything.....yet


I was at least hoping he'd have the balls to move on from Miggy

He's the guy who puts the team together.

You expect him to fix 10 years of nonsense in a couple months?

Detroit fans are a special breed

This Tigers team does not appear to be very good.

10 years. Where'd that number come from? He didn't help an inept offense.. instead he traded a good BP for "hitters that controlled the strikeout zone" and cheap WW pickups and other scraps.

 

[tomdalton22]

I have no idea what these guys he picked up are going to turn into. Maybe they end up being decent. But I do know he didn't add a single player to the roster that has a track record of being even an average MLB player. That and he's trying to do it all by himself. He should have hired a GM to take care of the day to day and he could change the culture, analytics, scouting, etc.

Sorry, 7 years that Avila was shitting on detroit. Soto and Jimenez were not that great. Most people wanted both of them released many times for nothing in return over the years. Lucky they got anything for them. If 1 of those returning players turns out ot be an average mlb player it's a win.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Nice that he traded our BP.

 

[tomdalton22]

the Tigers lead off hitter, a guy Harris traded for, has a career OBP of .307 (437 plate appearances)

that's our lead off hitter. :clap:

Greene breaks up the no hitter

It looks to me that they have a surplus of players age 24-28 that they need to find out if they're mlb players or not. I'm sure they're gonna shuffle as many of them back and forth from toledo to see what they have. I have no problems with Harris taking his first year gauging what(if anything) they have to work with.

My problem is Miggy, Schoop and the McKinstry signing make it harder to really get enough looks.

What would signing 1 or 2 decent veterans really do for this team right now??

.337 vs lhp

Your Miggy, Schoop , McKinstry - all on Harris. He did nothing to improve this team, absolutely nothing.

You're an idiot if you think Miggy and Schoop are on him.

I always said you can't just get rid of a hall of famer in his last years making 35m but no you keep on mentioning the last guy should have gotten rid of him. Harris could have rid this team of Schoop if he wanted. Maybe signed a half way decent player.

 

[tomdalton22]

You're an idiot if you think Miggy and Schoop are on him.

he could have easily dumped Schoop if he wanted to. Miggy, that would probably have been more difficult. There are probably still a bunch of dopey people that adore him and would be pissed if the Tigers released him.
