Detroit Tigers first half report cards.
The first half of the season has come and gone, so how have the Detroit Tigers fared so far?
MCBTB

Eduardo Rodriguez to return, start Wednesday vs. A's.
The Detroit Tigers are getting their ace back much sooner than expected.

DET BB% in June
7.9% 20th in MLB

Scott Harris spent 18.5M opn Matthew Boyd and Michael Lorenzen..the premise was first
1. Production
2. Trade value

my guess..
Skubal starts Tue
EROD starts Wed
Greene will not play in a game till July 14
Baddoo by next Thursday
Faedo will be optioned to TOL
MarcGorosh

Jake Rogers
June
283/389/609
175 wRC+
1.0 WAR
3rd among MLB catchers
1.5 WAR for 2023 on pace to be a 3.0 WAR catcher in 2023.

While the 7 HR in June are nice for Torkelson..the reality is..

194/275/449
99 wRC+
0.1 WAR
need more
it ranked 25th among MLB 1B.

I didn?t know so much work was involved in making a baseball. Fascinating.

Tyler Alexander in June
8 G | 18.2 IP | 0.96 ERA | 0.75 WHIP | 18 SO
Lights Out for a team that has been relying heavily on Bullpen days this month. Possibly made himself a trade candidate at the deadline?

Getting it done with the leather.
Here are June's Catches of the Month.

No help from Baltimore. Twins win 1-0.

 

[biggunsbob]

Keith?s homer yesterday in Toledo was 473 feet.

 

[biggunsbob]

Baez makes a web gem with a nice dig by Spencer a few innings back. Spencer has dug a number of balls off the dirt.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers hitting is so bad.

 

[biggunsbob]

Top 6th

Baez is worthless af the plate. 1st and 2nd one out he grounds to third.
Good thing second baseman couldn?t get the ball out of his glove.

Tigers strand 2 more players on base as Vierling grounds out.

 

[biggunsbob]

Idiots ..
Base open the don?t walk. Kid has 47 rbis for Colorado.

Tigers trail 1-0

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 7th

Miggy lead off single (pinch runner Marisnick)
Schoop Double Rbi 1-1 !
Haase. Line out to second fails to move runner over.
Mckinstry G-3
Spencer T. K?s

This team is just awful with a runner on 2nd or 3rd with 1 out or less.. frustrating. Should have had more.

Runner at second
Beaz nice play at ss. 5-3 runner holds. (His Defense is good tonight)
3-0. Throw a damn strike, 3-1. Diving stop by Spencer ! Unassisted. 2 outs 102 mph line hop.
0-2 count, foul, 1-2 count, 2-2 count, 3-2 count. BB. (Not great pitches after 0-2 count).
1-1. Count, 1-2 count., single another awful pitch to a good breaking ball hitter. Stupid pitch
0-1, 1-1, 1-2 count again, foul. k?s on a real nice pitch

Tigers win 4-2 !

 

[lonesometiger]

A Roller Jones type relief win tonight..

 

[biggunsbob]

A Roller Jones type relief win tonight..

Lange has been nerve racking in June. Maybe we should flip him for more prospects?
Not sure what to do.
