Tigers vs. Cubs Game 125 August 21 2023

Tork at OPS+ 110 now, Green OPS+ 127 and Carpenter OPS+ 140. When Miggy leaves the talk is that Carpenter will be the DH. But Tork is pretty much a DH too.

Any chance Baez opts out? Like any.

No, by December, after the dust has settled, the media will tout his "off-season regimen," "renewed focus", "dedication and desire to improve," "a cleaned-up nutrition program," and "commitment to the fans of Detroit."

With our cap they can sustain his 25m hit but man is he bad. I'm holding out hope he's going.

there is no chance he opts out. He's owed $98M over the next 4 years. With his performance over the past 2 years, he would be lucky to get a 4 year $40M contract.

Maybe he wants to play closer to home or go back to the NL or more competitive team. Who knows.

I really don?t have any clue what a strike is. This ump will say the ball crossed the plate but that just isn?t so.

According to Ump Scorecards, the ump cost us that game.

How many games have you actually watched? Tork has scooped probably 50 errors from Baez throws. He's been great at 1st.

Wild because the percentages aren?t horrible, but literally every high leverage 50/50 ball went CHC way. 2.36 runs for the Cubs in a 1 run game.
