Game 102 Tigers vs. angles July 27, 2014

Who makes the "hey let's go into hack mode decision?" Ausmas? Miggy?

The entire offense does, the seem to take scrubs lightly and aren't focused as much when facing bums can't adjust to soft tossers for shit

Before you leave see if you can make your way down to the dugout and shout in their hey tigers get jer don freakin' Kelly sticks out of your asses

Well we're all done out west 12-13 record(included Texas and Houston). Not great, not bad.

add not good. In low scoring games your base running should factor in. And as the tigers did go out and get base runners. Well they did not show for these games IMO.
 
I knew we were doomed as soon as he yanked Porcello for Chubbykins. Made no sense with Porcello on fire striking out the side in the 7th. They act like he's still a rookie that needs coddling and it's his sixth freakin season! Joba looked nervous once again facing this team and that homer was inevitable. Just hope he doesn't regress back to his normal self now that his confidence is clearly rattled

Joba is not the problem, pulling rick just under 100 pitches is not the problem. The problem is the inconsistent offense getting their asses shutdown by a bunch of ave pitchers...they beat their ace then lose 3 to a bunch of crap soft tossers

Im sorry no credit Monroe! it was pathetic, no sugar coating that 800lb gorilla dung

Chamberlain has gotten lucky this year.

It's only a matter of time before he starts getting hit, he hangs way too many of those offspeed pitches.

Horrible series the Tigers played.
 
*shrugs* it is what it is. Offense goes in the tank sometimes. Hopefully they rebound against a more important team with the White Sox coming in now.

I did that.

And I said afterwards "and that's from Tia TOO!"

Tia?

As in..."Hi, I'm Tia. I'm a woman; I'm a Tiger fan, and I'm FABULOUS!"

Tia like that?
 
Miguel is hitting .220 on the road against LH this season. He raised that about .34 on this road-trip.

He is at .270 against LH all season. .320 at home against them. Virtually identical number of TPA 58 road and 59 home.

Teams were skipping their LH early in the season - I know Cleveland did and I thought Baltimore had as well because Tigers had no LH bats. Now the RH bats are struggling against LH pitchers.

JD Martinez has splits that defy the accepted natural advantage (.782 OPS vs LH - 1.022 vs RH).
 
It has been a year or so. But a few on here were hyping him. Especially after 2012.

Austin Jackson
UZR/150 2010 - 2013 = 3.5 good for 4th in MLB amongst CF'ers.

Admittedly far behind the Leaders - Bourn 9.9, Span 9.5 and Chris Young 8.3 but the next closest to him was Drew Stubbs at 0.7 and BJ Upton at 0.4

With the other players trending lower and if Jackson remained equal he could stay "in the conversation" at the very least. But then...

This season - 14th with a UZR/150 of -9.7

Ummm...of those that have at least 2,000 Innings playing CF during 2010-2013 (28 total), Austin is 11th.
 
Cabrera is not the same player this year. He's swinging at everything, fouling off hittable pitches.
 
2012-2014, 25 MLB qualify with 1,500 Innings. Jackson is 16th.

2010-2012, 28 MLB Qualify with 1,500 Innings. Jackson is 11th.
 
Yeah you're right..meh who cares

That's certainly how I look at it. That is just the way I have always approached a baseball season. There are too many games, and too many mini-slumps, and long slumps for me to get overly worked up over them. I enjoy a season a lot more just accepting that there will be bad times here and there. This is one of them. I just hope it doesn't last very long that's all. If we go 9-20 again, I'll be screaming don't worry :)

So....with this mindset....a playoff series could be one of those mini-slumps.
