Id feel better about that happening if our biggest power hitter wasn't on the bench again.

Didn't he hit some HR vs LHP this season?

 

[Mitchrapp]

Most of our lineup today is Mendoza line or lower. Dang.

 

[tomdalton22]

We don't know if Langford will good in 2 years.

right, but we know that he is good enough to be on an MLB roster. 20 HRs in 146 games. Believe me, I hope Clark turns out to be a great player.

yes, 2

Yes but he's also on the DL right now.

He has 2 of the 5 total that detroit has vs lhp this year. So he's hit 40% of the teams homers lol

 

[tomdalton22]

there is another one of those 10% shitty pitches

Brewers 6th
Why is Montero starting the 6th ? He had such a good 5th. Would been a great half inning to end his day on. He had already given up 4 runs. This was a typical Montero. Start. Not the greatest.

Hr trail 5-1
Single
Sacrifice bunt. Tork saves an error.
F-8. (Baez runs that ball down dp deep cf)

 

[Mitchrapp]

Maybe I wasn't clear, Detroit needs more bombs.

 

[tomdalton22]

Yes but he's also on the DL right now.

so what...there are a lot of players on the DL.

He as productive at the ML level, today, as Max.

I was saying the same thing last year. What I have read is the Tigers were able to sign McCongle because they signed Clark for less than slot. I have no idea if that is true. I also don't know if Clark or McCongle will ever be impact players. It seems like Langford has already somewhat established himself

I saw this under Clark's prospect report..

The Tigers went for Max Clark third overall in 2023 with an eye on a below-slot bonus (eventually $7.7 million) that would allow them to draft and sign big talents later. They didn’t have to wait much longer, selecting McGonigle 37th overall and signing him to an above-slot deal at $2,847,500.

now you are just being a dick

 

[Mitchrapp]

This was Clark's 20-80..

Scouting grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 50 | Run: 70 | Arm: 70 | Field: 60 | Overall: 60

I hope that arm, and fielding is accurate because we need some..

 

[Mitchrapp]

now you are just being a dick

Not being a dick just making fun conversation.

Tigers 7th
Dingler out
Ph- Carpenter (why with no one on ?
Torres K’s
PH McKinstry BB
Tork K”s. Come on ump. That was a ball on the 2nd pitch .
We so need a challenge system.

 

[Mitchrapp]

So McKinstry was hitting great so far against LHP is why not start him today? Someone I wonder if AJ over thinks things.

I agree. I'm just tired of being patient

 

[Mitchrapp]

Disadvantage of drafting a HS player.
