Tarik Skubal: Balancing Intensity and Joy for the Game | Have a Seat. 43 minutes.


Happy Friday, and welcome to day 224 since Spencer Torkelson hit a home run. Maybe tonight is the night.

Torkelson is hitting .191 against fastballs and .194 against fastballs in the heart of the zone. His expected batting average against fastballs is .189, which means the balls in play have low exit velocities and unfavorable launch angles. It's a timing issue.

If you are calling for AJ Hinch to be fired..you may be
1. Too stupid to post about baseball.
2. In need of having your drivers license revoked because you are likely too stupid and dangerous to drive.
3. Hungry..because you are too stupid to get food.

Justin Verlander starts Sunday in Detroit.

Tigers are 1-5 in their last 6..and if they played clean Hinch caliber baseball as they did early in April, they would have won all 6 games..can't be offensive deficient and play terrible situational sloppy baseball.

While fans and especially stupid media whine about the Tigers payroll
BAL, CLE, MIL
WSH
all have similar or smaller payrolls..MIL traded their Cy Young caliber #1 SP and lost their manager..its never about the $$$..its always about how you spend it.

Casey Mize has been decent through his first 6 starts.. although his FB has increased in velocity since TJ the overall quality of stuff and his performance is slightly worse than 2021.. something to watch in his next 6 starts.

Tigers prospect Justyn-Henry Malloy hasn't played since Friday due to an undisclosed injury, now missing five games in a row.

Problem is you can only have 1 player bat 9th. We have several candidates. The C's probably deserve that spot more.

 

[gotime909]

Mize starts with a nibble walk

 

[gotime909]

I really want to start seeing our hitters be more aggressive in hitters counts. Trying to get walks as a priority is idiotic.

 

[gotime909]

Seen a lot of the old timers complaining about these uniforms, but I think they're sharp as hell

 

[gotime909]

AJ apparently doesn't know that leftys actually hit Valdez better the last 2 years.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Rogers getting up to that .200.

 

[gotime909]

Tigers score 2 without hitting the ball over 3 ft in the air

 

[gotime909]

Riley looked like a lefty Baez

 

[Mitchrapp]

They look like a nice pair of pajamas.

 

[gotime909]

Benetti and Gibby actually have a pretty good chemistry

 

[Mitchrapp]

4 pitch inning.

 

[gotime909]

Mize needed that quick inning. 1 less inning from this bullpen. I don't trust anyone out of the pen currently.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Valdez only 50 pitches.

 

[gotime909]

6 strong innings from Mize. Love it

 

[gotime909]

Valdez only 50 pitches.

69

 

[gotime909]

We're just pounding every hit into the dirt

 

[gotime909]

Spencer the double machine!!
