Random Dodgers Player
Struck out Reggie in the 1978 WS. Four years earlier, Royal Oak Kimball 4, Hazel Park 1, and he was the starter and loser. But you could see he was talented.

Alex Lange has allowed more walks than hits in 2023. Alex Lange has walked 16.2% of the hitters he's faced this year..thats 6.34 walks per 9.
not a sustainable way to win games.

I've said this multiple times recently..but its impossible to take the Tigers seriously next year if they do not add a leverage reliever capable of closing. Lange can be a really effective reliever, but he just doesn't throw enough strikes. Too much self sabotage to close.

If you think I've been impatient and mean to Scott Harris this year..if there isn't a drastic infusion of major league talent into the roster and a massive upgrade in courage from the POBO..it will become Avila caliber ugly.

A little Riley Greene perspective..if its a full TJ..no problem..he will be ready to DH full time by opening day..if its the modified TJ..he will likely be able to throw by June.

Strong belief AJ Hinch has had it up to his visor filling out too many lineup cards with: Matt Vierling, Zach McKinstry, Andy Ibanez, Zack Short, Tyler Nevin, Andre Lipcius, and Nick Maton. He has help coming (Colt Keith, Jace Jung), but still would bet on a big offseason deal.

Vest with a 5 out save. Throws a 96 mph fastball right down broadway to end it. Had to navigate the tying run from a error by Mckinstry. Nice win. Should have won 2 of 3 games.
