Pat Caputo says not to judge Inge's spring too harshly as ST player evals are "meaningless." What a boof.

Brandon Inge's average falls to .159, but he 'feels great'.
freep

You tell 'em Cringey.

Hey guys, go easy on Brandon Inge, he's been hitting the ball hard right at the defenders for over 10 years now, that 10 year run of "bad luck" is bound to break sometime this decade, he's due for an absolutely blistering stretch where he hits like .215 over 25 or 20 games. Man, .215, wouldn't that be something?

Thank God, I feel much better about Inge now that Pat has spoken

im over my breaking point with his ****ing bullshit:

“I feel great at the plate,” Inge said. “I consider a quality at-bat squaring it up and hitting it on the screws. I’ve done that a lot. I don’t have much to show for average, which I really don’t care about. I’ve learned -- especially after last year (when he hit .197) -- I don’t care one bit. I’m having fun playing baseball, and I will continue to have fun.

"I will never let numbers bring me down again. I’ve hit a lot of balls right at people.”

HE DOESNT CARE ABOUT NUMBERS? HE DOESNT CARE ABOUT GETTING ON BASE?? A QUALITY AT BAT IS "HITTING IT ON THE SCREWS???" **** YOU, YOU ****ING STUPID, SELFISH, EGOTISTICAL ASSHOLE. I HOPE YOU HAVE A RUN-IN WITH THE BOOTY WARRIOR.

?It?s still coming around,? Inge recently said. ?The line drives are good because those will turn into home runs.

"I hit one (last week) that was an absolute rocket to the left fielder. If I hit that one up in the air, it?s going way out.?

FU Inge!!!

 

[grandy]

Anyone have a stat on how many times Inge has killed a Tiger rally?

 

[coulomb]

I'm as disappointed in inge's numbers as anyone else, i believe he is a "sacred cow", on the roster because he has seniority. But what do people want him to say? "I suck, I have always sucked, I will continue to suck". I don't think thats going to happen..

No, but we want him to not act like a good. And realize stats are important and quit saying shit like "1bad year doesn't make a career, I'm a he hitter so average doesn't mean anything to me" etc. He's acting like a horses ass.

Leyland sees encouraging signs with Inge....oh brother.

http://www.mlive.com/tigers/index.ss...eyond_bat.html
Detroit Tigers will look beyond batting average when evaluating Brandon Inge this spring.
from Mlive

First, Leyland said Inge was going to have to hit and now these stories and comments come out.

Two teams could possibly use/need Inge, if the Tigers were to trade him and he agreed having 10/5 rights...phillies withy Polanco hurting, and utley out, and more recently this afternoon with the rockies dropping casey blake as their 3rd baseman.

Pat played high school baseball, which makes him as much an expert at evaluating major-league talent as me.

Brandon Inge's destiny is down to final out.
from the detnews

Cringe : "I love to play baseball and I'm not finished yet," Inge said Tuesday. "Not even close to finished.
"I'm not worried about it. I'm not letting it get to me. I'm gonna play baseball for a long time."
"I don't care what my average is, my swing is kind of right where I want it to be," he said after he had three at-bats Tuesday ? a hard single up the middle, a ground-out to shortstop, and a walk.
"As opposed to last year, when my timing was perfect but I couldn't hit the ball out, my strength is there. I've hit a lot better than my average. I've hit a lot of balls hard and right at somebody."

Inge believes another comeback is in the cards. If not, there will be no return to the minors.

"I doubt it," he said. "I did that once. I try not to be one-sided about things. I felt like I owed that to them (Tigers) last year. We've had a great relationship. And I'm sure this is tough for them, too. They can't determine anything off of spring training, and yet they're gonna have to.
"But one thing I've made clear is that I don't make decisions off one bad year. I'm kind of tired of selling myself short. And I know I'm a lot better hitter than other guys out there."

That last statement just sums it up. Does he think he is in little league?

did anyone see this Fox/Detroit screencap from last year?

 

[Mitchrapp]

"As opposed to last year, when my timing was perfect.." - Did he really just say that?

:lmao:

 

[kalinecountry]

:lmao:

Yeah, he was talking about the check swing with eyes closed as timing was perfect.
or turning in to the ump with a curve strike on the inside corner.
what a putz...complete denial.

Ummm

How can this guy not be absolutely hated in the clubhouse?

Before it was just sad, now I am honestly starting to despise Brandon Inge. This guy is a delusional asshole. How about a little humility for a career .235 hitter? Better hitter than who Brandon? The bat boys? The hotdog guy in the stands? You are the worst hitter on the team and it's not even a close race.
