From the stats are a joke file how does farmer who gave up two earned runs to make it a one run game get a hold? He didn’t hold shit

48 Ks and one BB in 3.4 games...whiff city!!

Now 4 games @ asstros....Kittens will reach 90 losses before 40 wins easy.

You gotta be a really shitty relief pitcher to have 7 losses

No actual game thread this afternoon on BYB, just comments in the pregame/postgame threads....that's odd.

I hate the owners of every team in Detroit. Even the Wings now. They need to sell the baseball team to Competent owners soon. Then maybe they won?t have 2 shitty teams.

Little I isn't a hindrance with the Wings like he is with the Tigers. With the cap in the NHL, the GM basically handles everything that he thinks is right.

 

[turok]

All those tall rangy fireballers that the Tigers have drafted over the years, yet very few if any converted into solid, reliable, long-term RPs, SUs, or CLs...just goes to show how shitty their scouting, coaching, and pitcher development has looong been.

My favorite stats. I hope one day they just remove it. Or change the rules of it.

Not his fault. It?s the catcher and coaching staffs fault. Guy had K?d three times already today .


DON?T THROW A STRIKE or even a close pitch ! Batter would have fished.

how do you know he meant to throw a strike. He could have tried to "waste" a pitch or throw his best K pitch and it missed. It's not like he has pinpoint control. He really isn't very good.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Waste a pitch like a foot outside or a foot high doesn't do any good. No one swings at those. You want to throw just outside or just high etc.. Close enough so it's a pitch someone will swing at. Fine line.

Now it all depends if the pitcher can hit those marks.

 

[kalinecountry]

I think that's the problem with Jimenez. He doesn't have a developed second pitch yet that he can throw consistently to get a batter to swing and miss.

Most all the others in the bullpen, when I see they are called in to pitch make me want to look away. AAAA
