Skubal loads the bases with no outs

 

[gotime909]

Torkelson still has options, right? Probably time to send him and meadows down for a bit.

I don't understand why AJ is batting Tork 3rd. I would bat Carp 3rd

Carpenter with a HR

1-1

It's really starting to reflect poorly on the hitting coaches that the one guy who went outside the org for advice has an OPS over 1000

I thought I read that some of the other players went to the same guy over the off season??? Maybe it was just a dream I had

Don't think so it's this guy I read on

Independent hitting coach puts Tigers on blast for Kerry Carpenter communication

'Teacherman' Richard Schenck took to social media to shade the Tigers' hitting staff after success with DH Kerry Carpenter.

here's an idea, just hire this guy!

If you care, there's an ex-MLB player named Jeff Frye who is outing Teacherman as a fraud on Twitter. Make your own assessment.

I have no idea if he is a fraud or not. All I know...most of the Tigers players can't hit, and the one that went to "teacherman" can.

 

[tomdalton22]

Parker Meadows is going to need to go see his brothers psychiatrist soon. Hitting 0.053

 

[biggunsbob]

Didn't we lose a hitting coach to the Yankess also ? Idk.

We just can seem to develop any hitters.

Skubal gives up a 0-2 single.
Bad pitch according to radio broadcast team. Can't throw that pitch so far ahead of the count .

Skubal 4 runs only 2 earned runs. Down 4-1.
Need some late inning Magic sgain !

 

[nydo77]

Tarik Skubal just threw a couple mistakes to the heart of the order; 4-1.

 

[gotime909]

Wouldn't be a popular move, but I'd trade Skubal for bats ASAP

I don't either. I think that it's more about that what he's showing Carpenter and guys like Judge doesn't apply to kids and amateurs, and this TM guy charges $$$$$ for kids to hire him. It's quite the ongoing confrontation.

 

[biggunsbob]

Carpenter has green light on 3-0 Count. Not sure I would do that when ypu need base runners but I guess he is one of the few threats we have.

 

[biggunsbob]

Texas gives a run back . Sweet.
4-2

He feels confident enough to have discussed this to Fryes face

Meadows hits a HR.. He'll never get sent down now..
