Carpenter tossing batting practice for the astros tonight 3-0 already before the tigers bat

 

[tigermud]

Tigers go down with relative ease interrupted by a lead off single quickly erased on a GIDP Astro’s score three more in the second off crapenter

6-0

Miglers bat speed looks down to me he’s not taking many aggressive swings IMO there’s probably some sort of nagging injury going on we’ll find out about in another month

Proceeded by "the fans made me keep on playing."

 

[kalinecountry]

Is Miggy swinging with just his upper body and not using his legs

 

[tigermud]

That might be it not sure, it’s just doesn’t look right never seen him flat out miss so many pitches either maybe he needs his eyes checked too idk

 

[tigermud]

Not just miggy but I also think lot of guys are just not quite getting the front foot down soon enough and their timing mechanisms look slow and soft to me even nicks bounce is less pronounced this year than I remember it last year it?s like they are all trying to guide the ball to a hole or gap instead of just focusing on hitting it hard somewhere, cept for Ronny rod, he just grips and Rips and if the pitcher was dumb enough to throw it near the strike zone he does damage

Nick's problem is too many swings at shit pitches. Especially that "outside by a foot" pitch.

Agree and I think it?s due to his ready position timing mechanism is off and it?s not the same as last year, does the hitting coach ever watch games on TV and or compare good vs bad, you can really see things from tube viewing angle that you won?t pick up watching from the dugout

If he isn't using his lower body/legs his back and herniated disc could be the problem, I'm just guessing, but you use your back for every single movement.
If you have ever thrown your back out, you would know what I am talking about.

I know. I've know since I was 20. Just for the people who don't know, it sucks .

I do, tweaked it once working out hours before a 5k, couldn?t move for a good hour but then forced myself up and ran the damn thing anyway after taking a bunch of tumeric and testosterone supplements

 

[tigermud]

And we have an inside the park homer for springer

 

[tigermud]

That Tyler white guy for Houston looks like your typical beer leaguer

 

[tigermud]

Might just as well move Ronny to clean up and miggy down to 7th

 

[tigermud]

nick needs to get back to his stance and timing mechanisms he was using last year it?s not a huge difference but it?s enough to notice it?s not right

 

[tigermud]

40 games in
Miggy, nick, Goodrum, Harrison, jones, Greiner, numbers way down and or just plain horrid, lots of low averages in this offense

 

[tigermud]

It wouldn’t bother me one bit if J.V. no hits us tomorrow, I’m fact I’ll be rooting for him to do just that.

Given how shitty the Tigers lineup is, I wonder if they would put an * next to it if he did.
