Some other fun Parker Meadows stats:
His 0.7 bWAR ranks 4th among position players on the Tigers
+3 DRS in CF already (Riley Greene was at -7)

If there is an 80% chance Colt Keith is the regular 3B for DET in 2024..why isn't he playing 3B for DET tonight..

Javy Baez barrel per plate appearance 2.8%
previous career low 5.6%
EV is still fine..frequency of hard contact is alarming.

Tigers have 33 home runs in August, which is the 9th most in baseball.
They also only have 5 of those with RISP. A .227 AVG / .619 OPS with RISP in August, which is not only bad? it?s worse than the team?s already 26th ranked season splits with RISP (.238 / .704).

Scott Harris and Chris Illitch
if your home record is 28-37 on August 27
you are a bad baseball team.

INF Isan D?az has cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple A Toledo. Why?

Scott Harris said this morning on 97.1 FM there is no call-up imminent.
Asked specifically about Keith or JHM, Harris said: "It is not one of those two guys. Sorry, Tigers fans".

Tork swings at a high one by espns gamecast. I do not have the game tonight.

 

[biggunsbob]

Is Bo really any good ? Seems like every close game I see him in he gives up some runs..
When we have a lead or are way behind he doesn?t .

[biggunsbob]

Kelly will not be back next season. He is not a very good player. He is even worse then Haase I think.

Tigers just strikeout way to many times and a terrible in situation baseball.
