4/9 @ Tigers

[Tedballgame]

MLB players have so many poor fundamentals. Most Players today are just too lazy to work on all of the little things that you need in order to be really good. Edited April 9, 2023 by Tedballgame

Excellent job by Kutter.

[d-money]

Good pitching thus far but need more runs.

[moonslav59]

Ya agree. Just spitballing but if Casas doesn’t hit then Duvall to 1B, Kike to CF, Chang/Mondesi/Story at SS. Turner 1B/3B/DH. But Changs not going to hit likely. So is the potential D upgrade of the shuffle worth it? We’re stuck. Hopefully the D will improve.

 

Why not Turner to 1B, Yoshida to DH and Duvall to LF.

 

On D:

Turner> Duvall at 1B

Duvall> Yoshida LF

Kike > Duvall CF

[guinness22]

Yup like it. So maybe some degree of freedom. I am guessing the schedule of the next couple weeks may dictate a shuffle. But it’s early so I am hopeful.

[d-money]

Good measuring stick coming up for this team after this series.

[Tedballgame]

Winckowski is performing well. At least it is some return for Bennintendi

And, he's still pre-Arb, so we may yet get plus return on that deal.

 

Who-da-thunk?

[moonslav59]

Nice buckle-down by Martin.

Casaslam

[Tedballgame]

Casas with homer off of a lefty. Very good sign.

[guinness22]

Uh oh. Duvall’s surgically repaired left wrist. Edited April 9, 2023 by guinness22

[Jasonbay44]

That Duvall injury didnt look good. I hope im wrong but that looks like a potential serious wrist injury...

[Tedballgame]

That did not look good. Hope for the best.

[Tedballgame]

Not the way I wanted to get Kike out of shortstop.

[Tedballgame]

Kenley making it exciting

[guinness22]

Oh boy. Devers gets hit on the hand. Duvall injury looks bad. Kenley has the bases juiced. What a turn of events.

[moonslav59]

Jansen giving us his Kimbrel impression.

All the makings of taking the fork in the road towards a snakebite season.

 

Let's hope Jansen take the positive fork in the road.

[moonslav59]

Jansen be Baddoo!

[Tedballgame]

Sweep

[guinness22]

Whew. Jansen regroups and shuts it down. Good W. On to TB.

[moonslav59]

With last year's pen, we'd be 3-6, right now.

I think you are giving last year’s bullpen more credit than they deserve!!!!!

[jacksonianmarch]

Duvall injury reminds me of Matsui’s injury in 08

[moonslav59]

The starters lost more games for us, early on, last year than the pen, but you have a point.

It looked real bad.

 

He's getting X-Rays.
