    Looks like the first four Tigers are 1-4 against Barnes so really nothing to go on.
  2. illinoisredsox
    Going to try to find out the stats on him but that would have been my first option.
  3. illinoisredsox
    Pete Abraham had a very telling tweet I saw on Gamecast: The first 4 hitters up this inning for the Tigers were 11-29 (.378) against Tazawa and 15-35 (.429) against Ziegler). That's pick your poison time.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Enlighten us on how you would have handled the situation?
  5. illinoisredsox
    So who would you have put in? Ziegler hasn't exactly covered himself with glory here. Managing a bullpen is a lot easier when somebody can actually get outs.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Don't know if I would go that far, but he has to be limited to mop up/early relief roles at this point.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Junichi has given the team a lot over the past 6-7 years, but he is toast.
  8. illinoisredsox
    Ross Jr. did his job.
  9. illinoisredsox
    So who hits it out, Cabrera or one of the Martinez's?
  10. illinoisredsox
    This is about the point where the pen imploded against Detroit in Boston a few weeks ago, wasn't it?
  11. illinoisredsox
    I'm more concerned that Tazawa has 0 confidence in Tazawa right now.
  12. illinoisredsox
    That's a mistake on Betts' part. He has to go and draw the throw, even if he is put out. Ideally, he gets in a rundown and let's Hanley get to 3rd (and maybe JBJ to 2nd). EDIT- But of course with the kind of year Betts is having, it works out for him.
  13. illinoisredsox
    I was about to ask if Xander can bunt and should he; the first pitch answered that question.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Well, the 2nd wasn't pretty, but Clay has done his job so far. I certainly would have signed up for 4 innings and 1 run. Can they squeeze one more out of him? I say you let him start the inning but if there's trouble, get him out. Can't push it too hard the 3rd trip through the order.

    Problem is those type of guys are 20th century. With 12 (and sometimes 13) man pitching staffs, teams can't afford to stash a good field/weak bat type on the bench. In the days of 10-11 man staffs, they could.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Can't see it but let me guess. Fastball down the middle taken for strike one. Hittable pitch fouled off for strike 2. Breaking pitch down and away swung over the top of for strike 3. Am I close?
  17. illinoisredsox
    If it came to that, he would have 3 of Pedroia, Ortiz, Holt or Shaw to ph for the pitcher(s) (I'm assuming one of them would be used to hit for Holoday). Pomeranz has some decent numbers for a pitcher, so he could be used as well (might be very useful in a bunting situation). All but Ortiz could be used in the double switch game as well, to postpone a pitcher "needing" to hit.
  18. illinoisredsox
    No they wouldn't. The midweek games are not the same as the Sunday night ones. They would have just carried a different game.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Not much; it's not that long a flight, maybe 1 1/2 hours. A bigger concern is what time did they leave? More than likely today's game will not be that big a deal, tomorrow is when they will really feel it.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Per Baseball Reference, Leon is not a rookie. He was on the 2015 rookie list, but is not on the 2016 one. The limit is 130 ABs or 45 days on the active roster (except for DL time) so he lost his rookie status last season; got to remember he had nearly 100 ABs with the Nationals before being traded to the Red Sox. Add that to the 128 he had with Boston last year and he was well over 200 ABs before the 2016 season started.

    Back to the newly named topic. As I posted above, August 18, 1967 - Tony C. Was beaned by Jack Hamilton of the Angels. Hard to believe it was that long ago. He was only 22 years old and already had hit over 100 homers.
  22. illinoisredsox
    What's MLB got to do with any of it? The only time a start time is dictated is when national television (ESPN or Fox) is involved. Otherwise the home team sets it. Every Thursday Tiger home game this year has been a 1:08 start. Unfortunately for the Red Sox, this is the only time it opens a series; the others were/are the final game.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Every Thursday home game for the Tigers this season is a 1:08 EDT start. Unfortunately for the Sox, this is the only instance of such a game starting a series.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Yes it does. Had Davis not taken him deep it would have counted as a shutout.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Still going to be an issue getting to Detroit at a decent hour given the weather forecast.
