vs. Tigers 7/19

[scOtt]

For me it's gotta be Reimold. What does he bring to the table, except sentimental feelings of what could have been?

Speed. OBP.

He's still in there in 8th. Pitch count at 117.

My mlb app screwed up yet again. Showed Jansen was in.

For as good as Johnny Cueto is, I still don't think I'd trust him in a big game. For every great game he pitches it seems like he has an equal awful game...Today being one of the awful performances.

Yeah... but how many bullpens have one that is also asked to get the righty's out as often as Matusz is?

That would be the Managers fault, not the pitchers fault, right? If you know a guy can't get RHB out and you keep allowing him to pitch to them, well, it's hard to blame the pitcher.

You aren't talking about today are you? No specialists with a 7 run lead.

I remember when pitchers pitched 300 innings in a season, and 120 or more pitches in the game. I don't think injuries were anymore prevalent than they are now, with today's five-man rotations and pitch counts limited.

They weren't. If anything we are seeing more injuries despite fewer innings thrown. But everyone is so much smarter today then the one's that managed the game for over a hundred years so what do you and I know?

3 outs, nice and easy.

Wheels Wieters.

Who gets the 9th?

Speed. OBP.

His speed is just okay.. very replaceable.

And he hasn't been able to get on base at even an average rate for several years now.

Basically.. it's been a long time now since Reimold was above average at anything.

Adam is in pull mode. That's not good on outer edge pitches. If he wants to be .300 hitter, he needs to hit the ball where it's pitched.He had a good day today pulling pitches on the inner half of the plate.

Hunter, who plays it into a save op for Zach?

I wish we played tomorrow. I don't feel like dealing with another off day after all last week. [emoji17]

I should have tried harder to make it apparent that I was agreeing with you.

O'Day. Hasn't pitched in a week.

Been a while since I looked at the stats, but I guess you're right. Well at least when compared to Pearce, Parmalee, and Lough. Pretty sad state of affairs when all 4 mentioned are hitting under .230 and a .309 OBP is your saving grace.
