I think people believe the Tigers are further away from being good than they really are. They aren't getting rid of pitching, it's a huge strength. If they add two bats this off-season, they are going to be a playoff contender. It's almost like people think they need a full rebuild.

Actually their record is better than I thought it was.  Still, they may need a 15-20 game improvement. Possible for next year but 2026 is more likely.

Yeah, I mean they have issues at some positions but 95% of all teams do. But they could flip Flaherty for a bat and grab a couple in the off-season and I think they are a legit WC contender with the pitching they have.

I’ll take the other side of this. I see fools gold with the Tigers. Not enough track record with any of their players. Jobe definitely looks to be the real deal though.

They have holes at SS, 1B and 3B. They are above league average in OPS+ in every other position but DH at 95 OPS+.

If you are taking players with under 200 AB. How many Tigers would start for the 2024 Orioles. Greene that’s it. Maybe a backup catcher.

Okay, so they are young. They have a lot of talent, I can tell you don't watch them play much. So our top 100 guys are all going to hit and theirs are going to bust huh? Interesting.

I never said that. To be a World Series contender you have to have elite hitting pieces. They don’t have that in my perspective and they are almost impossible to acquire. Yankees were lucky to get Soto, Texas was pretty lucky to get Seager. I also think sometime inflated pitching numbers can mask real issues. Am I a Flaherty hater no, but I think he’s somewhere between the pitcher this year and last 4 years.

Look how quickly the Royals turned it around with good pitching.  When you have pitching, it doesn't take much hitting.

I would say the same thing about them. I personally think all of their starting staff is over performing this year. So with an injury or two and some regression you are stuck with a team with Witt Jr and a couple good hitters. Look at the Rays last year. They had the best pitching staff in baseball until McClanahan got hurt. This year they are 21st in baseball.

I think Ragans is legit, but I agree otherwise.

      It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.

      Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time.

      9/15: O's Head Home After A Loss To The Tigers

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late.

      Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes.

      Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By now · Posted

      Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!

      The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
