I know he sucks as a defender but I don’t think he has much left to prove as a hitter and any offense would be good for you guys. I obviously have no ill will for you guys and hope you can win the division tbh but it’s impressive that they have the record that they do with that offense. Pitching staff specifically the bullpen has been amazing
Bullpen has been great; offense is a disaster. I think 60% of out runs have been scored in 8th inning or later. Definitely not sustainable, however, you'd think they would start clicking at some point.
Been interesting because the Rangers essentially have the opposite team at the moment. The Tigers strengths that they do have, have been winning. Shutting the Rangers down back to back games at least shows some sustainability.
Also, maybe I'm just an optimist, but I'm not ready to lump Greene in the bust category yet. He's actually a +1 war player so far this season, double any other hitter on this team. He has room to grow
Yeah it was lower than usual in the 1st because they were talking about it on the Rangers broadcast but I guess it was just mechanical because he’s absolutely shitting on the Rangers now
Came itt before getting game on, was not expecting to see 5 ip 1 h 1 bb 5 k with 43 of 59 pitches for strike when checking the box score
My post was made after the first 3 batters: ground ball back to Skubal, he loses his glove, makes bad throw to 1st and Semien is safe by a split second ground ball single the other way by Seager that snuck through the hole walk bases loaded, no outs
he has cost us at least 3-4 games already with his defense and bat. He’s not playable. If he was a 7th round pick he’d be in AAA.
Last chance to get your recommendations in for the bust list being released tomorrow. Maeda was elevated from #4 on last week's list to official bust yesterday. Feel free to shoot me a DM.
I like it. That was the nickname I came up with for him back in 2021. I'm great at seeking out busts.
Yo Jack Flaherty. You're on notice. Either put up tonight, or ass your ass is making the Torklebust Memorial Hot List tomorrow.
Tik tok boy is taking this seriously Since last week he is hitting 9/23 with 5 bb and 8 rbi, didn't want to risk the declaration
Nice pitch on an 0-2 count. Fucking garbage we signed these two hacks. Rather see Manning get lit up.
Happy Saturday Boys and thank you for the bust recommendation DM's this week. We had a busy week on the bust list with Maeda being the first bust victim of the season. He climbed all the way from #4 to being declared a bust. This goes to show you, nobody is safe. If you're on the list, you can be called upon at any moment. Torkelbust Memorial Hot List - Week 3. Colt Keith - We have a new arrival at #1. He has officially reached the status of being able to declared a bust by hitting 69 at bats on the season. I'm firm believer in him, and not ready to give up yet. However, time may be running out. He needs to put up or shut up this week. Max Clark (Tik Tok Boy) - Tik Tok Boy hit a bunch of singles this week and dropped off from the #1 spot. Slashing .289/.382/.693 on the season, and is 8 for his last 15. Parker Meadows - Congrats to Parker for hitting his first home run this week. Not enough to get removed from the list as his batting average is still dog shit at .095. Dillon Dingler - had a nice week, but like Parker, not enough to get removed from the list.
Torklebust is the worst defensive 1st baseman in MLB history. You can’t play him any more in the field. Make him a DH, and move Carpenter to 1st.
