    next 9 games are against Baltimore, Reds, and Pitt. Would be nice to win 6 of 9. Looks like we get Skenes on the Pitt series.

    And the 4th one wasn't a great start and the team lost 7-0 to Cleveland.

    His last 3 starts:
    18 IP
    8 hits
    1 ER
    21 K
    5 BB

    A dominant 0.50 ERA and 0.72 WHIP. And the team is 3-0 in those starts.

    1. Detroit Tigers
    Win average: 99.6 (Last: 93.7, 4th)
    In the playoffs: 99.3% (Last: 91.7%)
    Champions: 15.6% (Last: 10.1%)


    What they need to do before the deadline: With the Tigers a near cinch to return to the postseason, we're way past wondering if their breakout is real. The Tigers are a better than 50-50 proposition to land the American League's top seed. Still, it's not too early for Detroit to be thinking about an October bullpen that could use a big strikeout arm (or two) for its high-leverage mix. The Tigers' bullpen has been very good, but ranks in the bottom five in strikeout, swing-and-miss and chase rates. Every team wants that for their bullpen, so the sooner the Tigers jump into the trade mix, the better. Ideally, they'd hit July 31 with as much of their heavy deadline lifting already done as the market will allow.

    Idk, I still think bats are more important than a bullpen arm, but ideally we get both

    Was in the middle of bitching about this offense again struggling against a 5+ era pitcher, but Baez just came through. Got to score more though

    Of course we are gonna make Povich look good. He’s a former Nebraska pitcher, has good stuff and put up great numbers in the minors but has been pretty bad or at least really inconsistent in the majors. Has had major command issues.

    His adopted father was a psycho who would post on the Nebraska Rivals board (and then later On3) and would threaten to fight posters irl all the time.

    Law:


    Notes on Tigers’ prospects Max Anderson, Thayron Liranzo
    Detroit infielder Max Anderson has been hitting well all season for Erie, spurring at least one reader to ask why he wasn’t on my ranking of the top 50 prospects in the minors from last week. The short answer to that is that it’s a ranking based on long-term outlook and potential rather than short-term performance, but in Anderson’s specific case, it’s that his game is really limited beyond the hit tool. He will get to the majors and probably play for a while because his ability to put the ball in play and do so hard enough to sustain solid or better batting averages is real. He’s hitting .339/.378/.554 through Friday’s games with just a 16.1 percent strikeout rate. As you can infer from the triple-slash line, though, he doesn’t walk (5 percent on the dot) and swings at a lot of pitches beyond the zone. And while he does hit the ball pretty hard, his hands are so far out from his body that he doesn’t have great control or direction, so there aren’t a ton of line drives here and I question whether that .200+ ISO power is sustainable.

    In the field, he has no position. He was standing at second base and had very limited range, even ceding a play to the shortstop on his side of the bag at one point. He’s built like a catcher, but as far as I know, he’s never played back there, at least not since high school. If you back all of this up and just assume he’ll still hit .300 even with the approach and swing questions, just without many walks and maybe more of a .450-ish slug, that’s an above-average regular if he sticks at second base and maybe not a regular at first base or DH.

    He’s an outlier in many ways, but if you sum up all of the probabilities here, the expected value is probably an average regular or below. Oh, and the runner Miller threw out trying to go second to third on a grounder to short? That was Anderson, with the TOOTBLAN.

    Thayron Liranzo is off to a lousy start for Erie, and it wasn’t a great day for him at the plate, with some bad whiffs on pitches he either should have hit (90 mph in the zone from a right-hander) or laid off (several sliders down below the zone). He was fine behind the plate, not challenged in any way, and he does have bat speed. He got off to a terrible start last year as well, pulling out of it in May, so maybe he’s just someone who needs a longer adjustment period. His swing decisions in this game were bad, and that lines up with his year to date, unfortunately.

    I just meant that is a comp. Can hit but doesn’t have a position he can play well. Best suited for DH but might not have the bat to justify full time DH.
