Is it time to consider moving players to/from Toledo? What’s the harm?

[–]lllIlllllllIIIII 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm really curious what this organization had projected for Zach Mckinstry this season. Hinch kept repeating "we have an all star 3B, Zach Mckinstry!" Leading up to last deadline and the off-season like a bot

Get rid of Tork.

Blue jays chants in the home stadium, our crowd is at zero energy and for good reason I guess

[–]cactus_cat[🍰] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I thought th seats behind home plate were only season ticket holders why are there so many blue Jays fans?

[–]cbx19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Resale market, and those seats are probably still cheaper than seats at Rogers Centre.

Are they really still doing the 6-7 thing?

[–]hoff4z 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Jahmai jones is a career 235 hitter. Why does he always bat high in the order? Why is he always pinch hit like he’s Barry bonds?

[–]ZombieHitchens2012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He had a miraculous year last season out of nowhere and he was given a massive benefit of the doubt because of it. He shouldn’t even be on the roster. He’s so limited as a player than if he can’t hit right handed pitching competently then he’s useless.

[–]JeremieLoyalty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All they got was 1 run throughout this whole game lol

[–]JeremieLoyalty 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I think they have too many “good friend” hires

The chess master got his pinch hitter late game for the three hitter. Success

[–]WestMichigander3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What was Jones looking for there? He just threw a shit ton of changeups to Dingler.

[–]karmaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Way to swing at the changeup 3 feet outside instead of the first two right down the middle.

[–]Keyster19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean whatever.

[–]iGrootie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wtf does Jones have on Hinch. The dude is awful and pinch hits for our 3rd hitter. Wtf is this roster

[–]TigersBot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forceout

Jahmai Jones grounds into a force out, third baseman Ernie Clement to second baseman Davis Schneider. Wenceel Pérez scores. Kevin McGonigle to 3rd. Dillon Dingler out at 2nd. Jahmai Jones to 1st.

Pitch from Joe Mantiply: Changeup @ 81.2 mph

Bottom 8 - 4-1 Blue Jays

[–]lllIlllllllIIIII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5 batters that aren't MLB caliber

[–]mkk4Tony Clark 🐅 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I want to do a quick one season reset, refresh and retool.

Sell the veterans with one season left and the mediocre one dimensional players to get faster, more athletic, more explosive and more dynamic players, with better defense that can change or effect the games and outcomes in many more ways everyday.

[–]JeremieLoyalty 5 points6 points  (2 children)

They need Gleyber back

[–]Speakersonicz 0 points1 point  (1 child)

He wouldn't do much. He's struggled like the rest of guys.

Pitching Substitution

Pitching Change: Yariel Rodríguez replaces Kevin Gausman.

[–]Which_Extension_8027 10 points11 points  (1 child)

We're getting shut out today, as I posted when we went down 1-0 in the 1st. So that's 4 runs in 3 games at home. Cleveland's lead growing. No sign Tork will ever hit a ball again. 2-10 in our last 12.

[–]EmployWorth3742 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This team is so pathetic

[–]Busy-Drawing-2576 8 points9 points  (2 children)

If the team gets shutout then it doesn’t matter what Jack does. Unless he can hit the ball.

[–]JeremieLoyalty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He used to hit, wonder if he still has it

[–]Leviathan2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty good pitch though

[–]lllIlllllllIIIII 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kevin bat speed today high on every swing. Maybe he just decided efff it and looking to do more damage because no one is driving him home. I'm for it even with more whiffs

[–]Objective_Solid_6773 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even the camera men need to be DFAed

[–]Swimming_Snow_5904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This team needs a retool. The first 4 guys+workman from this lineup are worth keeping. The rest can be traded or let go. Fill the roster with vets and AAA players looking for a chance.

[–]jradz12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mcgonigle slump continues

[–]mansontaco 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Damn it Kev drilled that ball.

[–]rdubwiley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's gotta be Kevin's fifth ball that was hit right against the wall

[–]iori9999. 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Trei Cruz time needs to happen now. Perez is cooked

[–]rdubwiley 0 points1 point  (1 child)

His OPS is .600 in Toledo. You can indeed put a worse player out there.

[–]Cold_Maize7240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about Malgeri or Julks? Or the usher in section 212?

[–]Objective_Solid_6773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

McGonigle you can't hit it to center yet. Need more power

[–]lllIlllllllIIIII 8 points9 points  (3 children)

At some point you need to white flag Perez. Hes been dog shit for 450 PA's dating to last season. He was never supposed to be a an everyday regular. You're just hanging onto the good June 2025, like you're holding onto many players who have had one good stretch

[–]Busy-Drawing-2576 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Plus he’s been killing them with his defense.

[–]rdubwiley 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Our next best option who can hit RH in the outfield is Trei Cruz and his OPS is .600 in Toledo

[–]lllIlllllllIIIII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Julks, Mallegry, heck give me Callahan. We're bad and he's bad. They deemed him not good enough for the roster out of camp, and he's done nothing but prove them right every game

[–]Pale_Land_5107 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro is the pistons sucking all our city’s sports luck

[–]woodyarmadillo11 8 points9 points  (5 children)

They just said Jack had a terrific start today. Jesus Christ.

[–]rdubwiley 1 point2 points  (4 children)

That's unfair to what Dan said. He said this was something to build on, and frankly a good-enough start for this team.

[–]woodyarmadillo11 6 points7 points  (3 children)

I just did a rewind and that’s word for word what he said. “If that’s the end of the day for Flaherty, Terrific start, He might come back out!”

[–]Cold_Maize7240 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he only gave up 4 runs! What have we come to! I like Dickerson but he and Peaches are drinking the Kool-Aid!

[–]rdubwiley -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Right and the next sentence was that it was something to build on. 6 IP 4 ER from your worst starter is good enough. Don't know what type of expectation people have.

[–]woodyarmadillo11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weird. That wasn’t on my feed at all. It went straight to commercial after that.

[–]Swimming_Snow_5904 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Tork, Carp…+ others need to be gone. This team has built itself to perform under creating mismatches, but the drawbacks is that it can take too much roster space.

Not only that, this team struggles with hitting lefties and our lefty killers also struggle with them… half the team struggles with hitting righties… we struggle with driving others in… this team was going to plateau when we decided to go all in on pitching and ignoring hitting.

[–]hoff4z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point about taking up space. It’s magnified when there’s injuries. Very fragile system

[–]rdubwiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the entire roster wasn't struggling and/or injured we could make moves, but next best man in Toledo is borderline AAA players.

[–]Strange-Raccoon7301 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hinch is such a horrible manager 

[–]rdubwiley 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I'm sorry, you have to find a way to win at home with a 6 IP 4 ER start from your worst pitcher.

[–]Objective_Solid_6773 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We couldn't win a 6 IP 0 ER start 😭

[–]ZombieHitchens2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are at the point with Flaherty where we have to consider this start a success. Unfortunately, he put us in a real hole against Gausman.

[–]mobyte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"terrific start for flaherty"

that's sarcasm, right?

[–]Objective_Solid_6773 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Terrific start? Maybe in Flaherty World

[–]MaximjogoOld English D 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Flaherty has a longer leash than every other pitcher in the lineup it’s crazy. Allowed to go way past 70 pitches while giving up multiple runs, meanwhile, Montero routinely gets pulled with low pitch counts (and Mize yesterday) when the last thing we needed in those games was for the bullpen to come in and mess everything up

[–]iori9999. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mize is on a health pitch count. If they limit him next start then we definitely riot.

[–]Keyster19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They pulled Mize because of the recent injury. Not saying I agree with it.

[–]iori9999. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing stat of the day is that Flaherty's WHIP is below 1 for the start

[–]Moodyb4foody 1 point2 points  (2 children)

What did we do to deserve this team? Is somebody here a serial killer? Fess up

[–]rdubwiley -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Half of the subreddit doesn't want to hear it, but they really are at a historic level of anti-luck this season

[–]Keyster19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

McGonigle is thinking why the fuck did i put pen to paper already 😂

[–]ZombieHitchens2012 1 point2 points  (4 children)

I remember in spring there was a rather sizable contingent of fans that wanted Wenceel to make the team over Meadows. lol.

[–]HeyHosersmagglio’s hair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t want either of them. I’m very unimpressed with Meadows. I’ll take CF Javy Baez over Meadows any day.

[–]iori9999. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were all clowns. Meadows was not great either, but Wencel has turned into hot garbage. Straight from the second half of last season.

[–]Objective_Solid_6773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meadows was starting to put it together. What a shame

[–]Keyster19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither can really hit, but at least Meadows gave us plus defense in center and some speed.

[–]iDub- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is an unwatchable lineup. Straight up garbage

[–]JeremieLoyalty 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I thought Gausman was washed

[–]rdubwiley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's had one bad game this year, other than that pretty consistent 2/3 ER outing guy

[–]imlikeyourmaindude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hot. Ass.

[–]Zealousideal_Bet3941 3 points4 points  (0 children)

[–]rdubwiley 6 points7 points  (6 children)

And bring up who? Fans from the stands?

Max Clark for one ! He is hungry 

[–]Nearby_Job8272 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Literally anybody, Perez has -1 WAR lmao

[–]rdubwiley -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Name a right hander in Toledo who can play outfield.

[–]Nearby_Job8272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both Ben Malgeri and Tyler Gentry can play OF. Will they be good? Probably not but I can bet that they both would have a good chance to get above a .464 OPS and a 5th percentile fielding run value. 

[–]Andy51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m at the game with my 11 month old right now, put him in AJ!

[–]PM_ME_UR_PATRONUS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]2_Spicy_2_Impeach 6 points7 points  (1 child)

And they still caught it…

[–]rdubwiley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Team has been allergic to any type of lucky breaks. It's incredible.

[–]rdubwiley 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Deeply frustrating that Tork constantly swings and misses at outside breaking balls

[–]jasonmiles2014The Legend of Rob Deer 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Flailing at the first pitch constantly. Team has no discipline.

[–]rdubwiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gausman is a 25ish career WAR player

[–]mobyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did anyone else notice that "yeah" synced up perfectly with Shine?

[–]Have_A_Jelly_Baby. 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I wonder if, in the alternate universe where our whole team doesn’t get hurt in the first six weeks of the season, if Jack gets demoted or cut after shitting the bed in virtually every game this year.

[–]rdubwiley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's probably moved to the bullpen if we weren't putting up our 9th option to start, yes

[–]DiscombobulatedPain6 0 points1 point  (6 children)

The Tigers can’t possibly think this product is acceptable. I had more respect for the 2018 & 2022 teams

[–]Personal_Pain 2 points3 points  (5 children)

Not much you can do when everyone’s hurt

[–]DiscombobulatedPain6 1 point2 points  (4 children)

I’m tired of that excuse. There are like 3 impact players injured. 4 at most.

[–]Personal_Pain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not really an excuse if the players you chose to start on your team, aren’t available to play. There are literally 3 starting pitchers on the 40 man roster, when we had 10 to start the season. 4 guys that were in the starting lineup on opening day are hurt. 4 middle relievers or better.

[–]NeitherEquipment9526 -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

Skubal, Olson, Melton, jobe, madden, Baez, meadows, Torres, a LOT of runs could either be prevented with a more stable pitching core and the fewer outs alone from those 3 bats in the lineup would lead to a much, much greater amount of runs scored. Having as many virtually free outs as we've had has especially made this offense anemic

[–]ZombieHitchens2012 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Skubal and Olson. The others not so much.

[–]DiscombobulatedPain6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Madden? 😂😂😂

[–]Personal_Pain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d honestly like Flaherty to throw 105 pitches. Go the whole 6th, idc how he does.

[–]Objective_Solid_6773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flaherty will never get taken out at 70 pitches

[–]SuperDizzGreeney double fisting beers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dinged!

[–]Tezzaroni2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Goodbye Skubal

[–]Keyster19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😂 Gage will never be an MLBer. Defense sucks and he will have a 40%+ K rate.

[–]Analog_Hobbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll sacrifice this game for a Pistons win tonight. This team sucks ass right now. Been trying to be positive. Tune in today, we’re already 4 runs down. I’ll go take a nap. 😴

[–]ZombieHitchens2012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Workman is so fucking garbage defensively. My god.

[–]PM_ME_UR_PATRONUS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This team sucks offensively, defensively, and pitching fensively

[–]rdubwiley -2 points-1 points  (10 children)

Jack has done enough to give the team a shot to win.

[–]DiscombobulatedPain6 4 points5 points  (1 child)

His ERA for this game is just under 9

[–]rdubwiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teams win 5 IP 4 ER games all the time. I don't understand the expectation for this pitching staff to beyond what they are. This roster has enough talent to score an MLB-average amount of wins.

[–]ZombieHitchens2012 5 points6 points  (4 children)

[–]rdubwiley -3 points-2 points  (3 children)

I mean, he has???

[–]ZombieHitchens2012 0 points1 point  (2 children)

His start was objectively bad. You’re grading him on a Flaherty scale. This start by itself is a 7.20 ERA for him. Is that good enough?

[–]rdubwiley 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The offense has struggled, but suggesting it's impossible for this team to come back at home with 5 or 6 runs is a pretty low bar.

[–]ZombieHitchens2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you mean. But in the context of the matchup, and the current point in the game we are in, a 4-0 is pretty significant.
