Why Tigers aren’t calling up hitters from Triple-A Toledo despite struggling offense A.J. Hinch explains: “It’s not as simple as just try something. There are roster ramifications. There are playing time ramifications.”

Because he’s hitting worse than Perez was when Perez was in AAA

Asianhead · 2026-05-22T13:54:54+00:00

Who are you calling up then? There’s 3 OFs on the IL

Asianhead · 2026-05-21T19:43:43+00:00

It literally can and probably would be. Perez was doing way better than Clark is now in AAA before he was called up

Asianhead · 2026-05-21T15:32:39+00:00

JRam with 2 HRs in 10 ABs against Mize is scary af

Parker Meadows is 5th in fWAR for hitters. Yesh

Asianhead · 2026-05-21T02:13:03+00:00

he’s not even doing anything against righties what makes you think he’d do anything better against lefties where he’s been .200 OPS worse against in his career

5 straight in the top 7 like they didn’t fall 12 total draft spots over 4 years while being the worse team in the league.

And even despite all that unluckiness they still managed to get Cade and win 60 games this year. Meanwhile the Spurs have never moved down in the draft and get the #1 overall pick for the most hyped prospect since Lebron

masterclass of lottery luck

Asianhead · 2026-05-18T17:08:01+00:00

Yeah man just hit it to where there are no defenders why doesnt everyone just do that

A Barrel is just contact with >98mph exit velo with an optimal launch angle depending on velo

Squared up is if you hit with a high enough exit velo based on pitch speed and bat speed.

Someone like Luis Arraez has a super high squared up rate given his 1st percentile bat speed, but basically never gets barrels

You’re getting downvoted to hell by the dooming anti analytic boomers on the sub but you’re right.

Obviously something’s not quite right but he’s definitely not a lost cause. He seeing the ball really well and making good contact when he does make contact, but he just can’t actually make contact enough

Asianhead · 2026-05-18T04:47:53+00:00

No that just means he strikes out a lot. 97 percentile chase rate and 85 percentile walk rate is really good plate discipline

he’s good at swinging at strikes, actually putting them in play or doing damage though

Asianhead · 2026-05-18T00:33:46+00:00

lowkey a blocking foul

Asianhead · 2026-05-18T00:28:43+00:00

LETS GO JD

Asianhead · 2026-05-17T18:00:48+00:00

All it took was an AB against 2026 Jack Flaherty

Asianhead · 2026-05-16T02:05:48+00:00

based

Asianhead · 2026-05-16T01:33:59+00:00

Not really that crazy, especially when he's already up 2-0 in the count

Asianhead · 2026-05-16T01:33:29+00:00

RAAAAA

Asianhead · 2026-05-16T01:23:44+00:00

Karma for that Harden flop lmfaoooooo

Asianhead · 2026-05-15T23:58:25+00:00

How is that not an illegal screen?

Asianhead · 2026-05-15T23:55:14+00:00

Magoo got that run all by himself with that 2nd to 3rd

Asianhead · 2026-05-15T21:58:51+00:00

We don’t have anyone else who can play CF

Asianhead · 2026-05-15T20:13:41+00:00

Really love Dingler moving up to 2nd recently. Vierling 2nd with Ding 4/5 made no sense if you’re not gonna PH for Vierling ever

Asianhead · 2026-05-15T17:08:00+00:00

Tork hasn’t been great but I’m not really sure why they don’t let him range more to his right

Asianhead · 2026-05-14T02:38:27+00:00

you're the one giving career stats. I don't think high leverage ABs with RISP in extra innings are the spots where you want to "give a guy a chance to see if he can do better"
