Right, new idea. Send every player down to AAA for at east two weeks. Come back revitalized.
Hinch getting Dingler a couple of late inning rest.
Lange warming up in the pen.
Flaherty…MVP…MVP…
This may be the first time Melton came in late inning vs being a bulk reliever.
Yes, up at this level, I think you are correct.
Troy Melton, a Detroit Tigers prospect, has primarily been a starter in his professional career, making 63 of his 66 appearances as a starter. However, he has made a few relief appearances, most recently in Triple-A Toledo and in Spring Breakout games. In these outings, he has shown he can transition to the bullpen effectively, despite preferring the routine of starting."
“Relief Appearances:
June 2023: 4 innings in High-A West Michigan.
June 2025: 4 1/3 innings in Triple-A Toledo.
July 2025: 4 innings in Triple-A Toledo.
Spring Breakout Games: Brief relief appearances in 2024 (vs. Phillies prospects) and 2025 (vs. Braves prospects).”
Is AJ Hinch a pitching savant? (LOL…I stole that from the football side)
Even at the lower levels I would guess it was early on, perhaps following a pitcher in the minors for a rehab assignment based on the metrics you’re showing.
He’s a managing savant
Fetter is a pitching savant.
Lang sucks. Send him back to the IR
OH BOY… Lange is back. A bit rough around the edges.
He’s gonna have to knock some rust off.
perfect situation for Lange, just pitch you have a 10 run lead don’t worry about giving up a few runs, just get rid of some rust
W.

What a great win against another playoff team.


Out of inning. Well done Lange. Preserves the shut out. This is the best all around game the Tigers have played in one hell of a long time.
So, I’m behind but I’m guessing that Montero didn’t come into the game and Lange actually finished it…based on @bols post
