Tigers @ Mariners: Aug 4-6

Guys cooked. Getting released now meant not a single team was willing to give up a bag of chips for either of them.

But….

Is stretching out Anderson to the rotation actually addressing the pen by removing him from Hinch’s ability to put him in to futz leverage situations?

I would love a knuckleballer in the bp. How frustrating would it be to get all timed up on the 94+ mph fastball from the starter to have to try and hit loopy bloops that dance all over.

Wow, that’s pretty amazing.

In this day of ‘quality starts’ and five, six, 7 inning games from starters, I’m surprised that you don’t see “team wins” in alot of conversations, rather than “wins”. I guess Melton has been pretty lucky that the BP has not been blowing games that he starts.

Not sure , but remember with knuckleballers,
age isn’t as important.

Yes….Joe and Phil. Was Guidry a knuckleballer?? I can’t quite remember if he was because I didn’t see a lot of him

I sure wouldn’t bet on the Dodgers at their current betting odds. I don’t believe anyone deserves a 42% chance.

Their pitching staff will be amazing but if you really look at their lineup they have more problems than people realize.

Sparky Anderson used to say to look at the loss column in the standings. Well there are six teams within one loss difference for the wild card. A win tonight puts them half game back in this logjam.
