He's getting the high pitches about 4% less this year and also cutting down his swing rate on them by 7%. So there is some real change on his approach. He's whiffing on high strikes, but not any chest or face high fastballs. I think I said last year that Danny has a chance to stick as a starter if he ever learns how to hit high fastballs. It looks like he's learned to lay off them, which is better than what he was doing before.

That looked like it hit the line.

AV is so slow

If he keeps hitting, there's no way you can't give him the job. He's been pretty fortunate on his BIP so far, but it does look like he's made an adjustment in his stance that might be helping him this year.

You served that one up real good.

The upside down is stuck in 1983, much like Tony.

Nice job by Mendick.

I don't think the manager matters for that. Yoan isn't getting sent down to AAA while he's making $13 million.

McGuire should probably be on 3rd base.

The Tigers might be ass, but they've also had some of the worst injury luck imaginable. Hinch also vastly overperformed the talent of the team last year despite a horrible start.

Lynn missing location a lot this inning. I think he's at the end of the rope here.

This team just can't catch a break.

He has a great 3 year track record. I'm sure that'll matter more to teams than a few bad starts after getting COVID.

That makes a lot of sense. I bet he wasn't happy he gave up the first ML hit to a guy who was 0-17.

If you can get Bobby MIller for Giolito you absolutely do it.

If he develops that slurve that they teach their guys...watch out. They basically revived Andrew Heaney before his elbow got hurt.

OPS is nearing .700.

Things are about to reach the boiling point with this team.

I think Lynn was pissed about the positioning against Barnhardt.

Lynn pissed off at McEwing for something.

I'm gonna need to donate my Moncada jersey to Goodwill soon.

Leury gets robbed

Yoan really on his way to hitting .100. It's actually impressive.

It's a feedback loop of bad decisions.

Hard for a fat guy to lose weight when you can't run.
