Under what circumstance do you throw a 95 MPH fastball down the middle on 0-2?

Maybe Hudson, but I would save Taylor.

We will need all the lefties we can get this series. IF we can hold it with someone else besides Taylor or Hudson that would be ideal

When you’re in the crappy Tigers bullpen. I think we’re seeing why they had a big positive run differential and a losing record.

Tough play but a gold glover, as his stans like to call him, woulda had that pop up.

Good news is Roch is one of the best infielders I’ve ever seen at tracking pop ups

you need Smith Kay Fedde Newcomb Hicks to protect Castillo on WED

then going into Detroit start Thurs

damn it Tigers

(will go down a bit after tonight)

When you’re out of the race and don’t care.

Historically bad bullpen.

Castillo won’t get meaningful innings rest of the way

Castillo isn't pitching Wednesday. It will be Martin and Kay

God I hope not. Bove should lose his job for how badly they fucked him up.

Steal 3rd now and join the 20/20 club

Vargas will get 30 30 at this rate

He was bad to start with

Ok Connor McKnight is a really good guy but ypu have to be out of your mind if you think he's better PBP then Schriff.

Connor has acted like a 300 foot foul ball was gone.

Didn't know it was ball 4 on Miggy when he thought miggy got hit.

I have other examples....

BTW where is Schriff??

Not this bad

C’mon Beni, put this game out of reach.

I wanna see Acuña closing out the 9th with a 14 run lead.

When you tinker with someone and they lose 3 MPH on their fastball with no added benefits, you fucked up.

He’s not good, was late reacting to obvious Vargas homer as well

They are gonna open for Kay. Probably Newcomb.

This is pure anecdata but I feel like Mune is chasing slow stuff beneath the zone more during this nasty run he's on. I don't know if it's actually true but just watching, it feels like that's been the biggest difference. He's always been very efficient at forcing pitchers to come at him 3x per AB and he needs to have all 3 tries available to him.

You should never have to tinker with a guy who’s pitched as long as Castillo has.
