With all the talk about firing Avila over how the season has gone so far, my question is why does our hitting coach still have a job? How many batters do we have that are at or below the Mendoza line? We figured out our relief pitching and our offense now takes a 💩💩💩
This is also not the first time. The Tigers don't know how to hire good hitting coaches.
A glimmer of hope that I see is Miggy saying he wants to stay with this team as a coach once he retires. He sounds like a perfect hitting coach candidate. AJ has already said he’d be happy to have him on board

No glimmer of hope. This team is trash. The last time I have seen so many caught looking strikeouts was in high school baseball. After we got struck out 14 times in a 7 inning game, coach said the team is running 5 laps for every caught looking strikeout. Get the fucking bat off your shoulder!

Javy Baez is a joke too. Two booted balls. Cut his ass.

What I find incredible is that both Robbie Grossman and Austin Meadows have yet to hit a homer this season! :shock: Neither has Tucker Barnhart.

Tucker never hits a ton of homers, but the Grossman and Meadows' lack of production is disturbing. How does this hitting coach have a job?

They got 14 runs this game! That’s as many as the previous NINE games combined. I think they should try wearing those Stars jerseys again and see if they found a lucky outfit.

I was thinking the same thing! :lol However, if they come out today and lay another goose egg, as has been their habit after a sudden offensive outburst.... :rolleyes

All I'm hearing is how the long anticipated arrival of Riley Greene will suddenly turn around their fortunes. That's quite a burden to lay on a rookie.

Agreed, and it's because the baseball writers in this town are mostly morons.

Chris Ilitch seems to have gone into hiding; I'd be curious to know if he still believes the rebuild is complete.

Well, Moldyoldie sure lit a fire under Grossman. Two home runs in 2 days! Maybe it’s Riley Greene. Whatever they are doing, keep it up!

Maybe we can look back at this year as the time when they worked a lot of young players into the everyday lineup to go along with the young pitchers they've been bringing up the last couple of years. That's the most optimistic attitude I can take with this team.

I prefer not to speculate on the future, but I like your approach to this season's debacle. We can always hope, plus there's a whole more-than-half a season to go yet this year. :smokin

Hmm, maybe they were right about this guy! :smokin :D This looks like the team I thought I'd be watching this year...finally!
