I wouldn't say a lot. And the cliche I lean on at this time of year is that we'd barely notice so much of this if it was a random 10-12 gms in June/July and that's 100% true. It's just not terribly actionable for SO many guys

Any reason to hang on to Halvorsen if Mears is available?

Paul Sporer

No, I'd make the switch

Thoughts on Strider today?

Paul Sporer

Boxscore scouting only as I'm watching my Tigers, but looks good to me. 5 Ks in 6 IP, 13 swinging strikes, and allowed to throw 97 pitches. If you took the shot on Strider, I can't imagine being anything but ecstatic about this debut

why do the tigers refused to let kelly carpenter hit versus lefties to the point of pinch hitting ibanez for him and playing javy baez in center?

Paul Sporer

The .611 career OPS vL doesn't help his case. Now I think sometimes that is a self fulfilling prophecy w/young lefties as they are just given so few opportunities to improve vL but I just don't think the Tigers are gonna sacrifice the ABs of trying to let him figure it out when they have Ibanez there to handle lefties. Carp'll get the occasional start, but it's unlikely that they just turn him loose and start him every single game

I agree with you on the actionability, I just don't think it's still meaningless whether you're 1st-3rd range or 10th-12th. if you got the first 10% of questions wrong on a school test you'd need to be perfect "RoS" to get an A! but yeah you could still get the A

I don't think that test comparison really holds. You only need to get a hit 3 of 10 times to be considered a god in this game, so doing 2 of 10 for 10 games just doesn't matter to me

2:23

I'm sorry, I'm just never gonna be convinced to care a ton about 10-12 games when it comes to the bulk of my roster. And I know you granted the actionable part of it, but that's the whole point. So even if there is some meaning to it, if I'm not acting on it, why do I care that much, ya know?

Dear Paul I feel like I can call you Paul because you and me are so alike. I'd like to meet you one day, it would be great to have a catch. I know I can't throw as fast as you but I think you'd be impressed with my speed. I love your hair, you run fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more. I know you have no been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did. I hope you write back this time, and we can become good friends. I am sure our relationship would be a real homerun!

LOOOOOL, we gotta end the chat w/this!! Very well done

2:25

Thanks so much for coming out, y'all. Thought I'd have to cut it early, but was able to work around a couple things and actually go a bit longer than the planned hour. Back next week, take care!
