2020-09-01: Tigers (Fulmer) at Brewers (Lindblom) [Brewers lose, 12-1]

How many games into a season do you need to be before WAR becomes a viable stat?

[markedman5]

Hiura excelled in the minors at every stop and was very good last season at the major league level.....Ray has no such history to look back on. His best minor league season was 800 ops......last season 654.

 

 

Doesn’t matter, at this pace Hiura will strike out 213 times over his first 162 games. Thats Chris Carter, Mark Reynolds territory. For a guy who doesn’t play defense, if he continues to strike out that much he’ll be gone when he becomes arbitration eligible.

 

His defense has been ok since that one bad stretch......why don’t we let his career play out before we give up on him after a 880 ops rookie year?

 

As bad as he’s been he is still at 730 this season.......

Those who have video will have to let the rest of us know how Bickford looks. Wish I could see it.

[wildcat83]

Good lord, when they came back from commercial I thought Hader was throwing right handed.

He looks like Hader, throws a little like Yardley, and just destroyed Jones hand.

[folly412]

You don't always see much right when a guy gets hit, but that hand looked bad.

I thought for sure this post was clancy.

 

Hope he’s alright, he’s been absent or quiet lately.

[yourout]

That looks like a broken hand.

Even sounded bad.

[yfinn6]

Bickford hits a few more people and we should be in good shape tomorrow.

[Bulldogboy]

Well 2 batters two hit by pitch.

[wildcat83]

Well, they should have less players available tomorrow.

Not good

[Bulldogboy]

Ball to the screen. Whew. man this is rough

[markedman5]

Stage freight

[LouisEly]

throws a little like Yardley

Kind of a side-armer?

[markedman5]

I thought he was a mid 90s guy?

[wildcat83]

I was taught a glove tap was illegal mid motion. Once the ball comes out of your glove it can’t go back in. Bickford has a big glove tap.

[Bulldogboy]

I thought he threw harder?? Looking like basically 90mph

[wildcat83]

throws a little like Yardley

Kind of a side-armer?

 

Yep, not to the extent of Yardley but funky delivery. Having a hard time pitching inside to righties obviously....

[trwi7]

Bickford doesn’t look like a big league pitcher.

[LouisEly]

So close to getting out of it. Gameday has that pitch to Reyes well off the plate. Or was it closer than that?

[markedman5]

He used to......not sure if injuries robbed him of 5 mph or what but this isn’t impressive

[Bulldogboy]

September baseball fellas. Feel the excitement

[Bulldogboy]

Nope. Good two strike hitting. You never see our guys do that.

I looked up a scouting report and it has his fastball 89-92. So about what he’s throwing.
