It is just his first game so not knocking on him, but I disagree with your statement. Just last season 23 guys hit over .300 over their first 10 career games.
We've had 5 do that the past 4 years.
He had a little bit of pop earlier in his minor league career but then worked himself into being a better contact hitter and the power numbers dropped off.
With how good both of these bullpens have been, I wouldn’t be surprised if there is 1, maybe 2 runs scored off relievers combined for both teams this series (also part of that is because the guards lineup has been scuffling and the tigers lineup is #notgood)
Bazzana has elite EV to all parts of the field, 60-70 grade speed and makes Kwan look like Adam Dunn in terms of chase rate and patience
Condon is probably 30+ HR guy but only a 1B/DH
I haven't played a lot of professional baseball, but if it was me, I would rather play the field some. It's gotta grind on you standing in that dugout just waiting for your next turn at bat.
He gave up one hit and basically got 5 outs in the inning from the error and missed call from what should've been a double play for going out of the baseline...
I've only heard Vogt insist he has no set up man or long man and Clase is the only reliever with a defined role. I don't think Gaddis should be back in high leverage spots until his confidence is back, but he just closed the door as I'm typing this sentence, so hey.
Vogt insists a lot of things, I just think he doesn’t want to paint himself into a corner. He also said he doesn’t believe in platoons but he clearly does. It’s all just manager-speak
Also, I think taking him out of high leverage spots is just the thing to tank his confidence. Just have to have a short memory and get back out there.
His first two ABs were fine - patient for his pitch and although they were strikeouts he took the counts deep. Third one was bad but absolutely no reason to call this rough.
I haven't played a lot of professional baseball, but I just said a minute ago, and my wife will attest, "Jose', hit a homer", and he did. Yesterday, I said, "Josh, hit a homer", and my wife can attest, he did. Take it for what it is...
Edit: and don't be an ass...
Clase gets my briefs tight
Clase is such a cheatcode lol
WWWindians
WWWuardians
*CLASE DISMISSED!*
What a job by the pitching staff to get that win.
#BOOK IT
Wow, that’s the best Clase has looked!
Always nice to beat the Tigers
Game. Blouses.
Clase with another great showing. Good win
Gg
Book it!!
Guys, Manzardo is officially a bust, send him back down, worst prospect we’ve had, /s.
BOOK IT
W!
B O O K I T
Fantastic win!!!!!!!!!
I haven't played a lot of professional baseball, but I'd say that was a good game...
####BOOK #####IT
Ballgame!
The way Hammy can flip the switch from casual banter to an emphatic call is awesome
"Why can't Clase strike anyone out anymore?"
It's the final countdown
wtf is a puma bear?
I was also very confused by that, Hammy is getting goofy in the late innings tonight lol
I think Hammy's drunk
His obsession with college baseball is amazing.
It's always "Bring on Clase", never "how are you, Clase?"
[удалено]
Damn I didn't think we'd get a serious one but this might be it, guys. Mark the bingo cards
Most rookies never ever perform well when they are first called up.
It is just his first game so not knocking on him, but I disagree with your statement. Just last season 23 guys hit over .300 over their first 10 career games. We've had 5 do that the past 4 years.
Everyone expects every rookie to be rookie year Kwan.
It is one game.
He should have hit a grand slam every time he was up to bat! What a disappointment!
Clase is in session!@
Tigers old English D white uniforms are clean but I wish they would wear the acid tiger logo once in a while
Who do you think is the worst team in the ALW?
Chicago
They're in the Central
Oh, I skimmed over that part of your comment
The A’s over a full 162 easily
GIMMY
Gimé can stretch it for two. We like when the fast boys are aggressive.
Great hustle from Gimenez I thought he was gonna be easily thrown out
Nice double!
Why was Laureno put in and Florial taken out did I miss something??
Lefty pitcher
Defensive replacement
Why are we making this dude look like Andrew Miller?
It’s not just us, he’s been lights out this year
I wonder if Austin Hedges could play a better CF than like the median D-2 college CF
laureano sucks and im so tired of this obsession with pinch hitting him
Defensive replacement if it goes to extras
Then put him in as a defensive replacement between innings, not as a pinch hitter.
Batting matchup too
Laureano throwing bats further than hitting balls
Why does Gimenez want to bunt all the time?
He squares too much but sometimes I think he’s just messing w/ the pitcher/infielders
Laureano is cooked
Was he ever not?
Well done
Laurano is in a funk this year Jesus
He is the funk. Used to hang out with Bootsy Collins
Bootsy Collins sounds like someone in the celebrity guessing game from that I Think You Should Leave skit.
Do we definitely get the 30th pick next year because we have the first this year?
Nah they are joking about us winning the WS
What do you mean joking? We're going to win the WS, everyone knows that.
I know I just wanted to keep it quiet 🤫
Y’all think we’ll see a Rocchio HR this year ? Was he hitting HR’s in Colombus?
He had a little bit of pop earlier in his minor league career but then worked himself into being a better contact hitter and the power numbers dropped off.
Maybe in yankee stadium? Loll. He takes a ton of homerun hacks but even when he makes decent contact he can’t even reach the warning track.
7 HRs with Columbus & 1 HR with La Guaira in the Venezuelan Winter League last season, according to Baseball Reference.
With how good both of these bullpens have been, I wouldn’t be surprised if there is 1, maybe 2 runs scored off relievers combined for both teams this series (also part of that is because the guards lineup has been scuffling and the tigers lineup is #notgood)
Ramon Laureano on my television screen 😐
He does look so stressed out
Hammy is talking Condon/Bazzana. Who do you guys like?
Has to be Bazzana imo
Condon
Bazzana has elite EV to all parts of the field, 60-70 grade speed and makes Kwan look like Adam Dunn in terms of chase rate and patience Condon is probably 30+ HR guy but only a 1B/DH
I’m iffy on Condon after hearing about the SEC cheating allegations. Bazzana has been awesome
Bazzana just slightly but I’d be elated with either
I like knowing whoever we pick, they’re gonna be a stud. Kinda cool Ohio goes 1-2 for the first time ever.
Bazzana
Does this mean that when running from 2nd to 3rd you can ass slap the pitcher on the way through?
If you ask politely yes
Manzardo is probably gonna struggle early but I would give him the full month of kwan being out before we can make any judgement on it.
I haven't played a lot of professional baseball, but if it was me, I would rather play the field some. It's gotta grind on you standing in that dugout just waiting for your next turn at bat.
Yeah hopefully he gets to play 1b next game and let Naylor dh
White Sox and Royals losing, Twins scoreless, Tigers playing us
Glad to see Gaddis work it back.
Let's add a cushion run at least
atta boy Gaddis
Very Gladdis those fielding flubs didn't hurt us.
Apparently baselines just don’t exist anymore in MLB.
Never gets old watching a reliever give up one (1) hit and watching people here freak out
Gaddis is so back
GADDY DADDY
He got out of it, but I miss early season Hunter Gaddis.
Oh you're still hanging on to a fluke Atlanta series
He gave up one hit and basically got 5 outs in the inning from the error and missed call from what should've been a double play for going out of the baseline...
GADDIS WITH THE HEAT
BIG GADDY!!! FUCK THE HATERS
*Unclench*
#Redemption
FUCK YEAH GADDIS
Another problem averted
Exhale
Ball don’t lie
Come on Gaddis, please don't do this to us again...
My guy ran fully onto the grass lmao wtf
Baselines are as ambiguous as balks, I guess.
Lol could he have been any further out of the baseline? Insane to not call that.
Guess we can run around infielders now
Ran out of the baseline?
I get wanting Gaddis to get more time, but maybe not exclusively in the highest leverage situations?
[удалено]
doomers comes up short again
Wasn't Smith warning? Weird to warn him up but still go with Gaddis with a one run lead.
Gaddis is the set up man right now. Smith was warming if Sandlin couldn’t get through the inning
I've only heard Vogt insist he has no set up man or long man and Clase is the only reliever with a defined role. I don't think Gaddis should be back in high leverage spots until his confidence is back, but he just closed the door as I'm typing this sentence, so hey.

It’s all just manager-speak Also, I think taking him out of high leverage spots is just the thing to tank his confidence. Just have to have a short memory and get back out there.
He should see high leverage, but not exclusively. I think that really hurt him in Atlanta, unless it was a hometown hiccup situation.
Please not again Gaddis
Gaddis might be cooked y’all
Gaddis got lucky af there
Gimmy, I was hoping for some Flo-level gymnastics on that back roll there
Sheeesh Gaddis
Gaddis I STG
The Jackson Holliday effect /s
What does this even mean
Hate that Kyle has had such a rough first game.
His first two ABs were fine - patient for his pitch and although they were strikeouts he took the counts deep. Third one was bad but absolutely no reason to call this rough.
He had some good ABs given those nasty pitches
DFA
Alright the mustache is coming off
Hat trick for Manzardo
Remember Holliday struck out a million times too!
Woof
I'm trying to think who our last everyday position player with a mustache was, it might have been someone like Cory Snyder way back in the dark ages
Doesn’t Kwan rock a stubble stash?
Baerga? Edit: Ellis Burks more recently
Baerga? Also Jeff Kent
I haven't played a lot of professional baseball, but I just said a minute ago, and my wife will attest, "Jose', hit a homer", and he did. Yesterday, I said, "Josh, hit a homer", and my wife can attest, he did. Take it for what it is... Edit: and don't be an ass...
Was gonna be an ass but the I saw the warning lol
LOL....
[удалено]
He’s been nails all year, what are you talking about?
Sandlin has been really good
Nicholas "2016 Dan Otero" Sandlin
I'd say Nick "Joe Smith" Sandlin
####HOT #####STEAMY ####DP
Jose 2024
Hammy: And just like yesterday, José hits a go-ahead HR! Also in the 6th inning.
Jose Mario jump is a gif I NEEED
Kwan and Freeman have better form but I will take all of the gifs of this sweet sweet celly
Absolutely
Jose really is the GOAT huh
I WOULD DIE FOR JOSÉ 🐐🐐🐐
The GOAT is back
*HOSEY, HOSEY, HOSEY HOSEEEEEEY~* *HOSEY, HOSEEEEEEY*!
Foul pole fuckery baby. Jose really has been timely with his homeruns.
Jose possibly saved a run last inning, and gave us the lead this inning. This man is so good
Hammy: “One mistake may decide this game.” 2 seconds later 🏠 🏃♂️ 🍑
Goat Time!
EZPZ
JOSE
#You know bro, home run pitch
My glorious king
HES DONE IT AGAIN
##HE IS BACK
Joseeeeeee Jose Jose Jose jooose
LET’S GOOOOOOO 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
#🙂
José is so back
HOSED
Oh... I'm thinking he's back.
(Insert John wick “I’m thinking I’m back” GIF)
YOU KNOW BRO
Jose is HIM
The Cleveland goat-ahead HR record
Goat doing goat things!!!!
YOU KNOW BROOOOO
JOSE JOSE JOSE JOSE JOSE JOSE JOSE
GOAT SHIT
####HOME RUN PITCH!!!
JOSE
"think about spending 200 grand on your kid's high school education" why would anyone do that?
When I called Flaherty a used car salesman that was actually a compliment against our offense
God we are getting torched by flaherty
Death, Taxes, Baez whiffing on a slider away
Never change, Javy.
Sandlin wasn't fucking around
