Harrison is fine as a utility player, not as a full time starter.

Unfortunately we've found the this team doesn't have utility players. 

Those designated utility play everyday because :

a) someone is always hurt from the projected 9 starters 

b) the manager is an old dumb fuck.

JC at only 65 pitches through 5. Why can't the rest of the starters be that efficient. 

Lucas was very efficient last night, yet folks wanted LaRussa to pull him before 100 pitches. 

Our starters need to go long in order to avoid hiding this leaky ass bullpen.  I have no problem if they start asking to get 105-110 from them.   It's the only way they have a chance.

Cueto doesn't have the stuff to strike a bunch of people out and has good movement on all his pitches so he can pitch to contact and not get hit hard. Cease and Kopech pretty much have to strike out over a guy per inning or they'll get hit hard and that's going to take more pitches.

Our offense just doesn't have that killer punch in them.    They'll snooze the rest of the way.  

 

This offense is something.  Tigers should have been thinking about position players pitching with Cueto rolling but nope offense shuts it down to save energy for playoffs

Would be par for the course to blow it. 

Starters have given up 1 run or less  in first 6 innings of each game.

Cueto is a prime example of why movement and location of pitches is way more important than speed. 

Still waiting for age to set in on Scherzer, Verlander.

Today it's throw the ball as hard as you can for 5 innings.  Hopefully you have guys in the pen that can throw as hard as you can.

BTW there is a college pitcher than can throw 105.

I heard there's plenty of young injured pitchers available for the draft.

Cueto somehow one of the best free agent signings of the Hahn era

That was the usual dumpster diving than worked. 

Meanwhile this 8 runs probably means being shutout tomorrow.  Sheets and Vaughn will be on the bench and Tony trying to insert Leury into the lineup twice.
