caulfield12 Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 More Sox ties with Camp Cora/Ozzie DETROIT -- The Tigers had just started a West Coast trip in Seattle in August, seven games under .500 after losing seven of nine on a homestand, when third-base coach Joey Cora talked with hitters about baserunning. How long it lasted depends on who you ask. “It was, like, five or 10 seconds,” Matt Vierling said. “Joey made a comment about it, got on us a little bit.” However long it lasted, it was fitting with Cora’s personality, and it resonated. “It was an intense meeting, to say the least,” Parker Meadows said, a sentiment that Justyn-Henry Malloy seconded. “In that particular meeting, it was just reminding guys about a couple different things,” manager A.J. Hinch said. “When you play in Seattle, it’s very similar to Comerica [Park], where it’s big, and if we get [outfielders] going side to side, we need to take extra bases. We were also facing one of the best pitching staffs in baseball, so we were trying to instill preparedness: We’ve got to take advantage of every 90 [feet] against this type of team.” From there, Vierling said, the Tigers took a few more chances. Those became highlights in pregame meetings, and the mentality spread. What began as a reminder is now a mindset, with players in the dugout going crazy whenever a teammate takes an extra base on a risky play. It has fueled the Tigers’ late-season charge into the American League Wild Card race, and it helped the Tigers win a game Thursday that they seemed headed for defeat to the Rays. mlb.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
