Haniger gets Servais off the hook. Twitter was getting on Servais when he used Yimi Garcia in a 2 run game a day after not using "leverage arms" in a 1 run game. He is so full of shit.
I'd still keep him on the hot seat, just to make damn sure he finds a way to motivate the bats ALL GAME LONG. You don't just save your energy for the last inning like race horses do down the final stretch. They need to play smart throughout the whole game here.

Glad they won it, though, but it's a shock we'll be feeling for a while...until the Mets start scoring on us.

The Angels?

To me as bad as it was I feel sometimes when you play a divisional opponent that is very familiar with you and has a general idea of how to play you I can somewhat understand how losses can happen.

Wow, honestly one of the worst defensive plays I have ever seen at any level of baseball. Congrats to the M’s but that RF must have bet on the game.
Yeah if the guy got in front of it instead of trying to catch it the Mariners probably don't score as many runs.
If Tigers fans have a thread about ones that got away in 2024 (like we do) this game is on the list.

Divish explained it as they have it scripted before the game on how to handle to staff and they don’t deviate. So my question is, what is the point of having a manager cause he is suppose to make the final decision.

Exactly. That is managing. Managing comes from the gut and you don't know your gut until the situation happens. It is like in the NFL when certain coaches script the first 20 plays of the game. I have never understood that. How do you know what the defense is running the day before? I don't see those things as game managing. I have watched Servais enough know he doesn't manage by feel. I didn't know about scripting, but it makes sense now. That is lazy.

I get scripting the first drive or so in football. I’d disagree but could listen to scripting the pitching staff innings at the beginning of the year. But they are in a playoff race. Every game is a defacto playoff game right now. Saving arms for the playoffs is pointless if they don’t make the playoffs.

It’s almost as if Scott already resigned and they haven’t announced it.

If you are a Hawks fan, you know 20 plays is the first 4 drives...lol.

I think it is lazy managing no matter the sport. If you are the Chiefs and know you can't be stopped, script whatever you want. Normal teams need to see what is up against them. In baseball it is just stupid. I get the innings management in todays wussy baseball, but the rest. I am guessing that means Dipoto is part of those meanings then.
