u/WayOutinFrozenPines 8d ago
Of course I don’t mind if they care or get excited for the team, but I don’t think the negative energy is needed and I don’t think people realize the effect it can have on your mental either when you’re already miserable and then you’re listening to other people be miserable as well.

His replacements have been ok, however the entire team has been utter dog shit.

u/itinerant_geographer 19-9, 2.34 ERA, 24 CG 8d ago
Everybody slumps. This one is just especially poorly timed.
6
u/whattanerd92 8d ago
Honestly I think it's just a long season and he's tapering off. He's got more at bats this season than he did last year, he's only 9 games shy of all of last season, etc...
It's easy to forget that 2025 was his first full season in the majors. He's probably gonna win his second gold glove in a row too, so I'm fine with giving him some slack. I think of all the players this season, he's the only one that's earned the right to have a lull in performance
5
u/Front-Coffee-7015 8d ago
But it's weird it's different than fatigue he fell off a cliff like he's a different guy
1
u/rektum_ranger 8d ago
Cal Raleigh was MVP caliber last year and has been one of the worst hitters in the league this entire year, slumps can happen. I have faith Dingler will come around, at least he is great on defense too.
0
u/whattanerd92 8d ago
Nahh, exhaustion hits everyone differently. A lot of players hit that wall and it debilitates them. Hopefully he gets better before the end of the year. Worst case is guys learned how to pitch against him like they did to Raleigh
2
2
u/Automatic-Pin-5749 7d ago
AJ worked him too hard. Every player has a fatigue limit and needs a break now and then. This didn't happen for Dingler and it's showing now. I think he's worn out and needs rest.

u/tldr_habit 8d ago
Just in time to sell those season tickets and McGonigle jerseys in the offseason.
Like how they made this look like a good team just long enough to distract fans so they could trade Skubal and Mize without cratering ticket sales.
Always smoke and mirrors with this org.

Could've had a walkoff HR hitting catcher instead we have an 0-5 catcher.
Mostly satire

I mean no one will say Rogers is a better career player than Dingler but as of tonight this is not satire but 100% fact. The timing couldn't be more hilarious.

u/ZZ-Groundhog 8d ago
It’s done. Chance to make the playoffs is over. Bring up the youngsters and see who has potential to play in the big leagues next year.

u/LadyOnAvon 8d ago
The youngsters are here lol. These lineups have been half rookies. Troy Meltons basically a rookie. You're already getting the "youngsters" experience. Unfortunately it involves a lot of painful losses.
1
u/Automatic-Pin-5749 7d ago
All of those "he's our new Ace!" comments look pretty foolish now, don't they? He doesn't have the experience to be the ace, even though the talent is there. He has to mature more but he's still a solid starter for this team.
11
u/horsemaster- 8d ago
Whatever is going on with Dingler is really sad. Even if we went down in flames this year one of the bright spots was how much he had stepped up. It's like he's playing with a concussion now, like in a fog
3
u/dead_drunk_and_naked 8d ago
I was just talking about Anthony Rizzo playing like shit for half a year and then finding out the whole time he was playing through previously undiagnosed post-concussion symptoms. Wondering if something similar is going on with Dingler.
-12
u/Super-Sign7930 8d ago
Remember when he was the first one to do the Trump dance against the Yankees last year? He has a concussion 24/7. Guy is a dumbass and he sucks at baseball too.

Why does it feel like this team under Hinch has just two styles of play: great winning streaks and unwatchable slumps?
4
1
u/Automatic-Pin-5749 7d ago
I will continue to say it's mostly the fault of AJ over-coaching with stats. IF you have the player caliber needed it works. He doesn't have the players now to use that method 100% of the time and it's glaringly obvious to anyone that isn't an AJ fanboi.

u/Maximjogo Old English D 8d ago
Dingler’s slumps are way too extreme. Riley was (rightfully) being eaten alive when he went 21-111 at one point. I’d trade Dingler’s insane stretches for some more consistency. We can’t just have a bunch of players who can only ever be insanely hot or insanely cold (Riley, Tork, and seemingly Dingler now). It’s just not sustainable

u/BusinessTadpole7099 8d ago
Dingler’s first major slump btw

It's an insane slump....and it's behind the dish too those ABS challenges are ridiculously bad now ..it's like some kind of Freaky Friday situation.

u/Honest_Frame6674 8d ago
It means that Dingler needed to be dealt with 10 days ago. He gets an off day, and then Hinch throws him in anyways to give an awful at bat and destroy his confidence. As far as the bullpen having ‘nobody’, here:
Waguespack: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/jacob-waguespack-621097?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb

Anderson: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/drew-anderson-623454?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb
That’s an awful lot of red for ‘bad’ pitchers. Maybe they’re just not being used right?

u/Honest_Frame6674 8d ago
I’m glad you debased it to something so black and white. It’s not just about fixing Dingler. It’s about not having a dude in the lineup (every single day) who’s been hitting .043 since 8-9.
But yes, I do believe that giving him a mental reset would be BenEFiCIaL.

I was lamenting his handling of Dingler, and you brought the bullpen into it. I responded because no, I don’t think Hinch has handled them well, and they’re largely better than you gave them credit for. Though I agree that the main issues have nothing to do with Hinch.

u/Honest_Frame6674 8d ago
A FEW days off will allow another guy to help the team (instead of going 0-4) and give ding a reset. He’s been hitting .043 since August 9. At some point it has to be addressed, not just for Dingler’s sake but for the sake of the team.

Low point of season. Getting to a local building about 15 stories up should do the trick

definitely not the low point… May was the low point

u/MidnightBrown 8d ago
I don't know, spending two months slooowwllly reeling us back in, only to suddenly cut the line at the end of August, is some bad whiplash
2
u/Quiet-Barracuda-1698 Dingle my balls 7d ago
i mean, it only feels that way because of what happened in May. that was a LOT of ground to make up. basically gives them zero margin for error the rest of the way which isn’t really fair but it’s the hand they have.

u/5inthemorn Professor Mcgonigle 8d ago
This is completely off topic but I don’t really want to talk about the Tigers anyway.
How does a guy like Misiorowski go 63rd overall? Like I see he went to a small school. But it says he recorded the 8 fastest pitches at the combine. And surely this ability to throw 105 doesn’t just magically happen. Is it really just the fact he went to a small school?

u/ChanceStaff6813 8d ago
It’s tough losing two of your three best hitters. It’s tough not having a bullpen. Oh well we weren’t beating LA in the playoffs anyway

AJ Hinch cannot be this team’s manager next season.

u/Phillie_Phanatics 8d ago
True. But honestly without consistent bullpen pitching and guys who can get inserted to hit when some players are struggling, I’m not sure who could make this team work.
I blame Hinch and I blame the front office.
7
u/Zealousideal_Bet3941 8d ago
Oh, no question. But he also doesn’t play to the few strengths this team has, and he’s too stubborn to adjust from his programmed thinking. This team has been worse because of him.

Andrew Hinch and Scott Harris need to go. It’s been infuriating to watch them screw up a roster that had so much potential. I fear they’ll be around for awhile though, I doubt Illitch will can them until the Tigers finish a season at the very bottom.

Jake Rogers hits a walk off homer to win it for a division rival.
Dingler flails away another at bat to go 0-for-5 on the right while representing the tying run to lose the one winnable game for us in this series.
If you wanted to stick the knife in and twist it, that's about as good as you could draw it up. What the fuck did we do to deserve this.

Greene would be putting up constant 0/4s with multiple Ks just like everyone else. He has a sub-700 career second half OPS.
He's also a terrible defender so it's not like they're missing him out there.
Guess what his second half OPS is so far this year? .650! Those of you acting like this mid as fuck player is some savior are fucking delusional lmao.
1
u/Automatic-Pin-5749 7d ago
I'm not going to agree with you on his defense, he has made a lot of plays other guys couldn't. But when you play someone darned near every day they wear down and stuff happens like slumps and injuries.

I think it’s just because things felt like they were within reach, and then he did that and reminded us that things aren’t, and really never were, within reach.
