Ober is missing arm side wide because he's opening up his torso a little early. Same thing happens in tennis with a RH forehand. If you open up early, the ball peels off to the right, which is fine if you aim down the middle, but terrible if you're trying to drive the ball down the line. 

I suppose tennis is good for a pitcher if it teaches them to see why a ball curves one way or the other. Tennis players hit hundreds of times more balls than baseball players throw or field. Because of tennis I could hit baseballs off the bounce when I was running fielding drills. Same thing at the plate. It's not that hard to hit a ball off the bounce, if you recognize the spin like a tennis player. 

We should hire John McEnroe as our pitching coach! He could also go out and yell at the umpires!!!! :)

Have people shifted their mindset that the Tigers are better at baseball in 2021 than the Twins? Detroit’s had 2 above .500 months in a row. We’ve had 0.

Jeffers now batting .190.

The guy got his break and did nothing with it. He's 24 years old and now has plenty of MLB at bats. Frankly I'll take Rortvedt over Jeffers at this point. When both are hitting under the Mendoza Line, I'll take the guy who can at least play a little defense. At this point both look to have very short MLB careers in front of them.

Would be really good to see Nellie crush one too. Just an idea. Oh well, a walk is fine too.

I guess he doesn't like my ideas. Oh well.

Anyone else agree? I sure do.

 

Maybe he'll be a defensive replacement?

 

Yeah, i like watching Nick, but i can understand not putting him up against a bullpen game and asking him to adjust to a new pitcher every at bat.

It's not just this one game. Nick hasn't started a game this entire series, and didn't start one against KC either. He's getting like 1 start per week, max.
