Kind of amusing because I'll bet one of the more common discussions next off season is if Julien follows the Miranda path. That of being a little known infield prospect, raking in the high minors, fee

The Tigers may have shown enough life not to sell at this point.

Seeming more and more likely that Stewart was a flash in the pan who had a short good run like a lot of relievers do. Oh well. At least Alcala and Sands have stepped up this year.

Personally on the Stewart front, the eye test doesn't seem to be the same guy since returning from the shoulder. Prior to the shoulder injury he was 96-99 with incredible movement, usually sitting 97-98. Since his return I don't think I've seen him top 95, and with 95 location matters more.

Lacking video, I presume that Stewart is dealing with rust but that Okert may be slipping beyond recovery for October. Clarification is welcome from those with eyes.

Stewart throwing only mid 90s with little to no command.

He's showing nothing like last year. 

I haven't liked Okert all season, so nothing new there. If he wasn't left handed, he wouldn't be in the big leagues

I'm gonna give him some grace because he's had 4 outings (maybe 5) - 2 at the MLB level - since May.  The stuff is there but the command isn't yet.

I propose a new reliever ERA stat. You get credited for 0.25 of an earned run for letting an inherited runner score from 3rd, 0.5 from 2nd, 0.75 from 1st, and a full run as normal. Okert would lead the league.

Make Skubal work a bit here in the 6th and we might be able to get into the grease-fire bullpen in the 7th.

Which teams BP is the 7th inning grease-fire again...

Baseball certainly can use more stats (wink).   I like the idea of an inherited runner scoring era stat, but the number of outs when the reliever enters the game should probably be part of the equation.

It's gonna be Varland and Topa as our new toys..

Given Stewart's performance since returning, I'd give Topa the full 20 day rehab before he faces MLB batters.
