  1. This is a very winnable series. I just don't think Seattle is this amazing team that all the "experts" claim. I am afraid Melton will get lit up in the first inning and the Tigers will be down 5-1 or something going into the 2nd inning and that will just kill the morale. Getting smartest man in the room vibes from Hinch yet again.
  2. I feel if Melton is starting, the Tigers are just giving up hoping to win game 1. Hoping he only goes an inning or two Funny, his postseason era is 108.00 and his whip is 12.00
  3. What sports writers or 3rd rate ESPN analysts say is really irrelevant. It comes down to pitching. Can Mize, Montero, and Flaherty get it done?
  4. The Yankees lineup yesterday had 8 guys with 20+ home runs and the 9th guy had 19.
  5. Thank goodness Greene wasn't in there hitting both times.
  6. As Michale Stipe would say, Everybody Hurter sometimes.
  7. I never get tired of seeing a marginal major league hitter pinch hitting for a guy with 36 hrs.
  8. So now you bring Hurter in? After the game is kind of out of reach. Why not bring him in to start the inning?
  9. As opposed to what? Bringing in a career minor league hitter and hoping he can somehow do something. The talent is the talent. If you lose, you lose with your best hitters up there.
  10. The dude who hit 36 hrs on the season. You can defend Hinch all you want, but any other manager in the league let's Greene hit.
  11. He's the smartest guy in the room. He has a big part in losing today's game.
  12. Maybe not overmanage the game and let the guys that are your core hitters hit and leave it to them? Managers don't win games but they lose them.
  13. Meat ball from a rookie. Great Probably should have left Greene in the game and pinch hit for Perez and/or Meadows. But only 1 manager can be the smartest man in the room.
  14. You didn't see it that time either. It was barely a foot and a half outside.
  15. I can see smartest man in the room pinch hitting Sweeney for Baez.
  16. Pinch hitting for Greene? He's really going overboard with not allowing lefty on lefty. It's like no left handed hitter can hit a left handed pitcher according to Hinch.
  17. Instead he's out and they have no chance to drive him in from 2nd base and they lost a run. It's a bad play with 2 outs regardless of what happens if it's a bang-bang play.
  18. Unmm...scoring is the same as being on 3rd still needing, most likely, a base hit to score? Any hit to the outfield should score a guy from 2nd with 2 outs almost everytime. Never make the final out at third.
  19. Trying to score and going to third are not even close to the same.
  20. Hinch has no confidence in Casey Mize.
  21. It was a horrible decision to go to third with 2 outs if it's even going to be close. Give the next guy a chance to drive you in from 2nd. If McKinstry can't score on a single to the outfield from 2nd, screw him. Just a low IQ play. There isn't that much of an advantage being at 3rd over 2nd with 2 outs, at least not a big enough one to risk being thrown out
  22. He was out. Sucks that he took a run off the board. You can score from 2nd on a base hit to the outfield almost as easily as you can from 3rd. Never want to make the 3rd out at 3rd.
  23. Not so much You also have told me Hinch has a lot of integrity and Harris is an amazing gm too. I think we disagree a lot of things.
  24. Vs lefties Greene .223 avg, .633 ops Keith .163 avg .403 ops Meadows .205 avg, .410 ops Carpenter .217 avg, .638 ops Maybe Hinch just dislikes Carpenter personally.
  25. God forbid if Carpenter gets an at bat against a left handed pitcher. I honestly think Hinch would have had guys like Barry Bonds, Ted Williams, and Babe Ruth in platoon situations had he managed back in the day.
