Dave Christian Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Maton allows another run to score. That was the end my friends! Quote
Dtrain72 Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 The suck vortex of Maton is a virus for this team...hello Harris, anybody home?!! Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Okay, that's it. Dude's terrible. Just terrible. Get him the hell out of here. I don't care who you bring up.........Short, Ibanez, McKinstry can all play third base. Enough. Quote

Tigermojo Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Screw Maton Hinch Harris and Illitch! People pay real money to watch this ineptitude. Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 The cardboard cutout of Aurelio would have at least knocked that ball down and saved a run. He's gotta go. He just has to. Do it for him, for crying out loud. Quote
Sports_Freak Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Seriously, has anyone ever asked Hinch why Maton never had to earn a spot on the team? 3rd base was just handed to him and forgotten about. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 The self-inflicted loses are so much harder to take. Quote

Fun fact time: As of this morning, Nick Maton is 22nd among 22 qualified third baseman in offensive runs and 21st in defensive runs, and 22nd in WAR by a country mile. Jeimer Candelario is 7th in offense, 2nd in defense, 3rd in WAR. And the icing on the cake: Isaac Paredes is 1st in offense,19th in defense, 4th in WAR. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=3b&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2023&month=0&season1=2023&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2023-01-01&enddate=2023-12-31&sort=22,d Quote
BBFCFM Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 I've been wondering - is anyone asking Hinch and Harris tough Maton questions? I'd really like to know. Quote

Dtrain72 Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Guys, guys, guys...we dont see what the AJ, Harris, and the everybody within the org see's with Maton everyday. His progress between games (when we dont see him), is really impressive. See guys, none of you get paid the big bucks, and just see the bad part of Maton's game, live during games...if you guys actually got paid to make these decisions, you'd also keep Maton up, none of you poor couch schlubs who dont know **** about baseball get it... 1 Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 This is the most pissed off I have been this season at the Tigers. I don't know. Half a season and he's barely cracking .160 as an everyday player. I think that's an adequate sample size. Nickname for Nick The Human Windmill (at the plate and in the field. Again, would Nevin do better? I don't know, I just don't think, given a spot every other day, that he could be worse. 1 Quote
Tenacious D Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 I know the org isn’t trying to tank, but their stubbornness or indifference to winning is demoralizing. I’m sure the players aren’t happy, either—they are wired to want to win. Cause, winning is better. 1 Quote
RandyMarsh Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Castro now has 14 SBs in 185 PAs this year, he only had 18 in over a 1000 for us. Quote

Maton was ok for Philly last year. Why ?? Is it too much "versatility" and playing out of position verses being able to settle into one position and focus. Quote

Yes, they were asked last week when he was also playing like ass...both Hinch and Harris said that they "like the way he was progessing" and that "there's no consideration of sending him down"...I sit here and laugh in Al Avila voice.

No, because then Hinch will get super stubborn and try to be the smartest guy in the room and prove everyone wrong. Great point about Camargo. Maybe that's why they got him. Quote

He tempts you with his performance at AAA, but it doesn’t translate to the bigs. Please bring up Lipcius or Camargo. Edited June 25, 2023 by Tenacious D Quote
