Sometimes I just want to read something and not hear someone bugging you to "like" this video and "subscribe" to them. Long winded know it all's.... A setting to suppress video results would be nice. Of course the number or Youtubes is probably growing much faster than the number of new text based sites so seeing a lot of them in search results is probably to be expected. Quote

Torkelson has been 2nd in the lineup more times than that this season. Neither is suited to be that high in the lineup right now, and maybe won't be ever. Quote

Unless Urshela can fill in at short, you still need McKinstry around. It doesn't help that Leonard and Kreidler got hurt in Toledo to give us some shortstop depth. This probably makes the most sense right now. Quote

My only point is that IF he was getting on base, the Tigers would be a much better offensive team. It looks like Hinch tried him at leadoff for the first couple of weeks, up until the Pittsburgh series. It just didn't work out... Quote

The kid is a weapon on the bases but at the top of the order, he was a bust. Even at the bottom of the order, he doesn't get on base. Having Riley get so many hits with the bases empty is a waste. The better Greene does, the less I like him batting first with so many black holes in front of him. Quote
1984Echoes Posted May 3, 2024 Posted May 3, 2024 Absolutely. He needs to bat 3rd. So the chances are better there's men on base when he comes to the plate. And at least, as of today, that means putting Canha & Wenceel in the top two spots... Followed by Riley... Quote
