What??
How f’ing DARE he! This infuriates me.
remember how quaint it was when they made the effort and paid professional writers like William Safire to compose sophisticated dog whistle rhetoric? Good Times......

He looks like a hitter, from what little highlight reel I have seen of him
The two RBI walks he worked were impressive - he doesn't easily lose his nerve.

I think he was getting arm soreness at 3B
FWIW - there was one story that said the thing he did to his shoulder sliding into the base was going to take 2 yrs to heal "completely", so possibly a continuing deficit there - at least coming into this season.

So, given Torkelson's week, albeit maybe BABIP aided, do they move him up the lineup a bit?
Hinch probably will, but I would not - I still want to see him use the more of the field and be more aggressive on FBs middle to outer third. Even Gibson complained today that Tork takes too many strikes.

One of the reasons they moved him to 3rd was his lack of range-don’t think Short is an option at all.
Interesting. Have assumed so far that it was mostly about Keith's move to 2b blocking him there.
-
any kind of background noise at all about trying Jung at SS? It seems like a if a guy can play 3B he's got some arm, and if he can play 2B he's got a little glove, and your system's need for a SS is close to dire, it might be worth at least an audition.

I don't think Henning said it. Keith did.
383 is reasonable HR if you pull at least to the power alley - if you are to the center field side of the power alley you have no real complaint until you've hit it more like 400'
a home run in exactly 1/2 (15) the parks says nothing more than that you play on an average field
If there is one thing Hinch needs this team to do it's stop making excuses for themselves and start hitting the ball. he needs to stomp any player self-pity about the ballpark dead. Hate to hear that kind of crap.

This is Lynn Henning excuse nonsense.
Henning is such a tool. 383 is not a HR in any CF anywhere and he certainly should know that.
What's so ridiculous is that he's been in every major league park countless times, its absurd he makes statement that people will rely on assuming he's giving them reliable reporting when he's not.

This game sucked. It was like being spanked by the ugly babysitter and your mom thinks you’re lying.
been a depressing week for this team. Today I can take. It's one thing to get stoned by Verlander when he has it all working, or even losing ugly and knowing there is stuff you can fix, but continuing to fall just short of the mark in close games and have no answer is more the downer.

all we need now is for Torkelson and Greene to hit in the same ballgames. In the last 7, Tork is at 320, Greene has gone ice cold to 138.

walking a guy down by 8 is just about as bad as walking a guy up by 8.
-
well, Lange can't throw strikes today, Wentz got hammered, Foley has a problem, Maeda to the DL. The pitching is going to be gone before the hitting ever comes around.
-
Interesting contrast - Verlander did give in to Torkelson with the middle-middle FB but Took couldn't get on top of it.
EDIT: could get high enough on the line drive either......

LOL - Verlander gives Carpenter three breaking balls and has him losing his bat.
actually not sure why you bring JV out for the 7th, but whatever.

Another good start by Flaherty. Him and Olson are two of the lowest in run support.
Verlander when the curve ball is on is no sin to have trouble against, but that's no excuse for all the other poor offensive days.

Verlander didn't give in and walked Greene. Lets see if that is a better decision.

Giving up two runs with this offense? Take your L.
I think we are at the point today where pitchers at too reluctant to walk guys when they should be willing to. Flaherty had pretty much llost that AB at 2-0, completely at 3-0, tip your hat and the give the batter 1st base and live to fight the next bat
-
LOL - "Verlander's not 1.1 to home" 10 seconds later Colt is out by 5 ft.

Kate is still waiting for the perfecto.

IDK if Keith is getting as fast a Schoop was on the pivot, but he's not doing to badly.

'burned' is a the correct term here, not 'wasted', that is unless you are a Minny fan...
