He hit .230 with 170 strikeouts while hitting those 31 home runs? Those aren't inspiring stats.
-
I agree, it's much easier to ignore than some horrible jingle.
-
In the leadoff spot? If so, that does seem high.
-
If Mize was doing as poorly as Tork, he would have a 6.9 ERA and walking every other hitter. He's fine, no reason to distract from the main issue...Tork is a major bust...😆
-
Cool. How do you like it? I get a lot of this every half inning;
-
I think most of us agree that Greene is pretty good at the game of baseball.
-
Just when you think you can get out, they drag you back in. 😆
-
Some people say it takes a year to come back from TJ surgery but several more months to be all the way back. I don't know if Mize had TJ surgery or not but he's doing much better at his job than Tork, who wasn't injured, is at his job.
-
It feels like 5-1 may as well be 100-1. Time for yardwork...
-
I don't know. If he's not hitting home runs, he's useless. He's not out there for his defense or base running. He has one job, hit Tork bombs. If he doesn't hit, replace him. I don't care where he was drafted.

How are you watching Bally, on a PC? The FF doesn't work very well on my Roku...it jumps all the way to live when trying to FF thru commercials. I watch on my PC now and it works pretty good.
-
You won't catch me arguing with you. While Perez is hitting/getting on base, lead him off. If he cools down or teams get a book on him, move him down or sit him. But the Tigers aren't scoring runs and we're wasting hits from our best hitter. I think Hinch is just being stubborn, getting Riley an extra 3 at bats a week isn't going to help us score runs.
-
But the best Tork can do is hit .220 to .230. With a low OBP. He's one-dimensional. HR or bust. But it appears pitchers have the book on him, he chases too many bad pitches and takes too many hittable pitches. He's just not very good.
-
Yeah, it was always a weakness under DD. He spent and tried to build a decent BP but it never seemed to work out. Bullpen usage is one of the hardest things to do in today's game. I remember fans getting all over Leyland for his use of arms. Like, what was he supposed to do?
-
I never said he was good. I used to really dislike seeing him come into the game. Also, I was pleased when we released him. I saw him this year and his ERA, at the time, was low. I was astonished.
-
What I'm hearing you say is...hey, the Tigers scored a run. Everything is fine.
-
Even Vierling would be a better choice leading off. My idea is to have Greene hit with runners on base so the Tigers could possibly score more runs. The best hitter on the team should be hitting 3rd or 4th, not leading off.
-
I already did. Perez was on base last night. Canha was on base. Hit Perez 1st, Canha stays 2nd and Greene hits 3rd. Using your best hitter leadoff with 7 black holes in front of him means he'll never bat with RISP. But yeah, you're right, why bother changing anything? Our offense is fine. Yeah, sure...
-
Why didn't Jim Leyland use Cabrera as his leadoff hitter? He was the Tigers best hitter. Didn't he want to get him an extra 3 at bats per week? I don't care who they replace Greene with at the top of the order, he has 6 or 7 black holes in front of him. One hit from the bottom of the lineup and 10 runners left on base!!
-
Didn't he have, like, a really good ERA away from Detroit and then stink at home when he pitched for the Tigers?
-
Switch Perez and Greene. Let Greene hit with runners on base. Score runs. It's not really that complicated.
-
It sure would have been nice if Greene batted with guys on base. Getting 3 hits is pretty good, it would be better with runners in scoring position. No wonder the Tigers can't score any runs, our manager is either too stupid or too stubborn to fill out a lineup card.
-
Jackson Jobe to the injured list with a hamstring injury.
-
His antics on the sidelines. You're correct, he's not a good fit on a MCDC team. And it a bad sign when a "talented" player goes from team to team every season. It seems like teams would want to keep a WR who is supposed to be so good. Keep him, Miami is the perfect place for him.
-
#1 picks get many chances. A 1-1 pick gets even longer to prove himself. Tork is a victim of his draft position and so are us fans.
