In a small sample, Veirling has reversed his platoon split this year - hitting RHP and not LHP.  Since he has not had trouble hitting LHP in the past and should hit them again, this is a positive sign. 

he also has good process stats this year.  I was thinking he had them last year based on his at bats versus LHP.

Maton in the 5 hole again...it's just crazy enough that it might work this time!

Nope. Opposing pitchers don't even waste a pitch when he's down 0-2. They just pound the strike zone and watch him wiff. Hitting 5th? He shouldn't even be in the line-up. An overpriced back-up.

I really dont get it...hell, Miggy's earned the 5th spot recently over Maton, it makes zero sense, he should be hitting 9th if they insist on wasting lineup spot with him.

Why is Maton hitting so high or in the lineup? Also nice triple 

Harris been hitting some of Avila's leftover cold medicine?  Only the 2023 Tigers would have literally the worst statistical hitter in MLB hitting 5th every day...

Harris is making out the lineup?

No, but he's still got Maton up here for some reason...as far as AJ hitting him at 5, who knows why; Harris and AJ have to converse about these players, and they have def had to converse about Maton hitting 5th for this extended period.   Not saying Harris is going to micro-manage and tell AJ how to run his lineup, but a good GM would have to question his coach at this point about constantly trotting the worst hitter in the league at the 5 spot EVERY GAME...and oh look, there's an error by Maton.
