Baddoo demoted for Vilade. That's got to be it for him:

 

 

Dodgers are starting two lefties the next 2 games so they may just figure he probably isn't going to play much this series anyway.

It's the best place where he can pitch 2-3 times/ per week and make quick adjustments game-to-game. Pitch 1-2 innings and make adjustments for the next stint. And hopefully improve.

I'm not saying he'll pitch that often...

Just sayin'...

Good.

I think Baddoo is toast.

And as for Vilade... Can he field or is he another Malloy? They used him all over the field. Everywhere except SS and catcher I believe...

I want to see if he's just a AAAA guy though, that'll never "get it" in MLB (figure out this level of pitching)...

Or if he can figure this **** out and approach what he was doing in AAA. He'd be useful if he could do that...

Yeah, Hinch. DH your best outfielder and put the weakest OF you can in the lineup. LF and RF should be an adventure tonight. Skubal should refuse to pitch...lol

RH hitting against LHP has been a struggle for the Tigers this season. And just to make it worse, our two RHH catchers both have reverse platoon splits.

Mark Canha is the DH tonight.  Canha is the best outfielder?  On a team with Riley Greene?

maybe the best of he Malloy and Vilade, but Canha is probably  DHing because he is borderline hurting.

Vilade started out life as a SS and has been working his way down the defensive value scale ever since, to pretty much rock bottom at LF. An ex-SS should at least have an above average arm for a LF.

Your point is valid for this game but consider this - maybe they want to see Malloy get some action to help determine if he can play the outfield “at all”.

It’s one game.  Skubal is going to strike out most of those donkeys anyway.
