papalawrence Posted June 7 Posted June 7 I didn't realize how much young talent the Cubs have. They are a well rounded team, much like the Tigers, only perhaps the Cubs have a bit more talent. Quote

Hit him 7th until he learns how to actually make contact, if he ever does. I think Riley has overcompensated on his fly ball approach and pitchers have found the weaknesses in his extreme uppercut swing. I am going to guess that he is going to have to work his way back to an approach that keeps his bat in the zone longer and lets him cover the outside better. He's pretty locked into the inside of the zone so far this season. There was reporting this spring about how he wanted to look for inside pitches - I think the league knows the answer to that is don't throw it there..... Edited June 7 by gehringer_2 1 Quote

Sports_Freak Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Just now, papalawrence said: His swing is so long - reminds me of Cody Bellinger. Might be prone to prolonged streaks Bad habits are hard to break. He's swinging from the heels. He talked about hitting more fly balls and less grounders. Maybe he should just try...hitting the ball and forget about the launch angle for a while. Hitting one home run for every 20 strikeouts isn't really worth it. Quote

This wasn't always his approach, it was a change that got him here, so that at least argues he has the capability to change again. 1 Quote

Sports_Freak Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Twins, KC and Cleveland all lose. The last 2 Tigers losses, those teams also lost. 2 Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted June 8 Posted June 8 Riley may need a day off. Just a day to chill a little. Nothing wrong with that. Quote
GalagaGuy Posted June 8 Posted June 8 Tigers are 6-4 in their last 10. Twins, Guardians and Royals are 4-6 in their last 10. As long as their slumps are a bit worse than ours, I'll take it. 1 Quote

Given the competitiveness of the top 4 teams that very well may be enough for the division. Quote
