And those core hitters have being doing so much damage right?

As opposed to what?  Bringing in a career minor league hitter and hoping he can somehow do something.  

The talent is the talent.  If you lose, you lose with your best hitters up there.

The dude who hit 36 hrs on the season.  You can defend Hinch all you want, but any other manager in the league let's Greene hit.

He has all season to the tune of 201 strikeouts. He finally got as tired of seeing them as fans did.

I never get tired of seeing a marginal major league hitter pinch hitting for a guy with 36 hrs.

Only good thing is that if the Tigers had taken advantage of some chances and were ahead going into the 8th they would have blown it all this inning anyways. 

Another good thing is Gaddis and Smith may not be available tomorrow. As long as we make Smith throw a lot of 9th inning pitches.

Problem is you’re basing your entire observation on rep. Greene is a 200 some odd hitter against lefty who hasn’t done anything for 60 days. He wasn’t replacing the all star you make it seem

So now you bring Hurter in?  After the game is kind of out of reach.  Why not bring him in to start the inning?  

 because he trusts Hurter even less than Mize. Hurter is throwing some strikes today though.

EDIT: Apparently one too many however.

If I were Cleveland I’d now send someone else out for the 9th.

I actually kinda agree with him, it was a shock seeing Greene hit for. If he strikes out, so be it. We wouldn't be in the playoffs without him.

I mean sure it’s a little strange but it’s not the omg what are you doing op is making it seem

Forget who was batting. I’m wondering why AJ didn’t elect to bunt in the run with either Greene or Jones.   Seems like that would’ve been a viable option in the 7th.
