Much less PA but Greene is hitting great vs LHP I think I rather see him leading off. Esp. with his walk ability..

Edit: They must have been listening.

Discipline is the basis for a major breakout for Riley Greene this season

Greene is focused on driving the ball in the air and being more selective in what he swings at.

It's an honor to wear No. 18 as a Japanese-born pitcher. Johnny Kane BSD talked to the right-hander about carrying the special honor with the Tigers.


"To be really good at anything you have to practice at it a lot. Having older brothers…guided me to be the best I could be."Jake Rogers credits his family for not only making him a better baseball player, but a better person.

They are playing him to pull and that pitch was terrible from vest 5-5 now.

I thought it was an inside pitch?

 

[biggunsbob]

Yikes . Damn it.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Well shit.

 

[biggunsbob]

I thought it was an inside pitch?

It was over the plate. They wanted it inside and the players were playing him to pull. He shot it to left field . He was a lefty. Unless we are talking about a different batter .
vest just not sharp and TB is starting to hit. We caught TB at a good time. They were struggling the plate coming into the series. TB is Waking up last few inning.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Lets go Tigers.

Least Boston won 8-0 over Cleveland.
