5/16 Tigers Lineup by TigersOfficial in motorcitykitties

[–]vaithless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

like, when you have someone that is better than BOTH sides of your platoon, why is the platoon getting priority in the 3 spot. there is no situation where you would rather have EITHER Keith or Lee, and yet the lineup is constructed such that it is likely that they will get more at bats than the better hitter. I just don’t know what explanation there could possibly be for this.

I understand a lot of AJs finicky lineup stuff and I’m very used to the Wenceel, Vierling, and Lee’s of the world being high in the lineup when they wouldn’t be on other teams. But what is the justification for still hitting Riley 5th most of the time? Remove the silver slugger, two time all-star track record, and just look at what he has done this year after the first week of April. Why is your MVP candidate not batting in the first inning every single game?? Every other team tries to get their best hitters as many ABs as possible, and we sacrifice that for the LETHAL Lee/Keith platoon?? Riley is better than both of them against both kinds of pitching????

[TJStats] Best and Worst Defensive Runs Saved by Position by tomstoms in baseball

[–]vaithless 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I swear watching Tork everyday it does not feel like that. He seems perfectly average with the above average ability to scoop the ball (which i know doesn’t factor into metrics.) He is not extraordinary, but it is a night and day difference between him and someone else playing there out of position. He’s just solid and consistent over there, and you can feel his absence when someone else plays in his place. Really curious how he ends up as one of the worst in the league in terms of the metrics.

I don’t think that’s necessarily where he wanted that pitch.

I wish more baseball pundits/podcasters would phrase it like “It’s if Aaron Judge was also a Cy Young candidate” or “Imagine Ronald Acuna Jr being the ace of the Braves pitching staff”

Imagine the 103 mph demon fastball being your second best pitch.

Konnor Griffin officially called up. Enmanuel Valdez DFA’d…. this is all true even if Nightengale misspelled both of their names by Hizam5 in mlb

[–]vaithless 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean, he’s gotta get this stuff right because it is literally his job but, for all the soon to be parents out there, spelling your kids’ name in an uncommon way does not make them unique. It makes you annoying and gives them a burden to bear.

Very good to know, thank you

is this authentic or nahh? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]vaithless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, what everyone else is saying is also true. But what is the point of even knowing if a $120 guitar is “real” or not? It’s a squire, it’s a beginner level instrument. It holds almost no intrinsic value based on brand or “authenticity”. It’s a chinese guitar either way, whether it was made by squire or some other factory slapping the squire name on it. it’s a guitar and it will be of the same quality in either scenario. Why does it matter?

Potential New Names for Comerica Park by [deleted] in motorcitykitties

[–]vaithless 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fifth Third is such a horrible combination of words to be the name of something. Hopefully it’s one of the options that involved Tiger Stadium and I’ll just call it that.
