    DetroitNole DeToxRox how many of Torks homers have come when we are either way ahead or getting blown out? Seems like all but one or two.

    Baltimore he hit a HR to extend lead from 1 to 2, we only won that game by 1

    KC he hit a 3 run hr in a tie game, only runs we scored in a 3-1 win

    Minnesota he hit a HR to cut lead from 2 to 1

    Game before also against Minnesota he hit a 1st inning hr to make it 1-0

    Against NY he hit a HR to extend lead from 1 to 2

    Hit a HR against Dodgers cutting lead to 1 in 7th

    That's 6 of his 10 HR. Looks like 1 more was hit in a 3 run game and other 3 were in 4+ run games

    Kinda seems like he is. Flaherty’s fastball isn’t good enough. Mize could potentially be but I trust Olson more to be consistently good and I don’t think Mize gets as much swing and miss as Olson.

    he would be perfect guy to use opener on, but has bonus tied to games started. Could easily fix that and move to appearances.

    Doesn't even need to be an opener. He can go 5. He's given 16 er this year, 8 have come in the 6th inning

    Edit misread your post, thought originally you meant to use him as an opener, but I understand now your suggestion

    Just hope we don't get any rainouts or doubleheaders. Weather doesn't look great. Throwing Montero any day could throw a wrench in the numbers.

    I'm sure 35 games into the season if I asked you to name our 5 1+ war players, everyone would have had Tork, Mize, McKinstry and Baez down as 4 of them

    Would be nice if he starts hitting for power. All he does is hits singles.

    I don't know why they'd need anyone beside Benetti/Dirks/one sideline person (Bruce). Always seemed like a lot of the people didn't really add much of anything

    They still do pre and post game shows, right? Or are they cutting those completely?

    Why can't dirks/benetti/bruce do those? Is it really worth paying someone else for 30 min pre and post game shows? Let Bruce do a segment or two and cut back to Benetti and Dirks for some analysis.

    With Vierling on the way up, thought they may have thrown margot up and sent Jung and Malloy down, but he'd be the odd man out anyway when Meadows returns so they just doing it now.

    Daniela and Dirks did one of the post games last week. Sometimes I don’t turn off the MLB.tv feed after the game ends and I see the postgame.
