In the last week both Robert and Vaughn are much improved...now I need to work on Moncada.

Millionaires and Billionaires fighting over how much more the fans will have to pay to enjoy their favorite team. Exasperating!

Jose seems to be out of the funk.

I was glad to see him in the lineup at first. Would really add to his value. Only took one play to understand why it didn't happen sooner.

Staying within himself. Looks like he has figured it out. Hope so!

Not a good throw...but a major league player needs to make that catch. If he can't...he shouldn't be playing 1st base.

McCann has us spoiled.

Billy Martin would have had Mercedes & Grandal riding the pine after those blunders.

I wish Robert and Vaughn would be playing up to their potential as well as Madrigal has played to his.

I would be all in on Abreu getting a day off occasionally...but, Yermin at first is scary.

Just saw that. Must be working on his trade value.

And the weather to match.

Yoan has that switch-hit thing working in his favor IMO. I certainly feel that the three spot will belong to Robert in the not too distant future.

This is our best lineup IMO. I wish TL would go with this for a while. I've seen enough of Leury to last for the entire season.

His power is exceptional as well. Mercedes and Rodon are the pleasant surprises of a disappointing start to the season so far.

Pierre had only 425 AB's in 2009. When he played 162 games in 2004 his WAR was 4.0. I know Madrogal type players are not everyone's cup of tea...but, I will take Nick over the .220 player to hits 16-20 home runs any day.

You sure wouldn't have many complete games thrown against you.

This is not a game that "hurts". Those would be the 1-0 or 2-1 blown saves, etc. This was just one of those days.

I had the exact same thought. ?

This is our best lineup for the foreseeable future.

That ball was killed.

Yes, I know. Virtually nothing is being for the first time.

There is just no way to make .340 sound bad.

Refreshing to see Leury out of a lineup. A little Leury goes a long way.?

I'm not keen on this lineup either but...It's not like AJ Hinch is setting the world on fire in Detroit.
