why you think he should bat 3rd

[gladdyontherise]

I still can't figure out for the life of me why Leyland doesn't hit Miggy 3rd. Seriously makes ZERO sense.

I'm still trying to figure it out myself..He's been doing it though ever since Miggy came to Detroit..

.....because he'd get roughly 30-40 more at bats a season. One would think you'd want your best player to get up to bat as many times as possible, no?

I may be wrong but I think you said it could've been as high as 60 more ABs, right?

Leyland is the same manager though who in 2009 would bat Clete Thomas 3rd on a consistent basis

[nadeau01_johnson48]

It's something like that....but at the very least, 30-40 AB's.

As long as they win i could really care less about how many bats one gets.
but ya i guess that makes sence.
There is really not enough hours in a day for me too count at bats from my perspective.

Well, they've never made the playoffs with Miggy on the team, so I wouldn't exactly say they win a lot.

I blame Leyland...and Ryan Raburn

Whoever the homeplate ump is, he's awful, I don't think i've ever seen a worse strikezone than whats being called tonight..this is just getting on a ridiculous level, when the ball is right down the middle and its called a ball, its sad (and no i'm not exaggerating)
