re: Yep, tired of the bull shite. Hayden Travinski needs to be in the lineup every day...

Who lets these retards on the Rant? We need a pre-tiger rant board where these morons have to create 10 good threads in a month before they are allowed over here.

This is frickin dumb.

Loved watching Beloso tear it up a couple years ago. Also, understand that catcher is a valuable position and worthy of sacrificing a bat for good D, sometimes.

BUT, People that come here and disregard the topic altogether and suggest that it's idiotic to say Travinski needs to be in the lineup are either blind or simply not watching him hit the baseball.

Completely understand that we are in a unique position in which he may (or may not) be the odd man out. But, man, when you watch him swing the bat, its just so apparent that he has something special. I mean the guy has had only pinch hit this year. He walks a ton, hits for average, and squares the ball up nearly every time he makes contact. In fact, I cannot think of one bad AB of his off the top of my head. I'm sure some keyboard warrior will hit me with an at bad from the eighth inning of Wednesday, March ___.

None of us are hired to make the decisions, but strictly on observation, this kid has a special bat with a ton of power. That was a big league bomb on Sunday. So, all I'm saying is Minaeri needs to do the job he is hired to do, and figure out a way to get this kid some quality PT. Or, in the alternative, we can keep living with our heads in the mud, and this kid will be starting catcher for ULL/Nichols in a year and everyone will be furious when he takes our midweek started deep twice and we lose.
