Matt Vierling: One of the Glue Guys | Have a Seat

From the top of the Green Monster at historic Fenway Park, Matt Vierling sits down with Jason and Dan to discuss his second season as a Detroit Tiger. The former t-ball line drive machine recounts his path to the Majors - from Notre Dame baseball to his time in Philly, to landing in the Motor City. What are the characteristics of a “glue guy”? And why, according to Matt, is the Tigers lineup full of them? Vierling explains some of the changes he’s made to tap into more power at the plate, and the challenge of making those tweaks without fundamentally altering his approach. What does it feel like to hit a walk-off home run at Comerica Park? Also in the episode, Matt recalls being fined by Andrew Chafin, glancing at Jason after an at-bat in Arizona, and does his best Boston accent.
