| Theriot is the mighty DH in Game 4. (US Presswire) |
DETROIT -- The Giants lead the World Series 3-0 with Game 4 set for 8:07 p.m. ET/5:07 p.m. PT Sunday. The lineups are out, and one thing in particular stood out to me: Ryan Theriot is the Giants' designated hitter.
Theriot had a .321 slugging percentage with zero homers during the regular season, so he's the polar opposite of a traditional DH. And the funny thing is, everything Giants manager Bruce Bochy has done this series has worked out, so seeing Theriot collect an extra-base hit wouldn't even be remotely surprising.
Anyway, the lineups.
