That's not what I was saying and you know it. Listen, I'll say this once. You've made it clear you dislike me immensely. Just go ahead and ignore me and I will do the same for you, everyone will be the better for it. -
To be clear, I would not pinch-hit quite as aggressively as Baldelli. But I agree with him maybe… 80% of the time? And at that point, I’m splitting hairs.

Brice Turang has a .608 OPS against LHP. Sal Frelick has just 60 PAs against LHP and has been pulled from a game he started 15 times and has been inserted into a game late 12 other times. The Brewers have depth in one place, the outfield. Where Frelick plays. Huh.

I guarantee I watch more Brewers games than you. There’s a reason I said “good teams with depth”. Milwaukee is sorely lacking in the latter, particularly at key positions.

I'm sorry Brian but I'm going to pick on you a bit. I cannot fathom why this thinking still exists. We'll use wRC+ because it's one of the best measures of overall offense we have available and is era-adjusted. Here are the career splits against LHP for some past and present Twins: Manuel Margot: 109 Justin Morneau: 85 Joe Mauer: 102 Jason Kubel: 81 Corey Koskie: 81 (no, this is not cherry picking, these are literally the *only* four LHBs I looked up and stopped because it convincingly proves the point) Manuel Margot is better against left-handed pitching than a first-ballot Hall of Famer, one of the best pure hitters of the past 30 years. Can we cut it out that random-but-decent lefties like Matt Wallner will "figure it out" if they just get more exposure to left-handed pitching?

You mean when he had like 25 PAs in April? Yeah, he looked bad. Young players do that sometimes. Also, Wallner had a .925 OPS last September. I mean, it's not four digits but maybe you're being unreasonable with your expectations. And as a person who watches a ton of baseball from a ton of teams, what Rocco does with his LHH against LHP is the norm for good teams with depth. I know none of you ever seem to believe this, but it's true. We have like 125 years of solid data that shows left-handed hitters are ****ing trash against left-handed pitchers 95% of the time.

Pablo vs Shota, great matchup tonight.
-
Harrelson was the White Sox announcer for 28 years so the correct answer is 28.

You know that site doesn't even exist anymore, right? It's just a Facebook group now.
-
Bah, Wallner wasn't even trying there. Get another two feet on that ball you coward.
-
Can you blame him for not giving a **** at this point?
-
Man, it must really suck to be a White Sox fan right now. I'm terribly, horribly sad for them. Boo hoo, my tears are never ending.

Rusty Kuntz had a lengthy career for himself, playing in the majors over parts of seven seasons, but let's be real: we're all here for the name. Russell Jay Kuntz was born in 1955 and played most of his career for the Chicago White Sox. He was traded to the Twins mid-season in 1983 for minor league third baseman Mike Sodders, who never made the majors. While in Minnesota only a partial season, Kuntz collected 113 plate appearances over 31 games (59 OPS+) before moving to the Tigers in 1984 and becoming a peripheral part of their championship winning team. Looking back at Kuntz's career, it's not hard to see why he stuck around in the majors but never received more than 168 plate appearances in the season: he was comically bad against right-handed pitchers. While he posted a respectable .741 OPS against southpaws in his career, his OPS against righties was an abysmal .483. View full player
