If you expect to win with a guy that’s 1-32 in his career your team isn’t very good. I don’t care if he can play 8 positions and sell more beer than Wally the Beerman.
Two things
Why isn’t Larnach running in hard to back up on play Alcala is hit? Standing watching? Would have saved a base.
no enthusiasm- guys not running hard to first on ground balls.
One that gets on base, causes havoc on the paths, with new rules can steal a base, go from first to third on a single. Mookie certainly does those things.
A small change of one spot in the order is not an issue. Agree with you on that. It’s the constant shifting day to day. No regular lead off, no regular clean up hitter etc.
He may be good he may not. Folks here continue to believe Varland is now the answer in the bullpen many of them thought he was backend starter. He’s neither it’s time to move on.
Anyone know how many different batting orders have been used this year? Most good or great Managers have set lineups each game. Guys get comfortable knowing when they get to the park . I don’t understand his reasoning.
