tiger2022 Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Hinch surely hates Colt Keith. Playing Zach Short just to show how much smarter he is than anyone else They are pretty much out of the playoff race...how about letting some of the 24 year old left handed hitters try hitting against left handed pitchers? Can it really be that much worse than letting Short or Jones get at bats? Edited 1 hour ago by tiger2022 Quote

Can it really be that much worse than letting Short or Jones get at bats? the platoon thing has gone off the deep end - it's like they aren't even thinking about what they are doing. You want to go by the numbers, fine: Lets say Colt's OPS split is 250 - (and I'd wager it would be less than that if he playing everyday), and he is 800 against RHP - he's still a better option against a LHP than Short by 200 OPS points! Any strategy is only as good as the players you have to implement it. The guy on the team that may have the best contact skill right now on a team literally dying for it, and he can't stay in the lineup. Edited 37 minutes ago by gehringer_2 Quote
