Why take a 20 foot lead if you're going to lean back to first? Just take a smaller lead and go on first movement if the fucker won't throw to first.
Kike Hernandez is leading off Howie Kendrick is hitting 5th in a position he sucks at A 37 year old catcher is hitting cleanup Our 3 starter can't get through the 4th inning. And we probably don't even have a better alternative to this. I don't know who to blame but it's not enough to win the world series.
It's a great point. Amazing how through all the "amazing depth" praises our FO gets they can't get one guy who can hit LHP at the deadline.
I just can't get over how this is the best lineup we could put out there. It's almost worse that we made it this far because we will likely get more and more of these faux competitive rosters as long as the get us into the "crapshoot" tourney. Hopefully the young kids get to the big leagues soon and contribute.
