I seriously can't figure out for the life of me why Francona continues to bat him third. Francona's not a dumbshit' date=' but he's putting on a good act.[/quote']

 

It's pretty simple really. He's putting confidence in the guy to snap out of it, if he drops him in the lineup, he risks damaging his confidence.

To hell with confidence, the guy is f***ing up the whole offense. I think that takes priority over a washed-up whale's 'confidence'.

f***, just drop him down to 8. Lowell and Tek are both absolutely killing the ball (well, at least compared to Ortiz). You should have to earn/lose your spot in the lineup. Ortiz should have lost the 3 spot by now, and drop below anyone who is actually hitting, meaning the 8 spot. Winning games > "maintaining" confidence in a struggling piece of s*** player.
