Oxygen difference in Colorado? Increased injury?....this is the World Series, we are talking about possibly the best left handed hitter in the league. David Ortiz does not come off the lineup unless given an off day throughout the course of the season. Ortiz is in no need of a day off so he will play, end of story.
It's not a slam dunk decision for those who want to complicate the matter. Fact is, David Ortiz is the best hitter on the Red Sox and will not sit.
No we are not, it was just an idea that I do not think would ever happen. We should get used to the idea Kevin Youkilis will be on the bench and come in as a pinch hitter and defensive replacement when needed.
