I am not sure what is happening. But either Cora has a love affair with nunny or Holt kicked his dog. There is just no reason for nunny to have been put in this game against verlander instead of Holt.
It has happened in a few instances already this season and it has got to be some hunch that Cora is playing. Nunny, bad knee, lousy 2nd baseman, RH hitter. Holt, I think his wheels are OK, at least twice the 2nd baseman and given he hits from the left side, I just don't get it.
