Bregman is an All-Star hitter, and that's why you don't have to sit guys...so Cora looks like a genius but maybe he should just be in that lineup anyway...I realize the quad, but silly, let him play.
The reason why Devers, and I don't really care if he's 'fat' or he's selfish or he's not hitting for Giants....the reason he makes a difference is he could just have been the full-time DH and we had an extra RBI hitter in the lineup on a daily basis...nah, we'd rather have singles hitter Yoshida occupy DH or even play LF...just don't see it as a winning formula. You don't think he wouldn't have hit a bomb or 2 at Wrigley?
Also surprised lefty for Cubs who dominated Yoshida doesn't get another batter....sometimes it's over-managing...just because you got matchups doesn't mean you can't allow for your lefty to face Story to start inning. But that is today's game
This is why I don't care about platoons either...Yoshida gets to hit off a lefty but not power-hitting Abreu? You are not going to get better at hitting same side pitching by sitting.
this is the inconsistency of the platoon that I am sick of...If Yoshida can't be pinch hit for with a runner on 3rd lefty v lefty, then what's the point of having the back up righty hitters..it's not like Yoshida is Devers
