Why is it ok to cherrypick the last few weeks for Ortiz and Durbin while ignoring their season numbers as a whole. 

That's why.

Actually, "One mistake is one mistake" is a very Haphazard way of managing. 

My point exactly. It didn't make sense to go down that road especially with a guy who has track record like Frelick

He killed the rally by cleaning off the bases!

Ortiz is in the wrong swinging 1st pitch bases loaded after consecutive walks before him.  Low 1/3 of the plate is not the pitch to drive, thats the pitch to? GiDP like he did.  Gotta wait for better pitch just have to.

Of course he redeemed himself big time.

[RightFieldCoder]

Now Seigler gets benched. No consistency from the manager.

It's called improvement? Is it cherry picking to celebrate how Yelich has been hitting lately after his awful start?

Extreme example, but how about this: what if a guy had 100 AB each month April-July and got zero hits. Batted .000. He's still somehow in the lineup, though, and in August has another 100 AB and gets a hit every single time. Would you want to bench him for the playoff push in September even though he's only hitting .200?

That pitch was one to drive quick learner.

Ortiz bottomed out with a .432 OPS through his first 141 PAs this year.

Over his last 148 PA prior to today (cool grand slam) he had a .701 OPS.

Last year over 511 PA Ortiz hit for a .726 OPS.

Some might call it cherry picking, others might call it regressing to the mean. Unless one believes Ortiz is a true talent .432 OPS hitter.

The various publicly available projection systems see him as something like a .658 to .694 OPS hitter rest of season, much closer to his recent level of production than his whole season .569 OPS.

We caught them just at the right time.

[Brian]

I wonder how Sterns is enjoying the game. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I feel better than I have about the offense in about 7 years. Not because it's amazing but because it feels less reliant on two guys pretty much needing to be on a tear.

Just checked his game logs for season, Only 1 game had 4 runs scored while on the mound. Having himself a very good year.

[Bulldogboy]

Mears has been a godsend

One of my first memories of baseball was Dave Parker throwing that dude out at home in the all star game.
