Hopefully Murphy doesn’t get too antsy getting Yelich in there if Vaughn faces a righty in like inning 5 or 6 only to then leave a glut of lefty bats in a row late in the game without Vaughn to pinch hit
I think he was pretty even in the minors, but it’s is a combo of Mitchell being worse vs LHP but mainly (and only) if he looks lost at the plate again. His regular season stats aren’t as relevant if he keeps striking out constantly
That’s just it. If all he does is strikeout, then he’s power potential doesn’t matter. I’d start him vs a righty, but there’s no reason to keep him in if he constantly strikes out, especially late in the game and a lefty pitcher is in
The only run Henderson gave up since the first inning was after the inning should’ve been over. If you’re gonna pull starters so quickly then you should have no issue starting them later this series. And don’t whine about an overused pen then
I’m afraid you’ll be correct. Gary has 200 higher OPS vs lefties but Yelich is a name and used to be good. They should have carried 3 catchers so they won’t be afraid to use Sanchez
