True but obviously not the way to stay relevant in today's game. Ortiz can probably handle it on D but third has been a black hole for years. An infield with Turang Ortiz and black hole is rough offensively.
Unfortunate. Brewers have the money of course and I would argue if Hoskins opts out you have even more. Depressing to watch him walk for nothing. He will be missed.
Frustrating. We have more than enough options why rush him back. Of course the player can count and probably doesn't want to be forgotten so the player is going to say I'm good.
Game like this is exactly what I was talking about. Build your lineup to score early and often. If you score in that first inning opportunity you don't have to worry about bullpen pieces.
I've always been of the mind put your best lineup out there score 8 runs so the whole late game thing doesn't matter. Way to much inferior hitters hitting too high up concerned about 8th relievers.
