Yelich had two months of decent production before he became a shell of himself. Over the past 6-7 weeks he has had very few competitive ABs. Even by Seigler standards, he should not be playing.
I am confused: why not hit Ortiz for Hamilton here? You're going to be happy to have Ortiz's glove in there for the last three innings. Makes no sense to me.
I have been waiting for the day when someone introduces a metric to gauge the run or win differential involved in filling out a lineup card. I suspect I will be waiting for a while longer.
Safe to assume Shewmake/Shoemaker will be the casualty when Hamilton is done with his rehab? I can't see them carrying two spare IF guys, and neither Hamilton nor Shew have any real OF experience that I'm aware of.
