I don't want the worst player leading off and the benefit of handedness of the player is trumping actual production. Pollock has a history of being a good hitter use him. Instead we get three guys that are currently worthless batting 1st, 3rd and 5th because they can stand in the LHH batters box. That is the only rationale. Sheets is hitting better than all three of them and he was batting 7th....and I don't think much of Sheets.

Maybe this is what is driving Abreu's retirement and Grandal's tank. Eloy Moncada and Robert seem to be regressing. Maybe the extensions weren't beneficial.

Top 6 were Latin players and 0-23

And have never found it.....did they way the team was managed kill the edge?

Moncada sucks

Historically worst LHH and I'd love to see a worse leadoff hitter used as often as Garcia.

Game is going to be 8-0 very soon

They will go 1 2 3 rather meekly in the 9th.

Leadoff man 0-4 with 3 ks and pop out to catcher. Booing was very audible.

They think he's Ben zobrist.....he's not.

Losing this game is tolerable. The drunken stupidity is what irks me.

Bennett Sousa to save the day.

Moncada and Grandal should bat 7 and 8 and Garcia should never be above 9.

There was plenty of booing Garcia here.

Pollock should bat leadoff. It's noy really that hard.

Fuck this drunken idiot old asshole. Garcia is batting .186 with a .194OBP and thos asshole thinks him leading off is a good idea. Along with hitting guys purely on handedness.

I'm hoping Pollock gets more playing time over Sheets. The Sheets experiment needs to end.

The trade was a wash based on talent. Then you get the mental makeup of the players and that is where you see that Boston had the upper hand in the deal on what they knew.

Yes and it forces them to once again look for a LHH

Sad our building block pitchers couldn't do what cueto is doing.

He could give two shits where he is playing. He looks like a guy that got his money and will work hard when a new deal is on the horizon. If he was not locked up long term, I think we see a different guy. Same with Jimenez.

I said this Monday. He should hit leadoff and be the DH every day. You have players that absolutely suck being run out there every day yet for some odd reason he has some platoon situation. The lineup construction used by this fucking drunk asshole is killing me and this team. There is zero opportunity for any consistency because of what he thinks, with no support, is a good idea, Also maybe being the Cuban pipeline wasn't that great of an idea after all.

Hopefully yoan didn't hurt himself in that AB

What he did was stupid but he has been involved in most of their runs last 2 games
