Why the heck would he bat 2nd? If you insist on putting him in your lineup then bury him at the bottom.

Why are you asking me? If I had a choice, he wouldn't even see my lineup.

Porcello should be very happy right now.

It was a rhetorical question.

I was trying to be an ass Mr. Sqwert.

What a joke, Beckham homered on the Sunday night game last year vs Porcello and seemingly hit very well in Detroit.

Why the heck would he bat 2nd? If you insist on putting him in your lineup then bury him at the bottom.

Omar is on fire, he's hitting .333 over his last 6 PA.

You just hate me because I'm a good cook.

This is a taste of your everyday 2nd base situation if they send down Beckham. Ozzie will insert him, and bat him 2nd.

 

 

Beckham either has to play through it here, or in the minors. He shouldn't be sitting.

Which other manager in baseball would bat him 2nd?

It's awesome that Beckham will sit against one of the more hittable pitchers in the AL, and then will be in the line-up tomorrow against Verlander.

To be fair, he's seen a lot of hittable pitchers to date and has nothing to show for it.

Which other manager in baseball would bat him 2nd?

Ron Washington actually did it 6 times last year, this is Omar's 4th go in the 2 hole this year.

Go Rain!

Oh. Another master Xs and Os guy.

Oh. Another master Xs and Os guy.

Bruce Bochy (a solid long time manager) did it 8 times in '08 when Omar hit .222 with a .550 OPS.

Vizquel... whatever, i give up, Ozzie.

 

 

Someone wanna guess which inning Vizquel will get hurt trying to turn a double play?

Oh. Another master Xs and Os guy.

 

But he never DH'd Vizquel. So in essence, the crack-head was alittle smarter in that regard.
