Sure... 2 weeks should do it... only been playing baseball his entire life, but 2 weeks should be just fine. I take it you've never played the game... this would basically be like asking Keuchel to start throwing right-handed if he hurt his shoulder. And in the end, its Marwin's freakin decision to do what he knows how to do, or do something he feels absolutely zero comfort with.
It was his decision to let him bat knowing he can't swing .. Should have taken him out in a game we are losing ... doubt Marwin sees another LHP in this game
I didn't say 2 weeks should do anything but increase whatever lack of comfort there is to whatever small degree it may. And surely you're smarter and I don't have to explain to you how dumb that Keuchel analogy is, so I won't.
Hinch ends up getting all the guys that should've started in by substitution. Absolute moronic lineup he put together today. He sucks as an NL manager.
5-2 still bases loaded no outs for Texas .. looks like we could be playing for Home Field Advantage against the Yanks
Why is it an automatic out if he lays down a solid bunt? What is the defensive tradeoff? What are the PH options? How does that affect strategy for later in the game? Like you said it's not rocket surgery, do you not think Hinch et al thought about these things?
Sure... he also should now a ask Sipp to pitch right-handed now since a right-handed batter is coming up. I mean seriously... some of you act like seeing pitches and having the life-long trained ability to hit a baseball just should be automatic for some of these guys.
