    So, Marwin should bat right handed is the obvious solution, no?

    Exactly. Him not swinging at any of those strikes has me wondering if he was banking on a mistake and that's all (whether it's a ball or a hanging off-speed).

    Just a sucky approach. I don't mind k's swinging, provides you're getting a good hack at a pitch in the zone.

    White.

    To be fair, should have clarified that it is more on Luhnow than Hinch. The roster is flawed.

    lol, White coming off an 0-3. If he K'ed on that same AB, the forum would've been up in arms having White in over Marwin. No winning the lineup game

    There's really no reason we should be trotting the same roster out there over and over. There's help ready in the minors.

    We need to make a trade for a proven veteran bat. Doesn't have to be a star, can't keep counting on prospects to come up & just get it done. Hardly how it works. Marisnick, Tucker, White really have no business in the bigs right now.

    It's also where good pitchers come through.

    Something has to give.
