...and leads the planet in hitting with RISP ass: and that was the 1st time in his career that Yuli struck out with the bases loaded
Take 1, take 2 runs for all I care. One inning or another, our offense is going to wake up and reek havoc.
Bregman has been second to none this post season. How Yuli has looked lately, yes it would be stupid to pitch to Bregman instead of Yuli.
Situational hitting matters... Clevinger can't have a very long rope at this point. Let's get into their bullpen and see what happens.
I will be shocked if Francona lets him face our lineup a 3rd time through. He has 1, maybe 2 innings left.
Well, based on that standard, you'd be stupid to ever pitch to Bregman - that has nothing to do with Yuli unless you expect him to also be batting 0.500 with a bunch of extra base hits. Yuli has looked just fine, unless your definition of "lately" is 12 innings, which would just be idiotic.
Whatever, Yuli can't leave too many more runs on base after the best player in the postseason so far or Bregman is not going to get much to hit.
