Those balls were basically in the others batters box. I think we probably will just disagree on these.

 

The second one bounced off of Bandy's leg. Either way it is lazy technique to try to backhand rather than block. Catching 101

 

Spiked 95mph fastballs are what they are. It is not easy so no, not catching 101.

 

The fundamental part is that when runners are on base you do not try to backhand pitches, you block them. Maybe the chance of blocking is only 5%, but it is still better than a backhand attempt on a spiked fastball.

Yea blocking my doesn’t always work at that stage.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Seriously, what does Sogard add to the team at this point? Grit is not a thing.

 

Well, going into tonight, his OBP with the Brewers was .387.

 

Fair enough, but his .174/.204/.304 should get him a one-way ticket to AAA now.

 

Villar has atleast one hit in every start (except 1) this season and sports a .342 batting average (including .314 coming into tonight) and was 2/3 already in this game. Why not let him keep raking?

I'm not arguing against Villar. I'm just providing information about what Sogard has added to the team.

Hernan is the one that should go bye bye. Terrible player.
