Lefties are hitting over .300 against Folty. Descalso is hitting .171 against RHP this year. Seems logical to bring in a LHP. Unless you're Snitker apparently.
I think it was very easy to see in the first game that Freeman would not be able to be a serviceable 3B. On the double hit down the line, I thought most third basemen would have gotten. It looked like FF was guarding the line and still couldn't get there.
I'm not sure FF could play there if...
I really wonder if they will play him at 3B some and move FF to first to give Adams a day off.
I realize that would be in the best interest of the team for that day, but I think if you are moving FF to third you have to go all in with it. Don't yank him back and forth between 1B and 3B. That's...
I didn't realize how bad we were last year until I saw this on twitter.
