An offense that has a hitter as mediocre (again, he has a 104 wRC+, Cavan Biggio has a 103 wRC+ career) as Whit Merrifield batting #5 is not a good one. I'm still not sure how you're missing the point here.


Most teams would probably not look great with 3 everyday players out.

Isn't it 4 everyday players out?

Yes, even worse.

So why is Biggio batting #2? We pinch hit him like he’s actually good last night for a SO, and now we are batting him #2?

It's a garbage team, there's no doubt. Hence why they're about to lose a series to the worst team in the NL.

Because Belt is injured.

That was extremely not a strike according to ESPN.

He's been terrible at the plate for over a month.

Espinal is actually pretty slow statistically, almost as slow as Vlad these days. Probably the right decision.

Espinal/McCoy, Horowitz, Merrifield, Clemente win this game in the 9th. Vlad grounded to SS in the 9th…

Imagine when they traded Arenado and signed Kris Bryant.
