Expand Aside from Madrigal being out, the lineup was generally healthy. Engel had a shoulder issue that was cleaned up after the year, but he continued playing - and LaRussa once pinch hit for him with Cesar, put Leury in RF afterwards, and it led directly to a double that put away a game.

Expand No. He started him over Cesar twice and Engel twice. Can argue starting him over Cesar but the point is he's always going to find a way to get Leury in there. He's not playing Leury because he thinks his starters need rest, he's playing him because he thinks he is a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 Benetti didn't even mention Leury when he read through the lineup. Went from Robert to "Abreu in the 4 hole" They also didn't list Leury on their 3 players lifetime vs Plesac Neither were unintentional 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralChamps21 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Either TA needs to stop swinging at the first pitch so often, or he needs to be moved down in the order. This is getting really tiring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony absolutely cares about Leury's performance and will plan to play him a ton in the playoffs if we get there. He's throwing him out there because he thinks he's much better than he is, not the reason you're giving. Expand Looking back this is inaccurate. He did start 3 out if the 4 but in 2 of those it was in place if Hernandez at 2B. With as bad as hernandez was playing I don't blame the Sox for playing him over Hernandez. I think Garcia lead the team in RBI on the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Oh my god this just reawakened a memory of when I had a Road to the Show player hitting .380 with a .375 OBP and some absurd OPS for the Cardinals...and Tony LaRussa benched him for not taking enough walks. I went from starting RF to randomly playing out of position, where my defensive stats were bad. So I kept getting buried on the bench. Oh my fucking god it was a prophecy. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
