I couldn’t believe it. The only team in the Majors this year without a win when trailing after 8 is the Yankees. Nice hands Ugly.

Jayson Nix. Ramiro Pena. Christ, Graig Nettles. Anyone but McGehee, who despite being nothing short of horrifying, is playing every fucking day for no other reason than being right handed.

This year, McGehee has a .799 OPS against LHP.
I’m not sure. Is that batter then Chavez?

Swung, fouled, and watched. Elegant; symmetric; aesthetic.

He’s not good, but he’s way, way, way better than Chavez against lefties. Chavez hits lefty pitchers like a lefty pitcher.

Hey, are they really going to lose 3 in a row to the White Sox?!

Over the previous 3 years, Chavez has a .416 OPS against LHP.
This year, Chavez has a .284 OPS against LHP.
I’d say he’s better off on the bench, PHing if needed.
