It's strategy.

What they're trying to do is avoid pockets of left-handed hitters.

So a lot of these lineups that people are reacting to, you're seeing like, you know, maybe O'Hearn or Lau in the five spot and then Horowitz there.

Like, you're not going to stack those guys five, six, and then hit Triolo seventh because it makes it easier for easier deployment for an opposing team.

So you sandwich Triolo in there.

That's not saying he's a better hitter than Spencer Horowitz or somebody like that.

It's saying it's strategy.

We don't want to give him a pocket of lefties, but

Yeah, I mean, I see the belief in Triolo.

Like, this guy who were 52 games last year had, what, a 775 OPS at 275, something like that.

Like, it's in there, and they're not going to react based off of four games, nor should they.

It's just one of those things.

When the rest of the offense is struggling early in the season, gets magnified.

So, yeah.

Yeah, but the at-bats, I've watched the at-bats too.

And you need to take a pitch, what he did on Monday night.

I can't defend that.

I agree with you, Bob.

Baseball players are creatures of comfort.

You guys know that.
