[Kirschner] Aaron Boone on if he considered pinch-hitting for DJ in the 9th: “Not with Finnegan. Even though our lefties had some really good at-bats, he’s a killer against lefties. No, not there.” Lefties had a .636 OPS against Finnegan coming into tonight’s game.

i just left that game. it was a disaster. like bad news bears. dj should have left with trevino
We had 3 lefties get gets off him today lmao
Though in fairness, his OPS allowed vs lefties is .100 lower than righties
🤡
Ok, Boone, what’s DJ’s OPS against literally anyone?
Giving no consideration to who is at the plate is insane
Damn I’m a righty, they shoulda gotten me in there!
Rizzos last dance coming up soon though. Starting 1B within a week I feel like
Analytics Department does it again! They’re 12 steps ahead at all times
And yet Jazz hits a double, Wells a single, and Verdugo a single. Boone can’t save serious saying that nonsense out loud like we didn’t all just watch the same game.
Cool
At what point does DJ Lemahieu’s .222 average vs Righties override anything else? If when you get the preferable matchup that you want for DJ he still… sucks, then who cares what the pitcher is proned to do R/L? That’s secondary.
(Fun fact DJ is .154 vs lefties and got the start vs Corbin today for… reasons!)
Then have Oswaldo hit righty. Even the leftys as rightys were better options.
Yet another reminder that DJ has a 25 wRC+ against lefties.
There’s no analytic that could possibly tell you a hitter with those overall numbers is the better option.
He’s batting .434 OPS against lefties… in what world is that a “killer”?
There are still people that say Boone is not a problem with this teamÂ
I’m sick of this L/R bullshit. A good hitter will hit. DJ is spent.
You had a switch hitter on the bench who’s batting .310 this month with a .907 OPS omg I’m going to self-immolate
DJ shouldn’t even be on the team right now, let alone getting late game ABs in the last week of August.
That math aint mathin
Regardless of what you think about how bad Boones fucked everything up…
How big of a piece of shit is Kirschner?
We used to have Lindsey Adler. She covered the Yankees seriously for the Athletic.
She wouldn’t sprint out of the room to write a ragebait tweet while the press conference was still going on.

He’s a clown. We deserve someone serious.
“But not our lefties” should be the thinking
