Posey not playing tonight?
He should be...He just had the AS break. I know he played half the game, but thats still 3 days off.
Belt is not playing, Posey at 1B
Sometimes Bochy gets to obsessed with the lefty/righty matchups, Posey should be catching and Belt should be playing first base, especially with two off days before the month is over.
It makes no sense, because Belt hits lefties better than righties. Career splits:
vs. LHP - .278 avg.
vs. RHP - .254 avg.
Belt's approach at the plate it middle away, so when he faces a lefty, the movement breaking outward is right in his zone. Never understood why Bochy sits him against lefties.
Me neither. Makes no sense.
What are Belt's stats against lefties this season?
Even better. .302 against lefties, .253 against righties.
Hopefully Quiroz will get a hit or two and neither him or Posey screw up defensively. Otherwise if the Giants lose I certainly will be second guessing Bochy on this one.
In terms of wearing out Posey, they just had the all star break, and will have two off days before the month is over so I don't buy this as an excuse to put Posey at 1B and benching Belt
