I don’t know if Alex Avila batting second will ever become the OBP driven thing we’ve discussed here at BYB, but it sure worked out Saturday night. Texas Rangers starter A.J. Griffin didn’t know what hit him. Avila to right field? Sure, Avila is so hot right now. Miguel Cabrera and J.D. Martinez following with oppo blasts over the big wall in right center? That is run support the likes of which Justin Verlander is almost wholly unfamiliar.
Like shooting ducks in a barrel.
