Bautista, man, wow.  He is really bad.  Finished August batting worse than he did in July, and he hit .162 in July. Ofer again last night.

And yet, the manager keeps sending him out there to play, leading off until it became intolerable, only to drop him into the 4-hole.  I mean, it's just goofy what is going on between Gibbons and Bautista, how this guy is even in the lineup when it's such an embarrassment.

It's weird, cuz Gibbons played the under-performing Bautista when Your Js still had something of a chance, on the basis that he'd done it before and could maybe do it again.  So now Your Js are out of it, and logic calls for the manager to go to him and tell him, sorry, we gotta give the kids a look-see, your playing time is gonna go way down, but instead, Gibbons keeps running him out there, I guess cuz it doesn't matter any more.  So even though he's clearly though, might as well play him now, won't hurt the team.

Makes no sense.
