I tend to think that in the majors, the kids are old enough to look at the
scoreboad and see who's up. I doubt Baker keeps guys informed about who's
on deck next. That doesn't seem too much to ask from professional
players.
Someone said that the bench coach was away today and someone unfamiliar
was
filling that role today, but I still think players should know what
they're
doing. Have a hard time pinning it on the manager.
Now about these lineups......
