He doesn't have it right. The 'you' was not Schneider's trade but our foolish GM's trade. Varsho sucks offensively, is among the team worst in OPS and has to go in lefty on lefty with the game on the line?
Clement's AAA #s this year, not career, this year are: .328 and 920 OPS and he has some recent MLB experience. Probably better to sub with a non AAA player if they could have, but yes, I have no problem benching Varsho in a run producing situation.
The trade itself is the real embarrassment, not not playing the crummy offensive result of it.
Benching Varsho based on a less than month sample size with a minor leaguer is objectively a terrible decision.
Also he shouldn't even be batting 2nd in that case if he's gonna get pinch hit for in the biggest spot of the game lmao
