08/14 CUBS (Zambrano) @ Houston (Oswalt), 7:05 CDT, CSN+ TV

[cheapseats]

Is there any chance you can ask Dusty or someone on the staff why he continually has low OBP players like Nefi Perez in the #2 hole? Why not put someone in there like Murton who has a high OBP? Let's get some guys on base for Barrett and A-Ram.

 

Neifi has a career average of .417 or something like that against Oswalt.

 

Dusty values batter vs pitcher history very highly.

Looking at the pitching matchups after this game you should thank your district.
