My son was the opposite. He should have been a textbook leadoff hitter, but died whenever he was put leadoff, and it never failed, it would take his coach (whoever it was that year) half the season to figure it out.
Probably no coincidence that the Cubs recent trend toward winning has come at the same time that Fons has heated up. Kinda wish he was batting third or fourth!!
No kidding, man. Why does it not surprise me that Iz and Jock were part of the demise of that inning? Cormier could pitch to those two with his eyes closed and get an easy out.
