Lawlar is SUPPOSED to hit lefties…Most managers would’ve made that switch, especially since Thomas has been putrid all year against lefties.
But man, is it possible Lawlar is regressing? I mean, he certainly wouldn’t have much of a place to regress from, but he’s been super bad over the past 5-6 games.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Lawlar is straight trash

Lawlar has a .504 ops against lefties before tonight.

Thomas is .596

It's such a stupid manager decision I have no response.

 

[Dback Jon]

Win!!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

We win despite it all

Yikes… Torey trying to find opportunities to build some confidence in the kid?? I dunno…

While the Dbacks still have a chance for the playoffs?

Dbacks win in spite of Torey's brilliant in game management.

Last I’ve heard, Lawlar remains the #1 prospect for this team, and one of the top prospects across all teams.

Lawlar would be on the playoff roster IF somehow this team got there. At some point, the #1 prospect will be relied upon in one or several key situations.

Like just about every other managerial in-game decision, this one is ripe for debate with a case to be made either way.

I can 100% understand a manager seeing an opportunity to have a player who comes with as much fanfare as does Lawlar, to give him that shot to break thru the mental funk he’s been in for far too long…
And I can also understand why you would see it the other way.

Lawlar regressing implies he actually has a history of success in the Majors. He's AAAA, at best...and it sucks to admit.
