Roberts stated he’s deciding between three gamers for one spot — doubtless the No. 9 spot within the lineup.
“Basically, it’s am I gonna play Andy (Pages), am I gonna play (Alex) Name, or am I gonna play Miggy Ro (Miguel Rojas)” So, simply form of making an attempt to suppose by all that stuff and web it out and see what provides us the very best probability tomorrow.”
Roberts eliminated Pages after two at-bats in Recreation 5, changing him with Alex Name, who went 0-for-2. Pages is now 4-for-50 (.080) this postseason with an OPS of .215.
Tommy Edman, who initially wasn’t anticipated to be an possibility in middle discipline this postseason as a result of his ankle damage, ended up taking part in there in further innings in Recreation 3. Roberts was requested earlier than the sport if Edman might doubtlessly be an possibility there for the remainder of the collection, or if he’s going to remain at second base.
“I’m not saying it’s zero p.c probability,” Roberts stated of Edman taking part in in middle discipline. “That was form of the place we had been at with the sport, making an attempt to maintain guys in there. However, yeah, it’s actually a risk.”
If Roberts feels good about Edman taking part in middle, Rojas might take over at second base. If not, Roberts might both hold issues establishment and put Pages in middle, or put Name in left and transfer Kiké Hernandez to middle discipline.
