Exactly. Guys like him who are experienced tend to be more clutch when you really need them. Call it calmer nerves or whatever but you need these types of guys in the playoffs. Again, I have no problem with it as he’s not your everyday lineup guy at this stage. I do have a problem with IKF, Varsho and whomever is playing second base in more or less guaranteed spots when they have uncertainty. Those guys need to be guaranteed stretches but if they can’t get it going they should be on the bench. Relying on them as starters is a real prayer.
