I just don't understand why we're throwing someone under the bus in favor of someone who is doing less.


Stevenson had made a lot out of a few ABs. He was getting on base, pinch hitting well etc. Meanwhile Gio slumped and lost his starting position.

In a small sample size for both players this season, in just about the same amount of plate appearances, Stevenson is hitting worse but has a few more walks. Over Gio's career he's shown he's capable of hitting. At no point this year, has he had an opportunity to break out of his slump. Which I was fine with, because he had guys who were clearly outperforming him. But with Dugas hurt, we've got a slew of guys to play in the outfield who aren't hitting. One of them is a very good outfielder. That would be Gio. Stevenson's defense was terrible in this game, and drawing a walk wasn't about to make up for it.
