At least Paul is finally experimenting with Hal outside the line up. Something he didn’t do the last 2 years.
Two years ago when Josh Smith, the starting shortstop goes down, you plug in the backup shortstop aka Hal Hughes. Smith never recovered that season. I don’t think Mainieri is forcing the square peg in the round hole like y’all think he is.

This is the kind of logical thinking that isn't tolerated on the rant...
Reality is, he was the backup SS in 2018 and took over when Smith got hurt.
Then in 19, it made more sense to play Smith at 3B, and we didn't have much else behind Hughes, so he went back to SS.
Now, we have options at SS. Out of respect, CPM gave him the starting gig this weekend, but these other guys were always going to get a shot. Mid-week is a great time to do that.
