Did you not comprehend this?: He leads the team with a 471 OBP. You don't think it's a good idea to have your OBP leader be your lead-off man?

I get it but there are quite a few players who also have nearly the same obp% and who have struck out way less. At least they put the ball in play and are arguably better hitters who can acutally hit a curve ball. I can recall several games where Mitchell struck out three and four times. That sucks, leadoff hitter are supposed to be adept at putting the ball in play. He is just non existent sometimes.

I can't remember how they got that first out that got him into a groove.

Are you referring to the out just before the sacrifice fly which scored our third run? Hmmmmmmm....

Landry within inches of an out at 1st twice.

i like to see the leadoff batter wear pads on his arms.

Dear bats,

Please show up again.

Thank you.

You've also got to remember that those football fans have been tailgating all day and are fueled by copious amounts of whiskey.

True, True!

And final run so far. One might argue he just needed an out to help him settle in.... which he did.
