re: How did Tommy White look at the plate?

I'll say this, watching Dugas handle 2b and some of the plays Nippolt has made at 3b, White may have to DH for the team's sake
Than you have the issue with Morgan being off 1B even though Jones has been adequate at 1b

Tough decisions to be made

I also think Pearson and Beloso need some opportunities against Right handed pitching to get more favorable matchups

Exactly my impression

In my unprofessional opinion, he was pulling his front shoulder out too early on almost every pitch. He make pull contact on several well thrown down and in pitches before lining one for a double. I think if the pitcher had thrown one away, he would have struck out. But the pitcher was going with his best pitch and was very effective.
