P.S. Can you imagine Molina batting ninth in real life? Matheny would never do that.

That’s because he would have double switched him out in the fourth inning.
Good point on Molina/Wong. Molina is also a real plus for hit and run if you play p-x-p, it would seem. He’s going to connect and Wong has speed.
