metrics are playing too much into the game - but as is being revealed with the post game interviews, the reason for giving AJ & Stanton a day off is for the long term - a day here & there as opposed to a month or more on the IL - whether it works or not will be determined come October. the sitting is not falling ion the manager but the computer geeks.

Today there reviews & people who never set foot on a baseball field making decisions with no human factor invovled. Like (No I don't) or not - it's becoming the way of most sports.
