Stats eliminate start for Reimold
Just a quick note before I start ordering off the menu (yes, dinner plans tonight):
Nolan Reimold is fine physically. His exclusion from tonight's lineup, after he homered last night, is based on statistics.
Reimold is 1-for-13 lifetime against Toronto left-hander Ricky Romero.
Also, left-handers are hitting .285 lifetime against Romero. Right-handers are batting .242.
Felix Pie gets the start. Reimold gets a seat on the bench.
Don't shoot the messenger.
