Very undeserving

Inside Pirate Baseball has been glorifying Matt Lawton's performance as leadoff man this year and he's promising us he's only going to get better. No mention of the 4 balls he's misplayed into triples in the outfield this year and the two times he's been doubled off first base on popups because he doesn't look for the ball off the bat on hit and runs. He's cost us just about as many runs as he's created so far this year.
