Dating back to when Robin Ventura invited him on board to serve as bench coach, Mark Parent has often stepped up to serve as the coaching staff's enforcer. In the past, it's taken forms such as dissertations on retaliation and a pregame ejection.
Saturday, with Parent standing in for Ventura, the disciplinarian bent manifested itself on the lineup card. J.B. Shuck took Adam Eaton's spot in center field and at the top of the order. The usual reasons couldn't be drawn, as Eaton had a two-hit game at the plate on Friday, and success in the past against Tampa starter Chris Archer.
