It was Blind Squirrel-Broken Clock Promo Night in Seattle, as David Murphy was slotted into leadoff, something he had done in only 12 other games in his MLB life. And it worked!
Get used to it. Mike Scioscia put David Murphy into the leadoff spot last night, mostly based on the idea that Murphy has more RBI's against Felix Hernandez than anybody else in Major League Baseball. The fact that in his entire career Murphy had only batted leadoff in 12 other games. 18 total Plate Appearances. 13 total at-bats. 4 career hits.
