Question

Why does aaron miles bat 9th when he has a .320 batting average?

Answer 1

So Pujols has at least the possibility of having more men on base for him.

Answer 2

Because Tony LaRussa wants everyone to notice him. He has the biggest ego in all of pro sports. I think he originally came up with that idea after consuming lots of beer and trying to drive himself home.

Answer 3

like ay caramba said,

tony la rusa has a guy batting after the pitcher and he's like a leadoff hitter.

Im not an expert on the cards, but i think he does that cuz he has the 2 and 3 batters with a ton of power

Answer 4

Cause Tony wants as many players on base for Pujols as he can get. 2nd leadoff man.

Answer 5

because he is 2nd leadoff

Tony Larussa has a system where the pitcher bats 8th so the 9th batter bats as a "2nd leadoff" leading to more runs
