Wait I just realized something. Not trying to justify John's decision here, but in this last stretch that Babe has been in the lineup everyday, the Jays haven't faced a single high-velo RHP starter during that time. I guess John is still chickening out when it comes to playing Babe vs high-velo RHP starters. Which is weird because Biggio also sucks against high-velo RHP starters, however it seems Medina has much worse splits vs lefties than righties, so that could be John's warped reasoning there.
