"He's been one of our more reliable hitters," Fiscus said in an off-day interview. "This is the postseason. Clean sheet of paper. Blank slate. Like always, I'm working with my staff to optimize performance. And I'm a free-minded girl. There are no bad ideas as long as it gets us to that happy place."
Martinez has been a pleasant surprise for the team all year long.
His .324/.358/.516 Slash has come with 20 double s and nine home runs. His versatility has shown in the fact that he has hit in literally every single slot of the order this year, as well as given respectable defense at every position around the infield. He's hit both right-handed and left-handed pitching, making him hard to game plan against.
Word that he might be given a higher profile during the postseason came as welcome news to several fans, and has prop bets associated with his performance on the rise. "We need to see him get 20 at bats," said Maeve Williams, a cashier at Forever Land Resorts. "I think if that happens we might be seeing a longer run in the Silly Postseason Exhibition Tournament. And that's always fun. I'd love to see even more people coming to spend their money at the atoll. More wins is more good!"
Martinez himself has been a little more reserved. "It's been my dream to play in the Silly Postseason Exhibition Tournament. I'm just happy to be here, and I hope I can help the team win some games."
