He'll start again today because DVH can't help himself

I dunno, DVH can be stubborn but I think he’s been wanting someone else to work themselves into that 3rd OF spot with Holt and Diggs.

Wilmsmeyer has been pinch hit for a lot this season. It’s obvious that DVH doesn’t trust him in any sort of pressure situation at the plate. Unlike Bolton and Rowland last year who played arguably the two most critical positions and had no one to back them up, his position is easier to replace defensively.

I’m not a believer in Lovich, but he is slashing .267 / .450 / .457 in SEC play, whereas Wilmsmeyer is slashing .158 / .250 / .175, which is historically low and makes John Bolton’s slash line last year look like 2003 Barry Bonds by comparison.
