What about the extended time when he was hitting .480 with RISP?

I get it, he’s in the toilet now but he wasn’t before. So what now? Cut him? Or are you just saying to bat him 8th?
 

 

He's been in the toilet for most of the season from a power perspective as his slugging percentage of roughly .400 indicates. I said he shouldn't be batting cleanup for this team until his strength is proven to be back. The kind of injury he suffered is notorious for sapping a hitter's strength. He got hot for about a 15 game spell and showed a little pop, and I was mocked for the premise that the dude should be batting down the lineup in exchange for anyone else hitting cleanup. So I'm just giving it the old follow-up. 

From a mathematical perspective, and you know this, a .480 BA is not even vaguely within the range of sustainable, much less in high leverage. The probability of Yuli Gurriel having a Tommy Herr season from 1985 is basically zero, which is what this last month is proving.

I don't understand why we don't put Kemp in the leadoff position until Altuve and Correa get back. Batting Bregman 3 and Springer 4 would change the entire dynamic of the lineup IMO. 

 

1. Kemp 2B

2. Reddick RF

3. Bregman 3B

4. Springer CF

5. Gurriel 1B

6. Gattis DH

7. Gonzales SS

8. Stassi C

9. Tucker LF

 

That would be my lineup for RHP at least. I don't get what Hinch was doing the last few games with the lineup. It's easy to pitch around our few dangerous hitters to get to our AAA rejects. 

White should play over Marwin, he really sucks. Put Yuli at 3rd and Bregman at SS.

 

and the fucking shift took out George.

yuli has been awful as of late.  that said, i bet there's lots of fun to be had looking at some of our hitters last 30-40 ab.  it's been a true team effort since before the break.

Anyone have a chicken we can sacrafice

I tried to chop one's head off, but ended up striking out twice and then weakly grounded to 2nd on my final attempt.

Couple weeks ago: “We have the ASG MVP, the WS MVP and the AL MVP! We’re historically amazing!” 

Tonight: “Two of those three guys are out, and the other one’s in a major slump. But at least our promising young SS is...uh, never mind.”

Anyone wanting to move Kemp up will get no argument here

looks like we'll get our wish for a game or two

There’s the spark we need. I mean, as long as we go on to score a week’s worth of runs in the remaining innings. A 2-0 win would look good.

At least we had base runners to leave on base that inning?

We are back?

If we had Mario Mendoza on the bench, I’d have PH him in that inning. Of course, if we had Mario Mendoza, I’d have had him batting in the 3 hole to start with.

Looking like we will end this week in 2nd place.

But we'll be first in run differential
