    Tucker in the two hole is to split up the right handed batters. Are you guys really going to argue to move Bregman up the lineup when in four games (or is it three?) he still is searching for his first hit?

    Nope. Hinch is putting the line up together as he sees best.

    Yes. I think the 2 hole is more suited to Bregman. I realize he doesn't have a hit yet. Still think Tucker is better down in the lineup.

    Not always comforting.

    I'm going to argue that the principle of putting rookies at the bottom of the lineup around crappy hitters is a bad idea.

    Hasn't he mainly been hitting 6th though

    That's not exactly the bottom of the order

    Felt like Altuve should've scored on that hit. I'd have sent him anyway, must've been more chance of an errant throw than a Rasmus RBI

    So obvious. Should've sent Altuve, our lineup basically ends at the cleanup spot

    Rasmus needs to go on the 60 day DL with the ear cist thing. We need the extra roster spot, and he's essentially damaged goods now. Thank God its a one year contract.

    So far, so good for Fiers. He's got to start getting some consistent outings in a row. We need him.
