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

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
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.
