    Do we just fear ruining Jake if we put him higher in the lineup?

    iirc, they tried that with him last year and his numbers were pretty bad.

    or perhaps i just have selective memories. iono

    Having him bat after the two guys who have been consistently getting on base this season is really stupid. Just adds extra pressure when he’s already struggling.

    Having both Altuve and Walker behind them is beyond stupid though.

    That was some really nice pitching by Gordon.

    Keep doing that.

    Huge huge bonus if we can get 7 strong from Gordon.

    That sounds familiar.

    And it's not like you want 3 terrible hitters in the bottom 3rd of the order.

    So i do get it.

    He’s been so much better this season though and Altuve looks awful. We moved Pena up and it’s worked out so I’d like to try putting him 2nd for a week or two just to see what happens. Have Paredes hit 3rd and move Altuve down to 6th or 7th.
