Urquidy is due for a strong start. Maybe we see Correa back in the leadoff spot where he belongs.

Or Altuve is back and we put Garcia back on the bench... if Altuve has been activated, I would hope he is in the lineup. I wish they'd send Garcia and Toro both to the alternate site and bring up Stubbs when they activate Jose. Even with Jose back, I wish Dusty would keep Correa in the leadoff spot, but, he won't because he is too dense to make changes. Carlos was more like George in the leadoff spot and the team responded. Jose needs to be down around #6 since Brantley is suited for the #2 spot. I'd try this: Correa SS Brantley LF Bregman 3B ( I would not object to Jose hitting here and moving Alex to the 6 position) Alvarez DH Gurriel 1B Altuve 2B Tucker RF McCormick CF Castro C |

I have no problem with Altuve hitting second and Brantley third. I just want him to leave Carlos leading off, which he is too dumb to do. He will put Jose right back in the leadoff spot because he hates to change. He saw that Correa leading off paid dividends. He should leave him there. If I had to bet, I'd bet the idiot puts Jose right back in the leadoff spot. I do want McCormick in there instead of Straw. |

It just didn't make sense replacing an all-star with Straw when we were having success. |

I like Carlos there because he has the capability of jump-starting the offense the way Springer could. Altuve is too impatient to leadoff. He goes up there with no plate discipline and hacks away at anything he sees. He is NOT what we need leading off. |

My point is that with Correa leading off, we won all three games, and put up 29 runs in the process. Baker "rest" Carlos yesterday and puts Straw back in the leadoff spot and we score TWO, both on Gurriel's home run. Now, we have Jose back and that is good. I don't like to change lineups that are getting the job done........we looked great with Carlos leading off so why change it......it's just not a smart move. |

Yeah but you can't say one player in a different spot is the total difference between a win and a loss. |
