If Springer continues to press at the plate, the offense is going to sputter no matter where he bats. He showed that a couple frames ago The farther down the order he bats the fewer at bats he will have to make the offense sputter. |

Kemp added another sprout to your plate. |

The farther down the order he bats the fewer at bats he will have to make the offense sputter. Can we agree that if a guy is batting first in the order and plays the whole game, no other player in the batting order will bat more times in the game than he does? Don’t you want your batters who are producing to be the batters who will get the most chances to bat during the game? Yes? I thought so. Therefore, it does make a difference where he is in the batting order. |

Batting first, the 1st-inning at-bat is the critical one. After that the order doesn't make much of a difference I think Hinch likes the fact that Kemp battles and Springer bats right afterwards. It’s the only reason I can see why he keeps doing it.
is the possibility Tony might start pressing there .. and his approach has been excellent so far |

Springer fouls a lot of pitches off to the right side.
Kemp caught stealing😩

Man, Springer, pull off a hit and run for once. Always whiffing.

My observation all these years is your best 1-hole hitter is someone who jumps on a pitch in the zone. I get what everyone's saying about Kemp batting first, but there
is the possibility Tony might start pressing there .. and his approach has been excellent so far I like Marshall’s idea of Kemp batting #2 behind Altuve better than having him bat #1 in the order. Altuve is too impatient. |
