re: Ok I vented last night…let me try a different approach

We are a power hitting team the strikeouts and bad games are going to happen because it’s a feast or famine style. The problem I have is moving too many guys around in the lineup all the time. Power hitters need a steady diet of pitches and that comes with being in similar situations dictated by the protection they get from the hitters around them. You can’t have guys like Doughty, Crews, Dugas and Berry moving around all of the time if you want to maximize the collective threat they bring. I know Berry isn’t moved much but the others are. Lefty/righty doesn’t matter, you can use pieces around them to offset that but the heart of the order needs to be constant if we’re going to squeeze everything we can out of those guys.
