Really? You think my suggestion of moving him down in the lineup is an over reaction? Again, I look at it as an adjustment to a player that has been struggling during the whole post season. Springer's had some really bad at bats and his team is down 0-1. I agree it was Kershaw last night and that is a different level. However, if I'm AJ Hinch I'm really thinking hard about what I can do to get this offense jump started in some way. Springer isn;t the only one struggling (although he is batting leadoff) and I think they were fortunate to walk away with a game 5 (home filed win) against the Yankees. Adjustments are needed against the Dodgers. Whether or not that is Springer moving down in the lineup or not, I'm not sure. However it is worthy of consideration to get the Astros competive. JMO.
Springer is not moving down. No matter what. He has been terrible this postseason, but he is not moving out of lead-off.
Looks like if a pitcher throws up and in, he could get hit in his right ear.
