The point was that, with Polanco out, Jaso was in the OF and batting 4th. Why not give those ABs to Osuna rather than Jaso?


Oh. Jaso is left handed and hits right-handed pitching better. It is pretty much a platoon, pretty obvious. Osuna is not hitting at all. His hot streak is over.

How do you know he hasn't started another hot streak? He hit a homer in his last at bat.

I don't, but before that HR he had three hits in the month of May.



Jaso was 2 for his last 7 before last night. And had a hit last night. He might be heating up too.

I don't know how Hurdle can actually write Jaso's name down on the lineup card and hit him 4th and actually feel like he is making the right decision in doing so. I just don't get it.

I don't either, but not sure what else he can do?



Frazier LF

Harrison 2B

Freese 3B

Bell 1B

Polanco RF (Jaso / Osuna)

McCutchen CF

Cervelli C

Mercer SS



This would be my line up. So sad, but oh well.

I like this lineup for at least the short term.
