I know there's a wide range of opinions on Hechavarria, but while he's hot and Yelich is out or struggling, does anyone else think it makes more sense to bat Hech 9th? I don't think he needs to be moved to the top of the order, but a lot of opportunities could be wasted with the pitcher behind him. If he is able to continue getting on base, it would create more chances for the top of the order to drive in runs and string together more rallies. Just my $.02.

 

 

I think he should bat 9th, but that ain't Red's style

 

 

Pitcher bats 9th. Always.

 

 

I like the idea @RossInfoMan

If Ass-Clown is playing, no.

 

 

That batting the pitcher 8th gimmick is hilarious.

 

 

Lets not get carried away and adjust the whole structure of the lineup for Adeiny Hechavarria for goodness sake!

 

 

It's just switching two guys in the order.

 

 

There is actually a benefit to it, albeit quite small:

I want to down vote this post because it upsets me, but I know you're just stating facts.

 

Hooray for more half baseball players!

 

 

Bring on the DH.
