Gotta love (or hate ) Gabe. Batting Altherr in the three hole after he gets only 2 ab’s in the last week and sporting a .590 OPS.
I’m having a hard time understanding the logic behind some of his moves, as I don’t see how putting struggling hitters in key spots in the batting order is supposed to generate more offense.
