Does anyone know why the league pitches him up in the zone? It seems obvious to me. He is a great talent.
Ok, I am done with this. Jim will take care of it if this keeps up.

Tulo is hitting .325 in 80 ABs batting 5th this season. .320 in 103 career ABs, which is his highest average anywhere in the order save 9th, where he only had a handful of ABs.

It’s still too early to draw much from the numbers, but it’s clearly the best fit for him and for the team at this time.

Baseball Reference has all the numbers.

0-3 and two k’s I say again 37 rbi’s? 16 hr’s? Put your catcher in there, can’t be any worse. Hawpe has 60 rbi’s how can you compare him to #5 and he is not a 5 hole hitter at this time. he may be when he is selective on the pitches he swings at.
Barmes has 48 rbi’s Atkins has 28. Stewart has 47. check playing time. Am I missing something here?

hey, if you went by last night, its our cleanup guy who should be replaced. Hawpe hit into, what, 2 DPs? Unacceptable.

Maybe, but who would you put in there? I’m not a fan of putting three lefties right together. That makes the opposing manager’s job too easy.

I’d stick with Tulo for now. He had a couple bad ABs last night, but also missed a HR by a couple feet and lined one pretty hard to right center that sliced a little too far. If Helton had tagged and moved up to third on that play, it would have been a productive out.

Maybe someone should rethink our 5 hole hitter 0-4 with 4 left on? 37 rbi’s? 16 hr’s?
Give someone else a chance.
