Fire the nerds.The manager and his staff/coaches make all the decisions
Vladdy bats 3rd ahead of Bo.
This worked all of last year,and before that.
Schneider has locked himself into Vladdy being 2 in the lineup.
Switch Bo,and Espinals defensive positions,and bat Espinal near the bottom of the lineup.
When Springer is in,lead him off,and Bo bats 2,Vladdy 3.Merriweather or Tapia bats 9th most of the time,depending if Springer needs a day off.Bench TeOscar for a game or 2.His bat is inconsistent plus he could use more icing on his foot,and an icepack for his brain for a day or two.Bat Kirk or Guriel,or TeOscar after Vladdy,and see how it works.
Pitchers ...flip a coin.
