Whoever is running the ball/strike count on the score bug is drunk.

Carter for 3rd in lineup


I don't know. I actually kind of like our 9 hitter being such a tough out.


Surely there will be regression to the mean at some point, but Carter so far has an OPS above 1000 as a big leaguer. At this point, Bochy is an idiot for not finding a way to move him up in the lineup.

Being higher in the lineup means more at bats per game and also likely more at bats with traffic on the bases.

Been saying since his first start, he needs to bat leadoff and drop everyone else down 1.

Again, you don't take a 21 year old that has done amazing since being called up unexpectedly and thrust him into the leadoff position.

Completely unnecessary and the risk isn't near the reward.

It's something you possibly consider in the offseason.

Evan Carter….we got a good one boys!!!! What a beast!
Radio said yesterday's game made EC the youngest player to reach base safely in his 1st 4 PostSeason ABs.

Dylan Carlson of St. Louis was previous holder. He was 21.34? Almost a full year older.

Yep. 9th is exactly where he needs to be. Protection behind him, but not nearly as much pressure.

He's protected and still a table setter for Semien and Seager.

Lowe and Grossman get it done on weak stuff while Garcia out on a rope. It all comes back around for you in the end.

But, you are also giving your #1 spot an AB with runners on... and you protect EC with Semien behind him. Semien has 100RBI as a leadoff hitter.

He'd literally have the same protection batting leadoff….

What amazing is Carter is probably the second best 21 year old prospect in our system.
