i don't necessarily have an issue with this lineup.  our lineup is always a little wonky vs lefties.  plus, tuve is out, and obviously today is breg's turn to dh so it's musical chairs around the infield.

but in similarly small sample sizes vs lefties:

reddick (18ab) .278/.316/.500

white (29ab) .241/.353/.276

just an observation, because reddick was always the guy who couldn't hit lefties.  i would love to see him exposed to more lefties while he's seeing the ball as well as he is, and boyd isn't overpowering, but he's having a really nice season.  maybe reddick can give us a solid ph appearance off their middling bullpen. 

either way, we need to see some pitches, otherwise we're stuck with boyd for 7+ innings.

let's go bp!

jake and kemp are a HUGE part of the success formula for this team 

adding brantley allowed yuli to hit 6th (the highest he should be hitting) and reddick to hit 7th (which is awesome, considering how well he's played this year).

injuries clouded things last year, but this is more how it should be.

i would even consider hitting reddick 2nd (like the old days) against righties until altuve is back.  stretch out the lineup more.
