Shocker.

I feel like that was the consensus.

I wanted Nico Horner to lead off, but I think you guys win.

Alex Bregman batting second.

He's at third base, of course.

Ian Happ batting third and left.

Pete Crowe Armstrong

is batting cleanup.

He's in center.

Nico Horner is next.

Then it is Carson Kelly.

Moises Ballesteros at DH.

Dansby Swanson batting eighth.

And then in right field, it is Matt Shaw batting ninth.

Well, and I think that that's a big part of this.

That's where I thought he would end up batting in this lineup.

But there was a quote Jed Hoyer gave to The Athletic, our friends Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney, talking about how he felt PCA had dealt with what happened last year and that the hot start combined with his youth was a lot to put on him and those expectations he think affected him.

So because of that, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a different version of him because that's what the general manager thinks he's going to see.

You know, the other part of this, too, is we heard Jed Hoyer talk to Mully and Haw about...

What I mentioned earlier, just how much the pitching wearing down at the end of the season really affected them.
