Bottom of the 8th
We've all heard the expression 'You could tell it was a home run by
the sound of the bat hitting the ball." Well I'd always thought I knew
what that meant, in fact I was sure I heard it, but until I heard the
sound of Encarnacion's bat hitting the ball squarely for the third HR of
the 8th inning, I hadn't heard that most distinctive of sounds. Clear
like the ring of a bell, it had a tone I've never heard before - like an
exceptionally load snap of the fingers.
I was busy at the keyboard and I didn't even look up, I just typed in the 'HR' in the little box... .
Post Game
Now I'm not saying any of the following is well thought out but two things:
1. Eric Thames
2. Rajia Davis
Eric Thames is looking very comfortable in a major league uniform, and hitting the ball more often now with what looks like great authority - well it changes everything. Eric Thames is a young man who looks and caries himself a lot older than he is, but without this new metric piling all kinds of expectation on him, what about this line-up:
1. C Patterson LF
2. R Davis CF
3. E Thames RF
4. J Bautista 3B
5. A Lind 1B
6. J Arencibia C
7. E Encarnacion DH
8. A Hill 2B
9. J McDonald SS
Rajia Davis' play today, hitting the ball away, plus a fine at-bat in the 8th, shows he wants to hit higher in the order and 'Rickey Henderson' this League, and by the looks of it he could - he stole with impunity on the Phillies battery today.

Putting him 2nd gives him the opportunity to get some at bats in lad-off type situations and moving Bautista down to the 4 stop, and Thames up to the 3 spot takes the pressure off the top of the order and adds to the possibility of a big inning and more team RBI.
