Amed wouldn't annoy me nearly as much if he wasn't in the 2 hole every day, but it is just this nagging mismanagement that says "we could do better but we're choosing not to", and it's even WAY worse for what he's doing to the points that someone like
@Out of the Rafters at the Q brought up about service time and development, etc. I know where he hits in the order isn't even THAT big of a deal, it just is like a pet peeve nagging at me.
I'm one of the most fine with Straw in the lineup here, but Straw and Gallagher back-to-back is just gross. You don't want to be hiding 2 hitters in the bottom of a lineup to have to pinch-hit for late in games or killing any rally early in games. Bo being in the lineup fixes the Straw problem quite a bit IMO. Especially if you have more of a DH quality OF on the bench like an OGonz, you can make an easy swap and call it a day. But once you pinch hit Straw you can't pinch hit for Gallagher so it effs everything up. And there's way too much reluctance to pinch hit for Straw as it stands now.
