But the thing I can't help but question is? Wouldn't consistency - only batting LH, help him gain confidence and learn how to handle lefty pitchers better if he quit convoluting the picture? I feel one of his bigger issues at the plate is just simply trying too hard.

And here I go again. I also believe playing one position and batting in one spot would help. He's SS batting 7th today, 3B batting 4th tomorrow, DH batting 9th next day.

I can't and never will be onboard with Bell's musical lineup crud. Guys can't get comfortable.

Yea, Bell's managing style is very unusual to me. I'm used to a more traditional approach where most guys have 1 position except in emergencies (barring swiss army knife players like Kyle Farmer), and they bat in, generally, the same spot each night.

But hey, we're 10 games out from the end of the season and in contention for a playoff spot at least 1 to 2 years before anyone could have imagined us being here, so maybe we're the weird ones haha.
