Hale is more the multiple inning guy. Not a big deal either way.

It's OVER 5,000!
No doubt BJ has been hitting better in the leadoff spot. Will it last? Who knows. But his projections for the rest of the year look like (just using counting stats):
20 2Bs, 9 3Bs, 13 HRs, 26 SBs.
Now the .214 average is awful, but overall it's at least much better than last year.
And he at least has a positive WAR this year.

If he can hover around .220 and continue to swipe bases...that's a win.

You don't "waste" him. You get him easy work and keep your late inning guy sharp. Relievers like to pitch as regularly as possible.
And Hale is a multiple innings guy who has recently been stretched out. Using him for one inning in a blowout game would indeed be wasting him.

Who knows? Maybe he can get it up to around .230. That'd be a huge win.

Wanna know something crazy?
We've scored 326 runs.
The Cards have scored 324.

Not to mention we now have the second best record in the NL.

I don't feel it's completely meaningless, but like any stat, it can fluctuate a lot. We were in the negatives not long ago.

Enormous. QED.
TLS with another ho hum 4 trips to the bases. That kid knows how to hit.
As we continue to move on his sample size becomes more and more relevant. Now at a 376 OBP. Benching Uggla for TLS might be the best upgrade any competitor makes all year. Not because TLS is great but UGgla was obviously that bad.

Just 12 pitches, and he hasnt pitched since Tuesday, not a huge deal.

What's more improbable. The 3 defensive errors we had (yes I'm counting a PB as an error) involving 2 of our 3 best defenders, or Freddie Freeman hitting a triple? How does freeman hit a triple without a motorcycle?

Nope..
Nope. Christian will move back to AAA so he can play everyday and keep improving. He doesn't need to be warming the bench. He'll be back with us in September.
