The team is 27 games in. Essentially a month of the season. I suppose you could say the hotter Manny or Trumbo gets, the more pitches Chris will see to hit. My concerns are he simply isn't squaring up and driving the balls when he does make contact. I get slumps, but this has been prolonged (6) RBI and (3) HR's while striking out 43% of the time. Any thoughts as to what the team or he could do. You wouldn't flip him with Schoop in the lineup would you? 6th or 7th? Jonathan known for not always making contact has only struck out 19% of the time. Not great but the balls are going in play.. I don't think the sky is falling, since chris contributes in other ways. But batting him 4th or 5th when he isn't making contact is magnified when other players are driving the ball yet...
