Get StartedUpton with another hit.
We knew this is what we were getting with him, he's one of the streakiest players out there, watch, he'll hit .390 the next 5 weeks.
I didn't understand resting Maybin and McCann when both have been hitting well of late. It all worked out as you said, but his decision making is puzzling sometimes. Ride the guys who are cold as ice, then sit them once they heat up. I don't get it.Somehow Capt. Parmenter managed to not get in the way of this team even though it's exactly what he was trying to do and he even failed at that. Thankfully Smoak made the wrong play after Iglesias bunted to the wrong side of the field and we avoided the travesty of loading the bases for that hitting machine Romine and watching Maybin hit for Cabrera. But hey(!) they won, just as McClellan "won" the battle of Antietam.

Ugh... really?The lineup card I received from mlb.com for the 6-8-16 game has Mike Aviles hitting second.
2016 PA 53 AVG .180 OPB .241 SLG .220 wOBA .212 wRC 25 BB% 5.4 K% 23.2
This guy should be bagging groceries at Harris Teeter and he's hitting second today between Kinsler and Cabrera. Unbelievable. But not, with Capt. Parmenter in command.
OH! And Romine is ALSO in the lineup, hitting 8th.
Ugh... really?
