Thats when Cruz is at his best, going with the pitch and not overswinging

When he starts trying to pull everything he gets in trouble

I hate when people say something like this. What do you mean what do u want wash to do about it? He's the manager, that's his job....to find things that work and make a change if necessary. I mean, whatever he does can't make josh any worse.

So moving Josh down in the order magically fixes what is going on in his head?
...cause that's what it sounds like you're trying to sell to everyone.
So he moves Josh down to 5... Josh still struggles. Then what? Bench him? Yeah, that'll help him figure it out.

Face it, the only one that can "do anything" about what is going on with Josh....is Josh. Ron can adjust a lineup card and look for flaws in his swing (which they've all done btw). That's all the manager can do.

Yeah, he's so strong he doesn't have to try to pull everything. If he just stayed the other way he'd still probably hit 25+ homers in our park.

Sometimes just changing things up makes a difference, happens ALL THE TIME in baseball, dropping a guy in the order to give him different looks and different positions and have different guys hit behind you

Seemed to work in 2010 anyway

True. However, he's missing fastballs down the middle of the plate.

I doubt a lineup change would help him much. Its all mental at this point.

Well its time to change something, or sit him and have him hit some live batting practice for couple days, or get his damn eyes checked

I know. At this point Josh is hurting the team. Whats mind boggling is that he is struggling against righties that he has hit in the past
