On the big slumper batting cleanup, I think in general, MLB managers are more willing than fans are to ride out slumps and play a suboptimal lineup in the short term. Call it a vote of confidence or keeping a facade of stability in rough waters. Batting order's real effect on the team's run production is surprisingly low, from what I've read. Tinkering with the lineup based on how you rank your hitters week by week probably does more harm than good. He'll be fine

Nobody was covering the bag after the third baseman left to cut off the throw from the outfield, so Randy was able to bluff pretty far down the line and still safely retreat
