Harris 2 for his last 23. Good for an early Ozunaesque .087 average.
Might not be a bad idea to let Hilliard spell him for 3 games or so then see if that sort of resets Harris. If not, a trip to the minors to make adjustments may be necessary.

2 down but they've had trouble grtting that last out with opponents having runners in scoring position.

Better at bats and results for Olson of late. K rate a much more realistic and respectable 25% over his last 24 at bats. Just drew another walk.

Starting to feel badly for Harris.

May be his last inning, his pitches are climbing up the zone a bit.

Starting to feel badly for Harris. "Hey Mike, sorry your manager is a dumbass who can't recognize that you need a day off" This thing with Harris has been an organizational philosophy since the Bobby Cox era started. Certain guys are anointed as "the guy" and that guy plays every day no matter what, and will never be pinch hit for. They want that guy to know he's "the guy." They recognize that for some players they'll relax and not press if they know they have the job no matter. Interestingly though, there are other guys who are not "the guy" and never will be. For some reason showing that confidence in that guy isn't important. Getting steady ABs is not important whatsoever for those who are not "the guy." There's a long list of examples.
The Rosario and Harris situation is the example right now. Harris is "the guy" at his position and Rosario is not "the guy" because Snitker erroneously thinks he can't hit LHP. We will bench Rosario against LHP starters and pinch hit for Rosario against LHP but never dream of doing it for Harris, we don't want to risk damaging Harris's confidence. To hell with Rosario's confidence. Harris is where Pillar should be getting ABs, not in place of Rosario, but it ain't never gonna happen!
