I think it's time to slide him out of the leadoff slot. Ender's coming back on, we need to take a little pressure off the kids. A temporary lineup as follows may be good until one of Albies/Acuna breaks out of it and can go back to 2nd in the order.
1. CF (L) Inciarte 2. 1B (L) Freeman 3. RF (L) Markakis 4. C (R) Suzuki/Flowers 5. 3B (S) Flaherty / Bautista 6. 2B (S) Albies 7. LF (R) Acuna 8. SS (S) Camargo

That 3-4-5 you have there is uber ugly to me.

Agreed. 1. Why move your best hitter away from the ideal spot for RBIs? 2 Albies is rakeing. Why mess with what's working? 3. Markakis in the 3 hole? No, no, dear God no! 4. You could move Acuna but it seems premature to me. The kid was smashing baseballs last week. Moving him down in the order seems trigger happy.

Ender Ozzie Freddie Neck Flozuki Acuna Camargo/Swanson Flaherty P
That's about all I would do... basically what it was when we first called Acuna up, if I'm not mistaken

Stop trying to move Ozzie. Dude is our second best hitter and stays. He will be fine. Ender is good where he is or about around there.

I'm more in the give-em-a-day-off-once-in-a-while school of thought than making lineup changes. Not only does that allow the regulars a breather, but it keeps the bench sharp.

Don't you fear that moving Acuna now could hurt his confidence? Normally when you move a guy with his talented up in the order you leave him there unless the slump seems to be effecting his confidence. 2. Why Flaherty? Don't you think Swanson and Camargo makes more sense? If you want to win now Bats makes more sense. If you want to build for the future Camargo makes more sense. Flaherty is a bench bat. Plain and simple.

Plain and simple. I don't see that working out so well right now. Camargo had an OPS 100 points higher than Bautista last year and is blowing him away so far this season even though Johan is struggling.

I just see no reason to add Flaherty back to the starting lineup. I think our management did a great job of moving on before the wheels fell off.

Camargo .196/.339/.392 Bautista. .160/.276/.320
Flaherty .296/.389/.408
Personally, I would let Flaherty lose the job first

You could move Acuna but it seems premature to me. The kid was smashing baseballs last week. Moving him down in the order seems trigger happy. I'm pretty certain the analytical consensus is #2 is the most important spot in the order, which is why you've seen Trout, Bryant, Harper etc. move to that slot, even though historically they would hit third. Also, what's wrong with Neck batting 3rd? He's one of the NLs best hitters right now. And why leave Ozzie at leadoff just because we're winning? We've mostly been winning in spite of his offense lately. His May stats are uuuuuugly .245/.254/.475 as I check right now. Of course he had 3 hits today, so maybe that's a start of him breaking out of it. His 4% walk rate needs to improve though.
