does anyone think springer lead off vs altuve made the change in play

there seemed to be some mockery about the change (including me myself and I) but strangely the good guys seem to be playing better. a good move? mental ball player stuff? slump buster? slump over?

It worked so it was good. I don't recall any mockery.

This followed that. Therefore, that caused this.

Springer played in 102 games last season (1 as a PH).  Of those 101 starts, he led off in almost half (46) of those games.  So, I don't see why it would be a surprise that Hinch would try him leading off again.

CJ, on your tombstone it's going to say "post hoc ergo propter hoc."

Yes sir, but nobody's going to understand what my tombstone means.

I know it is dialogue from a West Wing episode (or at least, I think so), but ...

Lawyers know Latin because Latin is used in legal documents?
Paramecium know Latin because their kingdom, phylum, class, order, etc. are Latin names.
