CHICAGO – In the swirling sargassum that is modern-day lineup construction, the Rangers have been a veritable bay of tranquility. Among the fewest lineups in...
“He’s just a winning type of player,” Bochy said of his willingness to put a rookie in the No. 3 spot. “He’s good in big situations for a rookie. He’s got a calmness to him, but plays with a lot of controlled energy.”
Bochy’s planning may have been spurred by the White Sox’s decision to go with a lefty opener – Tanner Banks – on Monday. The counter: swap Jung and Lowe around. To be honest, Bochy had also thought about simply swapping Lowe and García. It probably speaks to how much he thinks of the rookie’s hitting and plate discipline to move Jung into an even higher-profile spot. The result: The Rangers had a much more balanced lineup.
This season the Rangers had used 53 lineups in their first 71 games. Only Cleveland, with 52, had used fewer. And the top four spots were in permanent ink. Marcus Semien has hit leadoff in all 72 games,in the 41 he’s started , Lowe third in 70 of the first 71 and García fourth in the 69 he’s started. Jung had hit fifth in 64 of his 67 previous starts, batting fourth in the three games García didn’t start.
In the first, it worked like a charm. After there were two outs, Jung lined a 1-1 changeup into left, then scored from first when García followed with a double. In the third, with two outs, he yanked a 1-2 slider that broke down and in into the left-field seats.
