It'd be different if he actually hit the ball hard and went 0-10. Instead, he's popping up and striking out on pitches out of the zone. Like Jake said, he's not ready.
I'm all for letting him play as long as Gordon can't, but he shouldn't be hitting second, one of the most important spots in the lineup. I'm surprised we've scored 12 runs so far with a big black hole in the 2 spot.
It's 2 games. Every player in the major leagues has looked like crap for 2 straight games. He could be pressing and one hit could turn that around. I obviously don't know that but you can't tell me he's not ready because of 2 games.
