    ... 15 for his last 27...4 HRs, 2 doubles, a triple, and 9 RBIs from the leadoff spot.

    Not complaining but with all the times he's getting on base I would have liked to see a few more SBs. He hasn't really attempted any in some time now.

    My hats off to Gardy. A few days ago he slipped into the .250s and has since rebounded magnificently , with some power.
    Very good feeling knowing Gardy is currently a GOOD HITTER and a significant offensive asset to the club.

    He could now be really coming into his own as a solid reliable hitter.
    I guess "all" hitters are entitled to be streaky. Good goin' Gardy.

    That's where I like Brett more than a leadoff, which he's not IMO.....

    Batting 2nd, forces Gardner to look at more pitches, and IMO makes Him a better hitter; (without looking at stat splits), seems more effective in the line up in the 2 Hole..........now I gotta' go do my homework, ah fk it, I'm ditching class.....

    Right now he's as hotter a hitter as I've seen but yeah, his place is 2nd.

    ...fwiw, here's his career spits batting 1st and 2nd;

    Batting 1st ; .267 .343 .422 .765

    Batting 2nd .277 .338 .409 .747

    I didn't realize his stats were that close from the 1 & the 2 hole. which is surprising since I basically know everything.
