There's some really solid baseball theory (that goes against conventional wisdom) that suggests your #3 hitter shouldn't be one of your best hitters. Your #2 hitter should be your best.
The Card's lineup construction seems to reflect that approach.

Small Church Survey Series: The Small Church is Small & That's Normal
Most of the small churches in USA & Canada are smaller than the accepted average. That's not a problem. It's normal.
This is the kind of thing I've been doing over at Sacred & Small since leaving Viva El Birdos.
It's not baseball. But it's still statistical analysis! Maybe I need to develop some verison of xwOBACON for church revitalization?

Ok, I am here. I will warn you that if I stick around, this will not be all Cardinals stuff.
I apologize in advance for my pastoral leadership content, but thatโs what I really do. Writing for VEB was just kicks & grins.
Expect mostly Cards content and other stuff you Cards fans can ignore.
