Doing the same thing over and over, hoping for a different result.
This is the Angels of 2013 so far. This is Mike Scioscia.
Pujols is hurting. Let's continue to play him, and hope the injury gets better.
Hamilton is slumping. Let's continue to play him at cleanup, and hope he breaks out of his slump.
Streaks and slumps don't last forever in baseball. Some are longer than others, see Trumbo. But when you are streaking, you ride them like Barbaro.
Right now, you got players on this team that are streaking. And yet, the hardnosed bullheadedness continues to bookend them with players that are slumping. This will do nothing for the team, except bring the team down.
It's time for a change. Put the guys that can feed off each other in a group. Lineup should read:
1. Bourjos
2. Kendrick
3. Trout
4. Trumbo
5. Jimenez
6. Pujols (If he's going to be treated insanely)
7. Iannetta (Just because while he should be hitting higher
8. Hamilton
9. Harris
1-5 mainly are the guys that are hot right now. Put them together, and let them score. And maybe, just maybe, their streak will become contagious, and you can have the "ideal" lineup.
