text: It has been mentioned somewhere that Russell Martin threw out a runner trying to steal 2nd.  Congratulations.  At last.  As this was a strike-him-out-throw-him-out double play, and not a straight steal, well, not sure you can actually say Martin gets the credit, but we'll let it slide this time.
  
  See where Bautista came to the plate in the 2nd inning, bases loaded, 1 out, and he drove in a run.  I mean, it was on a weak grounder to 3rd, and he was out @ 1st, but still, this is why that wily old git John Gibbons has him batting lead-off--cuz you want you better hitters coming to the plate more frequently.
  
  Or at least, this is what certain posters have maintained for the past few years, that batting order matters, load up the top of your order with your better hitters, like Bautista.  They get more ABs.
  
  And Bautista, with his .215 or so BA, he definitely deserves to bat high in the order, right?
