Manager Mike Shildt finally pulled the trigger on the move I have been clamoring for when he moved Matt Carpenter out of the leadoff spot and Dexter Fowler into it. Carpenter has notoriously struggled to hit anywhere besides the top of the order, which seemed to be the reason for the reluctance to make the move. So, naturally, Carp got hot and raised his average 25 points after being dropped to fifth in the order, and the wheels fell off of Fowler who is hitless in 11 plate appearances in the leadoff spot.
