Hall in a Platoon

Craig Counsell and Bill Hall are now making up an "informal platoon" at third base. Hall's .163/.229/.333 line against RHP in 141 PA convinced Ned Yost to make a change. The "Tidbits" section of the linked article also features a mention of changing "throwing mechanics" with a positive result.

So must for Yost proofing the lineup

Yost must have mis-heard that SNL sketch, and he thinks it’s “Guess what?! I got a fever, and the only prescription… is more Counsell!”

Brew Crew Ball is made with whole grains and contains bits of real grit. It's the perfect dessert for a quarter-century of futility. Serve it ice-cold by itself or over a fresh Yosting. Guaranteed to enhance your sarcasm and sense of irony!
