Rollins SS Ethier RF Gonzalez 1B Grandal C Turner 2B Crawford LF Guerrero 3B Pederson CF Baker P No freaking idea why DBB thinks Grandal is a middle of the order bat, no reason to give Adrian anything to hit today...
I know it wasn't for me, but here is how I see it... Rollins SS Turner 2B Ethier RF Gonzalez 1B Guerrero 3B Grandal C Crawford LF Pederson CF Baker P
Ethier's #2 fan. Haha pushing AGon down to 4th may take an AB away from him. if you have to move AGon, move him to the 2 spot. that's the sabermetric way. Crawford perhaps in for Rollins in the leadoff spot since he's swinging it better. at least you didn't move Joc like Chiefs is probably guaranteed to do.
Donnie Dum Dum probably stayed up all night thinking about this one. Grandal and Turner 4/5? It's like the days of Hairston hitting cleanup all over again. The nerds should look at this lineup alone and fire him after the game.
Guerrero in the 4 spot..be realistic. they won't even give him the job at 3B. Grandal 8th..could work since his OBP is a nice .353, but it's not as nice as Joc's right now. Joc's getting them through the pitcher's spot consistently. why not take Rollins out of the leadoff spot and place Turner there and follow with Ethier in front of AGon?
Even more Dum Dum questions. Granted, Guerrero should be in there everyday. But the day after he has his best day with the bat you actually SIT Urine? WTF? You sit HK for Turner? I see you wanting Turner to get some playing time and Howie some rest but why not put Alex at SS, sit Rollins shitty ass down and keep Urine at third?
you're focused in on Grandal a bit too much. he's hitting the ball hard and getting on base at a nice clip. Rollins is popping out and hitting tappers. his last AB from last night was nice, but Grandal's hitting the ball with more authority. just unlucky BABIP wise. right now..today: Turner Grandal Gonzo Ethier Crawford Rollins Guerrero Joc Crawford and Rollins serving as sort of secondary leadoff types for Guerrero and Joc to drive in.
jesus h. christ..Uribe is an old man. spoiler alert..Uribe is not going to start an early game after a late game this year. and HK is damn good, but he's not gonna play 162. and Guerrero just started taking grounders at SS a couple days ago. they don't even have an ideal backup SS behind Rollins on the 25 man roster. Guerrero's certainly not it.
rollins ethier adrian joc guerrero grandal turner carl baker keep ethier 2nd, he'll get more fastballs with adrian hitting behind him same with joc/guerrero in all seriousness... guerrero could go 5-for-5 with 5hr and dbb would still sit him tomorrow :mattingly:
Whatever gets Grandal out of the middle of the lineup. Hit him second or hit hit him 7th/8th, not 4th or 5th. Need run producers there, which is exactly why Guerrero should be in that hole.
