How good are the replay guys calculating the draft a baseball causes to baggy pants?

I go put the kid to bed and come back to Yordan basically taunting TED. Telling him this is how you leave the park dead center.

Damnit Dusty. Why did you think it was a good idea to put 3 lefties within 4 spots in the order? 100% any time we see a reliever during that part of the line-up Cora is putting in a lefty.
Damnit Dusty! Only 7 runs in the first 4 innings?

You don't actually think Dusty's line up had anything to do with this outburst right? We have a bunch of good hitters. They're going to go off at times. The lineup only matters so much. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do the right things when constructing it.

Nah bro. I'm going to get a lift in. I'll be watching on my phone. Keep up the good work.

I dont think the lefty/lefty matchups matter as much anymore in modern day baseball. I like Yordan Brantley and Tucker all hitting near each other in the lineup because they are so good you can't take a pitch off against them.

I watched Bregman's gidp, take my daughter upstairs to the bathtub, come back down and see Yordan yucking it up in the dugout as the talk about his bomb. MF

And you can when they're around Yuli, Bregman, Correa, & Altuve?

The 3 batter rule greatly hurts the specialists in the bullpen. But when you stack righties with righties and lefties with lefties you give an opportunity to take advantage up match ups. It's not the end of the world. It's just small things like this you should be doing as a professional manager.

Right now all 3 of them have an extra base hit and we are winning 7-1. I'm fine with it until it proves to be hurting us. So far it has been a positive

Of course.

Take Adam Otto for example. If it's a tight game and we have the top of the lineup up, he holds righties to godlike .346 OPS. He's at an advantage if he gets Altuve-Correa-Bregman. But he's a bum's bum when facing lefties. .945 OPS. If any of our lefties would be sandwiched between them, then the easy 1-2-3 is a lot less likely.

You're looking at a 2 inning sample in a 1500 inning season.

The Astros are at 18.1%, they are the only team under 21%, and there are a total of 4 teams under the MLB average...they are also hitting .268, MLB average is .237, truly remarkable.

Maybe there's a correlation with pitchers using better goop?

He started out ice ice cold.

From May 12
.275 Avg
.367 Obp
.435 Slg
.802 Ops

June Only
.467 Avg
.529 Obp
.667 Slg
1.196 Ops

He's trending the right way. It was over 2 years since he'd played ball in a real league. Now he's playing at a higher level than he ever has before. Some had their expectations way too high in the short term.
Speaking of trending the right way
