does the manager still name the subs? I thought this changed a couple of years ago.Lonestar_Ag09 said:
The fact our Manager is the All Star Manager there is no reason that we shouldn't have multiple All Stars:
Yordan
Tucker
Altuve
Personally I believe Pena should also be named
JV
Framber

Tucker is such an odd player in regards to recognition.
All the numbers and his performance screams elite but for some odd reason most don't realize it.
Hell sometimes I don't realize how good he is without a reminder. He just quietly puts out elite production yet if you asked 100 MLB fans to name the top OFers in the league he'd be left off most lists.
Your reminder brought to you by….Farmer!
Ted wouldn't be the player he is today without the confidence that Farmer instilled in him when he was struggling back in 2018-19.
I really like Pena batting second in the lineup. Injecting his speed and base running ability forces action. I also like Yordan batting third. I think a starting pitcher should have to face your best hitter in the first inning.
I think a healthy lineup should look like this:
1. Altuve
2. Pena
3. Alvarez
4. Brantley
5. Bregman
6. Tucker
7. Gurriel
8. Meyers
9. Maldonado
I'd really prefer to switch Breggy and Tucker, but I know that would never happen.

We do seem to be getting hot right now, and the schedule favorable coming up.
I could definitely see us shaving 4 games or so off that lead by the break

I get what you're saying, but I would want someone with more power than Brantley batting clean up.
The switch needs to be Tucker and Brantley
Go to hell Rob. Screw ESPN for trying to make this guy look like he is not a raving psychopath hell-bent on destroying the sport and pumping up the big market teams.
The easiest save for the sport is remove blackout restrictions

That's a good call. Good points from both of you. Tucker's three run homer in the cleanup spot in the first inning set the tone for yesterdays game.

Adjusted lineup as follows:
1. Altuve
2. Pena
3. Alvarez
4. Tucker
5. Bregman
6. Brantley

So let it be written, so let it be done.

Flip Meyers and Maldy. That way you have a chance of someone being on base when the lineup turns over.License to Gig said:

Baker said Castro catching Verlander so much lately is a coincidence, usually a day game after night.
— Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) June 29, 2022
This will be Verlander’s 7th start in a day game this year. This will also be the 7th time Castro has caught him. He has a 1.16 ERA with Castro and 3.02 with Maldonado.
Looks like it might need to coincide a little more
But I thought machete wasn't the greatest defensive catcher of all time? I hear he can make JV shoot fireballs from his eyes and lightning from his arse.
Justin Verlander has a higher lifetime batting average (.100) than Castro is hitting this year (.095).EastCoastAgNc said:Baker said Castro catching Verlander so much lately is a coincidence, usually a day game after night.

Why would the commissioner of any sport need a headline saying they don't hate the sport. Why on earth would anyone thing you hate the sport? Because you're that terrible at your job. I never thought there would be a comish I disliked more than Bud.
Yordan's stat paces are going from incredible to legendary.
Through 73 games:
51 HR, 124 RBI, 346 total bases, 109 runs scored.
The home runs would be a club record. Baggy has the record of 47
The RBI would be tied for 8th all-time, 11 off Berkman's record of 136.
His .667 slugging % would be 2nd all-time behind Bagwell's insane .750 in 1994.
His 1.081 OPS is also 2nd all-time behind Bagwell's 1994 - 1.201
So super impressed with our plate discipline. For all his struggles, Bregman has 44 walks and 40 strikeouts this year. Brantley is at 31 BB and 30 K. Tucker and Yordan are both at 36 BB and 45 K.

I despise when media tries to frame executives in sports as the heroes. To hell with them, the players are the ferries.
My observation only but I think I've found the reason for Yuli's struggles at the plate.
Yuli has been taking the out at 1st himself much more frequently than tossing to the covering pitcher it seems. He's just using up to much energy on defense. Make those pitchers cover the bag Yuli and conserve that energy for offense.

Not great JV today
Heck of an AB by this guy
Ump gave Walker that call up and in against Yordan, but didn't give Verlander the same and this AB lumbers on.
Exhale. Whew.
Great cat and mouse by JV to get that last strikeout. I always wonder how in tune he is to setting up the whoel at-bat to get that pitch that he knows is irresistible.
Year and years ago, SI did a brilliant piece with Greg Maddux describing every single pitch he threw for a game, and the how and why of how they picked it. WOuld love to see something like that from JV.

High pitch count for 1st inning. JV needs to get ahead and minimize pitches or he won't make 5 innings.
4 hitters in and it definitely has that "game after a large output" performance feel to it.
Hopefully they show some patience here.

Vintage Yuli 2 out double
I also once read a Tony Gwynn article where he took us inside 2 or 3 At Bats vs Maddux that resulted in hits and how Maddux was pissed by the 3rd one.helloimustbegoing said:
