Peña in the 2-hole doesn't really make a lot of sense on paper, but maybe what TK and Blummer said about Yordan behind him gives him more pitches over the plate has validity.

All I know is I don't expect him to be out of the 2-hole much this season.

Altuve 13 seasons

But on paper it does.

They showed us last night that his OPS doubles when he's in the 2 hole.

He shouldn't leave that spot again.

If the Dodgers can't fix you, then you know something is seriously wrong.

The doubled OPS is a result.

His weaknesses are still the same whether he's batting 2nd or 6th. His not a prototypical 2-hole hitter on paper, which is my point. It doesn't make sense why his OPS doubles batting 2nd as opposed to 6th when you really think about it. That's a huge swing.

For example, I would expect Altuve and Yordan hit hit roughly the same anywhere in the lineup.

Should have been about 10 less pitches. Should have rung him up on the slider on the inside corner on 1-2.

I guess the game plan for tonight is to swing at everything.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Espada should be the manager NOW. If he doesn't get the job very soon, someone is going to come & take him from us.

It doubles because pitchers aren't going to spin sliders a foot outside and risk walking JP in front of Yordan. They are much more fine with their pitches.


I get that.

I'm saying it doesn't make sense on paper, when you look at the hitter he is, that you would put him in the 2-hole.

That's all I was saying.
