Dusty is the only manager in the world that would bat Yordan 5th. I cannot believe it is allowed to continue


@texasaggie2015 - PLEASE tell us management sees and realizes this. He CANNOT come back next season.

What Dusty isn't realizing is the only reason Pena was doing well in the postseason is because Alvarez was behind him in the lineup. We all know Tucker is great but he doesn't command the same respect that Yordan does.

If you're going to put Pena at 2, then Alvarez needs to be 3 and tucker 4

Pena needs to be 6th or lower

From what I've been told if they make another deep postseason run it's up to him if he wants to return.

Now, if Dana speaks up, maybe Crane listens.

Montero has absolutely no clue where the ball is going.

I could be misremembering, but I thought they did a decent study on this and came to the conclusion that order doesn't make that much of a difference

Yes, but Yordan is the scarier hitter if I'm an opposing pitcher. Re-read my post, I said tucker is great

If you're an opposing pitcher and you only got to circle one guy on the Astros lineup to avoid at all costs, it's Yordan

It doesn't make a huge difference but it makes a difference. Even if it's as simple as better players getting more chances.

The only difference it really should make is maximizing the number of ABs for your best hitters.

Montero pitching around Torres to get to Stanton. Interesting strategy.

Thanks - unfortunately I was afraid of that. If we make it to another ALCS I think he stays.

Until Tucker does what Yordan did last postseason, they won't be equal. Just saying.

Equal no, but not a wide margin either. Ted is one of the top 10 hitters in the AL imo. Guess my Point is tucker provides plenty of protection to anyone in front of him imo

Completely ****ing stupid that arguably the best hitter in baseball is batting fifth in a lineup where a guy who isn't even hitting .240 gets more at bats in a game. Completely ****ing stupid.

I agree that Yordan is the better hitter. But I think we, as fans, sometimes let big moments effect the way we see a player as a whole. Peña for example.
