One more would be nice. I think we'll use more lineup with Caratini & Singleton as we get into the season. Opening series we're going to reward the main dudes and no one needs rest yet.

What's weird about Singleton, is that according to my OOTP25 game, which crunches a ton of data and scouting reports to get their ratings, Singleton actually fares much better against lefties than he does against righties.

I couldn't find minor league split stats, but his pro splits, albeit scattered across 10+ years, bear that out

Here is some of the AAA Data from last year. This along with his big league info from 2023 is probably the most relevant.

360 PA in AAA

Vs RHP / LHP
68.5% / 31.5%
xBA .303 / .198
xSLG .590 / .317
xwOBA .424 / .320
wOBA .429 / .387
EV 92.8 / 90.6
LA 19.8 / 1.6
HH% 52.3 / 46.2
Barrel/BBE 16.1 / 3.8

And while I am looking...how about pitch types (min 5% of pitches)

Pitch - PA - xwOBA
Cutter - 16 - .497
4 Seam - 137 - .420
Sinker - 57 - .412
Slider - 61 - .362
Change Up - 52 - .348
Curveball - 18 - .328

105 PA in MLB

Vs RHP / LHP
75.8% / 24.2%
xBA .193 / .286
xSLG .304 / .549
xwOBA .263 / .406
wOBA .194 / .397
EV 90.2 / 85.2
LA 16.8 / 19.4
HH% 47.1 / 33.3
Barrel/BBE 3.9 / 11.1

It kind of paints a strange picture. Normal splits in the minors yet reverse in the bigs. I'd lean more toward the larger sample that matches with what is true more traditionally.

I don't want to see Singleton playing anymore unless it's the bottom of the 14th and the choices to pinch hit are him and Framber.

Best case scenario for both of them is probably a walk

Who is your least favorite active MLB player?

— Launch The Pack (@launchthepack) March 29, 2024

Joe Kelly. Zero question

Juan Soto

Two games in and I have to miss again for soccer playoffs.

I hate these two weeks

Astros haven't lost two in a row to start the season since 2011, when they finished last in the NL Central (56-106).

Tricia Whitaker….GOOD LAWD Apple did a good job with their on field correspondent

Production values are unmatched, like I've been saying.

Reptile got away with that called K

Soto just literally can't help himself.

Throw his ass out.

Is it just me, or was Soto not ready at the 8 second mark?

New change up looks pretty good for Javier

Javier looked very Javier like.

Aldoble!

Is Steve-O doing the color commentary?

Soto is seriously annoying. Has one of the more punchable faces in baseball behind Joe Kelly

That was straight at his head.

Rodon is all jacked up on Mountain Dew. Velo and spin way up from last year.

Breggy steak

Alex comes through.

There we go Breggy!

Thought verdugo had a chance at that

I am shocked that Verdugo didn't get that
