I'm not sure I see the logic of not playing Grandal against LHP. He's got a .269/.400/.500, 145 wRC+ line this year against LHP. Granted it's only 35 PAs. This would be my lineup Vs. LHP if Eloy is capable of playing LF, 1. TA SS .458/.509/1.021, 1.530OPS, 307 wRC+, 53 PA 2. Grandal DH .269/.400/.500, .900 OPS, 145wRC+, 35 PA 3. Abreu 1B .255/.309/.569, .878 OPS, 135wRC+, 55 PA 4. Eloy LF .289/.304/.556, .860 OPS, 132 wRC+ , 46 PA 5. McCann C .429/.528/.714 1.242 OPS, 236wRC+ 36 PA 6. Moncada 3B .229/.364/.343, .706 OPS, 105wRC+, 44 PA 7. Robert CF .262/.347/.452, .799 OPS, 120 wRC+, 49 PA 8. Engel RF .313/.353/.438, .790 OPS, 121 wRC+, 34 PA 9.

I love the lineup we have now, but those 90s Indians teams were very good. C - Alomar Jr 1B - Sorrento/Franco/Thome 2B - Baerga/Alomar/Tony Fernandez SS - Vizquel 3B - Thome/Matt Williams/Fryman LF - Belle/Giles CF - Lofton/Grissom RF - Manny DH - Murray/Justice

That Luis Robert is some kind of something

If MLB wants to show they actually take this cheating as a team seriously, they should take away Houston’s 2020-2023 1st through 5th round picks in the MLB draft and the pool $ that comes with it. They should also ban them from International Signings for 4 years. MLB needs to come down extremely hard on them, or you just encourage others to do the same.

0 today. They were all ground ball singles, and one bunt single.
