poppysox Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Oh well...I guess Castillo has to play sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harkness99 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Castillo with that ,608 ops .173avg at clean-up. They won't dare pitch around Abreu now. Edited May 24, 2019 by harkness99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not normal, but put McCann at DH or give him at 1B glove or something. Yonder Alonso should be DFA'd. Why is he getting any reps. I say this fully understanding it's magnitude, but i would rather see Palka (or some other minor leaguer) get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Ricky put together probably the first lineup all season that I would have don’t myself. Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Still not a fan. Leury and his .681 OPS at leadoff while Tim rots in the 7 spot isn’t worthy of praise Edited June 9, 2019 by Jose Abreu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta disagree with you, and I have to wonder if Ricky can read, or if anyone in this org understands numbers. Now, SSS and all that, AND, unless we're missing something, check out Leury's splits so far this year: Leury's Splits V. RHP: .302 OBP V. LHP: .404 OBP! Away: .267 OBP Home: .383 OBP! Now, perhaps there's more to THIS particular matchup today, but for fuck's sake, can someone, ANYONE explain why Leury should leadoff today, given the numbers above? IN today's scenario: On the road, vs RHP, his OBP is a sparkling .258, his wRC+ is 40. Honestly, what in the actual FUCK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Leury is not the ideal leadoff hitter, but basing your lineups on home/away splits is some serious galaxy brain stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah, lost me on the home away splits. Leury is a totally fine leadoff guy considering the roster. I’d bat Timmy 6th before 7th, but I definitely would bat him leadoff.

But honestly, if you're afraid of/don't like the home/away splits, fine. But, in what galaxy is a .302 OBP vs. RHP a good idea for a leadoff man? [i.e. Leury's line for today: 0-3, w/a K] Just based on handedness, Leury is an excellent choice v. LHP, and a moronic one v. RHP, full stop.
