SonofaRoache Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I love lefty matchup games when the lefties can actually hit. And why is Williams batting ahead of Yas when Yas is the superior hitter and will bat left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Bieber has a 65 OPS point split differential for his career. That's not so substantial that you need to shove all your LH batters into the lineup and bat them high in the order. I can live with Williams playing LF because of the defense but there's no good reason to bat him 5th, and no earthly reason to put a guy who's not played in over a week at DH.

Tony thinking he's outsmarting the world batting a bat lefty 5th vs him and starting another shitty lefty (Jake Lamb) at DH. Why the Fff is Collins' not DH'ing at the very least if you had this broken brain left/right theory. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

35thstreetswarm Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Sorry, but I naively thought the upside of bringing in TLR was that we weren't going to have to deal with headscratchers like this. What is the fascination with Williams? Why do we have to have 3 bad players in the lineup every night? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I'm at a loss for words. I am literally having trouble typing because I can't make sense of this. Williams two days in a row. No Vaughn. No Mercedes. Jake Lamb at DH. If they win, that's great, but way too many questions as to why the lineup is being handled this way. If this is how it's going to be, Vaughn needs to go to the alternate site to play every day. Or, as someone else posted, Hahn needs to step in and take Tony's toys away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only because there was such a huge difference in 2018 when Bieber wasn't good. Bieber is a much different pitcher now and since he actually started dominating big leaguers he has dominated lefties more than righties (although it's negligible and he kills everyone).

Tony Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Here is the long and short of it for anyone even slightly defending the move ( I really haven't seen anyone do that lol) 1. Is this the best possible lineup TLR could construct? 2. Do placing Williams and Lamb in the lineup serve any other positive strategic process, both short-term and/or long term? I personally feel like both of the answers to those questions are no......which leaves me scratching my head on the decision making process around creating the lineup card.
