Squirmin' for Yermin Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I have no doubt in my mind Peavey44 could set a better lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR fucked us, too, by refusing to pay for a competent LF replacement. This is compounded by TA and our primary back OF both being on the IL. I'm not excusing TLR but let's not pretend he's sitting stud starters every night. TLR has tossed out over 100 different line-ups a season over most of his career. That's what he does. This should come as no surprise that we aren't seeing consistency from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larussa continuing to not give Vaughn a chance and play williams and leury everyday has F'd us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are ways to construct our lineups so we don't see the likes of Williams, Lamb, and Mendick making up a third of our batting lineup. They should do that. How? With Leury? Not going to sacrifice defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopek Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I’m legit surprised that Lamb isn’t hitting higher in the lineup. That’s where the bar is right now for lineup logic. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on how much of a trendline you're willing to draw from his 2 hits coming against lefties. But...damn, if you can't play Vaughn against righties, and you can't play Engel against righties, heck at least keep the one on the roster who can catch the ball.

Bob Sacamano Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) Honestly shocked Leury isn't at SS or 2B because lefty bat. Edited April 13, 2021 by manbearpuig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) Didn’t Renteria hit Palka and Delmonico 4th? Those were the days... Btw, Byron Buxton at .484 is closing in on Mercedes’ batting average of .500. We’re sitting the league’s best hitter statistically.
