Bump just a reminder game is on apple TV so not on MASN. Off work tonight so was looking forward to the game. 🙁 -

Not sure we should be making changes based on 30-40 ABs when especially when over his career (a much larger sample size), he's been a more productive player leading off a game than he has been overall. -

I think his strategy has changed since his rookie unless his swing has gotten much longer. I really have a hard time recalling seeing him absolutely turn on a high velocity FB in the last couple of years. Look at his first couple homers against Toronto and look how quick he was on inside pitches that he just hit lasers to left. I know the new thought is Mountcastle is unwilling to make adjustments. All I am saying is not everyone is capable of making adjustments and possibly by trying he has lost the thing he really did well. -

You saw how good the offense looked when Mateo was hitting like a MOO batter in April. It was obviously unsustainable. Hopefully Cowser, Kjerstad or Henderson develop into that type of hitter over the next year. I'm losing hope Rutschman develops into more than a 2-hole hitter. -

Well you should email SigBot then, I'm sure he hasn't math'd this math. -

Mullins is batting .189 / .250 / .189 when leading off the game, and .182 / .259 / .273 when leading off any inning. I think most people here would see that as a huge problem, and look to see if somebody else could do a better job. When Rutschman leads off an inning he's batting .297 / .366 / .487 so there's your solution right there. Meanwhile Mullins is batting .359 / .481 / .625 with runners on base, and .432 / .554 / .796 with men in scoring position. Ya, he looks like a leadoff guy but statistically he hits like a middle-of-the-order cleanup batter. He needs to be in one of the 3-4-5 spots in the lineup. Just because we've won games despite our first inning handicap doesn't mean its not a handicap. We're five games back of Tampa and three games ahead of the the MFY. If we had an average first inning offense maybe we're two games out of first, and six in front of the Yankees. Maybe we get to coast the last two weeks of the season instead of being in a dogfight with Toronto, Seattle, and Houston for the last playoff spot. Games lost in the first inning hurt just as much as games lost in the ninth.
