SIGBOT's computer seemed to like Adley, Gunnar and Jordan W. 😉

Yeah, Westburg is the exception for what I’m about to say.  Special players like Gunnar, Rutschman, Holliday, and Basallo will be treated differently than the rest.  The others are going to have to work their way into more AB or wait for a break (pun mildly intended).

Exactly. Regardless of whether he has "final say" he's given a lineup that has been run through many factors, and I doubt he's changing much unless it's due to illness or information of health that comes out late. Hyde didn't keep his job through the bad years because he bucked the system and wanted to go off gut. 

And if he deviates he better have a darn good reason because his choices are getting audited.

Listen to Eve answer this question.

At 4:49 she says Hyde sets the lineup.

I’m sure he does. But I also feel confident in saying that he sets the lineup based on the 9 that SIGBOT gives him. 
 

Like, he’s not gonna get in trouble if he bats Gunnar leadoff or Adley leadoff. I believe there’s some flexibility there that allows him to feel like he has some say-so.

Thx for the find. 

My takeaway wasn’t that Hyde sets the lineup instead that heavily collaborative effort in conjunction with analytics, scouting, trainers etc.

Eve basically admits as much when she explains how the lineups are set. Hyde meets with the advanced scouting team and reviews the statistics. Hyde isn't given the latitude that Earl Weaver had back in the day to set the lineup as he pleased.

She says Hyde talks to the Wizards and the Magicians give Hyde a bunch of information. That is not the same as giving Hyde the nine guys and let him sort out the order. My impression is that Hyde sets the lineup but he is getting tons of input and they are all on the same page. It's not really a question of "latitude" since Hyde is buying into the process and vice versa.

Oh geez, the Wizards are terrible what does Jordan Poole know about Baseball, he barely knows Basketball?

    • It can’t hurt to do research on him and place a call to Cards GM & see what’s involved . We need SP help . 
    • Here is my roster. Wasn't an easy task with some tough decisions C  Adley Rutschmann 2022 1B Rafaeil Palmeiro 1998 2B Brian Roberts 2009 SS Miguel Tejada 2006 3B Manny Machado 2015 OF Adam Jones 2015 OF Albert Belle 1999 OF Trey Mancini 2017 DH Chris Davis 2013          Bench Gunnar Henderson 2024 Bench Melvin Mora 2004 Bench Jay Gibbons 2003 Bench Matt Wieters 2011 --------------------- SP Mike Mussina 2000 SP Jason Johnson 2001 SP Wei-Yen Chen    2014 SP Erik Bedard 2007 SP John Means 2019          RP Jorge Julio 2002 RP BJ Ryan 2005 RP Jim Johnson 2012 RP Koji Uehara    2010 RP Zack Britton    2016 RP Felix Bautista 2023 RP Darren O'Day    2014 RP George Sherril 2008  
    • You must choose a 26-man roster from 26 seasons. Here are the rules. Ignore 2020 Select 13 position players, with 9 starters and 4 bench players Select 13 pitchers, with 5 starters and 8 relievers You can only select one player from each season from 1998-2024 (exclude 2020) You can only select a given player ONCE  Starting pitchers have to be starting pitchers, relievers have to be relievers I will amend rules as appropriate from any suggestions you have. Go. 
    • Now being reported on MLB Network in middle of Braves-Mets postgame wrapup.
    • Adley's teams have beaten Witt's teams by about 25 games/season the last 2 years and hopefully can maintain a lead the next 2-3 days. If McCann bats 9th, and Ragans is gone before Batter Faced #27, would the risk of forfeiting the DH be considered if a righty reliever is attacking McCann in a key spot?    Hyde has at least Kjerstad and Holliday on the bench, and maybe one of Mullins or Cowser if Slater starts. I am guessing the roster tomorrow will be 14 bats and 12 arms, so you might have one extra somebody for the team's 36th or 45th plate appearance. One factor against taking the chance...zombie runner is gone so the two teams could have long extra innings for the first time all year.
    • Not sure if it’s been shared already, but saw this and thought he would totally make sense as someone to target in the offseason. Cardinals are looking to reduce payroll, though not sure what a reasonable offer looks like for a 35 year old pitcher making 25 million a year for the next two years. A very light free agent class this year. Someone will definitely overpay for Burnes and I hope it’s not the Orioles. Severino, Buehler, Bieber and Max Fried are also intriguing. What say you? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/09/report-cardinals-open-to-offers-on-sonny-gray.html
    • I was looking that up too. He was in the bullpen throughout 2018 brewers run. Had a very solid first playoff start in 2021, then a not so good one in 2023 as you posted. Postseason is a different animal, and he’s got some experience, but he’s not proven in the playoffs. Time to make that money Corbin!
