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.

Even Poole would be playing Cowser

[Billy F-Face3]

[Keygans]

Ugh… Kemp at 2nd?    Ohearn in Right?     At least Cowser gets the start… 

[forphase1]

Who is excited to see Kemp in his first start for the Os?!?!?!?!    Cowser is in the lineup too, so hopefully that'll make some happy, myself included.  

[glenn__davis]

Henderson SS

Rutschman C

Santander DH

Mountcastle 1B

O'Hearn RF

Mullins CF

Westburg 3B

Cowser LF

Kemp 2B

 

[Aristotelian]

Lefties his .968 off this guy. Don't like Kemp but it's a good day to rest Urias and Hays. I say good lineup.

[dystopia]

Kemp can’t be worse than Urias offensively.
