2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

[Moose Milligan]

I think the lineup is solid, I'm not at all worried about missing Kjerstad.

Why is Kjerstad here again? Sitting on the bench every day is really helping his development.

They said Kjerstad pitched in junior high. They might use him from the bullpen.

I think the only guys that didn't pitch in Junior High were the guys that had already turned pro by then.

I don't know why Kjerstad is even here.  I think the dude needs to be dealt for a BP arm.

I think we see:

1. Gunnar - SS

2. Adley - DH

3. Mountcastle - 1B

4. Tony - RF

5. Westy - 3B

6. Mullins - CF

7. McCann - C

8. McKenna - LF

9. Mateo - 2B

 

On the 14 lefty cutters that McKenna saw since 2023, he has 0 whiffs and a .532 xwOBA.

Mullins is 1 for 18 off Cortes.  Might be a good time for a night off.   Mateo or McKenna in CF.

No such luck.

• James McCann (R) C
• Colton Cowser (L) LF

Hyde finally got the memo on Urias's reverse splits.

The fans wearing silly cow outfits will have to wait till 9th spot to see their guy bat.

He must have had it on Saturday too.

I like that they are continuing to run Cowser out there to face lefties. How is he going to improve without being given the reps?

In past seasons they would have run McKenna out there in place of Cowser. I am glad that we are no longer taking that kind of approach. 

[interloper]

Like, any Hays haters can't tell me that if he were healthy, they wouldn't rather see him in the lineup right now over Mullins against the lefty.

Santander also has terrible stats vs. Cortes and has been making some truly awful swing decisions lately. I had thought this would be a good day to play Kjerstad in RF.
