2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

No complaints. When your entire infield is gold glove caliber and only one is struggling, you are in a good spot. Urias day will come but hopefully he plays great defense and gets a clutch hit.

So Holliday's .050 average (or whatever it is) would excite you?  If you're talking about RIGHT NOW (as you seem to be in re Mullins' 'funk') I don't know that would be the case.  Where exactly would Kjerstad be playing if replacing one of these three players?

I didn't say it would be better, just that I would be more excited. 

It was exciting watching Holiday bat .053. (maybe not anymore)

He went 2-3 with 3 runs scored and a double on Sunday.

Ha.  I know Trey well.  I'm a block away in the same hood.  I probably know your sister.  I coached Trey's brother, with their father, for several years.  My oldest son has worked out with Trey and we all hung out with him for a series in Tennessee vs. Georgia two years ago.

LOL OK I’ll give you seeing Holliday was more exciting than Urias. Doesn’t change my original point though - these three players are far better bottom 3 than mostly (nearly all) lineups.

Good point on the defense. I wasn’t even factoring that in but all three are excellent defensive players as well. 

This team is loaded man. I love it so much.

Good lineup tonight 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Let's hope the bats wake up tonight. I like moving up Westburg to fifth against LHP.

Can we please stop catching McCann so much?

He has a 531 OPS vs lefties this year and it was sub 600 last year.

Much rather see Adley catch and have Kjerstad go against a lefty.

I hope they wake up as well; especially since I’m on the metro on the way to the game haha.

Maybe they like him better back there against a speedy team.

He has a 100 point career split in favor of LHP. He's going to start his share of games and those will mostly come vs LHP. I'd like to see Kjerstad replacing Santander and Cowser vs LHP on a rotating basis as long as he is on the roster. 

Mullins could rest too but he should be replaced by McKenna vs LHP.

Well, you also need to consider that Adley has always hit better when he DH’s than when he catches.  Some of that may be because he tends to DH against LHP, but not all of it.
