I think it's because Pivetta has reverse splits this year. Now, do you value his career numbers or this year...I'm not sure. But maybe SIGBOT cares about this year more maybe because of pitch mix/effectiveness can vary year to year. Who knows. Against righties: .279/.311/.514 - .825 OPS Lefties: .187/.251/.365 - .616 OPS -

So he has the same first 6 hitters and plays Rivera over Mayo who has hit better and is a much better defender along with playing Slater in the outfield which gives us better defense over Santander and takes McCann a light hitting catcher out of the game. So he made an upgrade at 3rd base with how both guys are playing and flipped Slater for McCann and thus makes it an awful lineup. It makes me laugh how much people get upset about nothing. -

Coulombe doesn't have righty/lefty splits. It's why he is so damn good. Akin doesn't have righty/lefty splits this year, and he didn't last year but he was awful/hurt. He definitely did in 2022. But he stinks with runners on and in high leverage situations. Soto is super inconsistent and when he blows up he's awful. Last year he stunk against righties, but was excellent against lefties. I reckon they want him to get back to that. To me, the pecking order would be this: Coulombe and Perez for high leverage situations Akin only in for fresh innings and to give 1-2 IP. Soto I just don't trust. He had a nice stretch there for a minute, but in the end...he was pitching in mostly low leverage situations. -

Last night's lineup was Hyde first decent lineup in a long time, but tonight's lineup is another abysmal one from him. If Elias was going to make a dumpster dive trade for Austin Slater, I can somewhat see the logic behind strictly using Slater as a platoon player. But I definitely don't understand giving him more starts against righties. What both Elias and Hyde are saying by giving Slater opportunities is, "We don't care about stats or splits, we have a good feeling about this guy." That's it, and that's terrible roster management. Slater has extreme favorable career splits against lefties, and the Elias apologists on this board pointed to Slater being a good platoon matchup hitter against lefties, saying he makes some sense if you believe his struggles against lefties this season would normalize closer to his career line. Yet Slater is still actually hitting better against righties this season. Ultimately, in the end, Slater is a .600 OPS hitter overall this season. Which makes him unplayable to any competent manager or GM. There was a reason Slater was available at the trade deadline for cash considerations. And it's because he sucks. Emmanuel Rivera, meanwhile, has a .597 OPS this season. Sorry, not even a gold glove 3B is worth rostering with that kind of bat. Yet Hyde continues to give Rivera at bats over a top 10 prospect who should be getting as many starts as possible to get comfortable. Unbelievable. Slater and Rivera could each hit a home run tonight, and that still wouldn't change how terrible they are or that it's bad lineup optimization to start both of these bums. -
Right. Let's just be honest and say that he did a great job building the farm system through the Houston "tank" philosophy, but now must prove he can be good at building the MLB product. But yes, this trade looks dreadful at the moment. -
I still expect him to be a very good player. However, I was hoping for 70 grade bat-to-ball and instead he had a 21.8% in-zone whiff % at Norfolk. His Tides OPS was powered by a 20% walk rate which won’t stick at the big league level. I was hoping for solid SS defense and plus 2B defense, but it looks more like solid at 2B and maybe not viable at SS. Going into the season I was hoping for perennial MVP candidate and now have tempered my outlook to occasional All-Star. I recognize he is 20 but so are the other Jackson’s. -

Billy Rowell. Should be capping off a hall of fame career by now but he’s smoking pot and collecting shopping carts at a Food Lion in Jersey. Jokes aside, De Leon was a guy I had hopes for headed into the season cause we’re thin with pitching. I thought Beavers was going to be a solid prospect. Mayo for looking completely lost when arriving in Baltimore.
