    Why MLB hasn't instituted a hockey-like rule saying any player leaving the dugout during an altercation will be suspended is beyond me. Pace of play is also affected by the needless massive congregation of players out there.

    Probably because there are 9 players from one team on the field and at most 4 from the other team.

    With this delayed announcement, I am starting to think this may be a suspension from yesterday versus an mlb roster DFA or demotion. Otherwise the delayed announcement doesn’t make much sense. Then again, not 100% sure on suspension rules for pitchers - know Angels had to play a man short while Rendon was suspended. 

    Suspension doesn't open up a roster spot. Someone has to be DFA or traded in order to free up a 40 man roster spot.

    Punt Sundays are back!

    If sitting Robert once every 10 games keeps him off the IL, I’ll happily take 145 games played. Would I have had him in there? Absolutely. But I get the logic. 

    Yaz sat because day game after night with day game tomorrow. Pretty simple on that one. 

    Fine, but sit them on different days. Give Robert Monday off instead of Sunday.

    I'd be shocked if they DFA German.  

    They decided they needed to clear a roster spot for Middleton rather than just call up German/Alexy/Padilla. Why keep those guys if they aren't worth calling up?

    Risp and bases loaded production is pretty much always just statistical noise and I wouldn't worry much about it being a problem.

    I disagree. With RISP, especially bases loaded, pitchers tend to throw more pitches down and/or out of the zone and that exploits this team's weaknesses in swinging at too many bad pitches and hitting too many grounders.

    Move Moncada up in the order

    Robert is a streaky hitter. He never won't be. He'll carry you for three weeks but he'll also look a little lost at times.

    That sounds exactly like the kind of guy who should be batting 6th-7th

    The problem is that it’s going to be hard to have Benintendi and Yoan at the top of the order and also split up the RH’s in the middle.
    Only solution I see would be to drop Vaughn down in the order? 

     

    If you can convince TA to give up the leadoff spot, Yoan-TA-10D works fine. TA's high contact/low walk rate profiles better at #2 anyway. Yoan getting a lot of walks and doubles is ideal for #1.

    vs LHP: Yoan, TA, 10D, Eloy, Vaughn, Yaz, Robert, Colas, Andrus

    vs RHP, TA, Vaughn, Yaz, Eloy, Robert, 10D, Yoan, Colas, Andrus

    Move Moncada up in the order

    Yoan finally looks fully healthy after 3 years battling COVID and injuries. I think he's gonna have a monster season. He needs to be hitting in the top 3 in the order, at least vs RHP.

    Luis Robert is not a top of the order guy. Doesn't have a high enough OBP to take advantage of his speed.
