May 24, 20196 yr Castillo with that ,608 ops .173avg at clean-up. They won't dare pitch around Abreu now. Edited May 24, 20196 yr by harkness99

Yonder Alonso should be DFA'd. Why is he getting any reps. I say this fully understanding it's magnitude, but i would rather see Palka (or some other minor leaguer) get a chance.

June 9, 20196 yr Ricky put together probably the first lineup all season that I would have don’t myself. Amazing.
June 9, 20196 yr Still not a fan. Leury and his .681 OPS at leadoff while Tim rots in the 7 spot isn’t worthy of praise Edited June 9, 20196 yr by Jose Abreu

I gotta disagree with you, and I have to wonder if Ricky can read, or if anyone in this org understands numbers. Now, SSS and all that, AND, unless we're missing something, check out Leury's splits so far this year: Leury's Splits V. RHP: .302 OBP V. LHP: .404 OBP! Away: .267 OBP Home: .383 OBP! Now, perhaps there's more to THIS particular matchup today, but for fuck's sake, can someone, ANYONE explain why Leury should leadoff today, given the numbers above? IN today's scenario: On the road, vs RHP, his OBP is a sparkling .258, his wRC+ is 40. Honestly, what in the actual FUCK?
June 9, 20196 yr Leury is not the ideal leadoff hitter, but basing your lineups on home/away splits is some serious galaxy brain stuff.

Yah, lost me on the home away splits. Leury is a totally fine leadoff guy considering the roster. I’d bat Timmy 6th before 7th, but I definitely would bat him leadoff.

But honestly, if you're afraid of/don't like the home/away splits, fine. But, in what galaxy is a .302 OBP vs. RHP a good idea for a leadoff man? [i.e. Leury's line for today: 0-3, w/a K] Just based on handedness, Leury is an excellent choice v. LHP, and a moronic one v. RHP, full stop.
