I could write a python program that could do the same thing in about an hour and the lineups would be better.  

Man, I'm pretty sure we could just fire up MLB The Show and it would do the trick.

Why is Abreu the only one who doesn't get rest and he has been by far the worst?

I am curious for your source on this.

Just vibes.

I just wish all of this cold weather would go away, since that is when the hitting switch gets flipped.

 

love to give one of the best hitters on the team the fewest plate appearances, because, uh, he can be a second lead-off man. or something.

I'm very excited to watch Cueto tonight. One of my favorites. He's a master of deception.  It's going to be a rough night for the velocity whores.

Glad all our lineup decisions are based on batting average.

We’re so screwed with him making decisions

Fucking moronic.  I’m beyond over TLR.

The year is 2022. 

TLR is ready to manage like it's 2006.

I already explained this line of thought.  It makes perfect sense to try and string some hits together.  Otherwise, the bottom half of the lineup is just a black hole.

Now the black hole just gets more at bats because they hit earlier and can kill a rally earlier.

Try to string them together more often at the front. This isn’t hard. He should not be hitting 9th.

Abreu is unmoveable so that is never going to happen.  This is the second best option.

Minus Peds, Pujols and Eck no HoF credentials, bro.

It would be understandable if Vaughn wasn't one of the slowest guys on the team and he was hitting behind McGuire.

The proverbial second leadoff man. 

Nah, still can't sell that.

I didn’t know Abreu writes the lineups.

Lol get the fuck out of here. Batting Vaughn 9th does nothing but guarantee he gets the fewest at bats tonight

FIRE TONY LA RUSSA and HAHN.

He's had good success in Kauffman Stadium. Time to root for Jose to bust out of his season-long lousiness.
