Why is Nozzie and his sub .700 ops not batting next to Michael Cheezburger x 2 and Lemke light?
Honestly, it should be Harris after Ozzie and then Murphy if Snitker is worried about bullpen matchups. Otherwise, Murphy should be batting 5th.

I would rather guarantee Murphy gets more ABs in critical position versus worrying about BP matchups at this point.

no fear.. twit has it figured out that just change his pitch usage should fix everything. Basically told the league that he won't throw the slider much anymore...
bold strategy cotton.
Albies has the same crappy approach as always, but now he's not hitting the ball hard enough to even come close to making up for it.
He hasn't hit a ball over 107.2 mph. His average EV is a career low. Hard hit rate as bad as 2022. ISO at a career low.
He's 28 so unlikely to be declining. The only thing I can think of is he was hurt to start the season, and maybe now is starting to feel better.

outputs are great, but what are the inputs. I haven't watched much.. but the games I have seen, there have been a lot of infield hits and some bloops.. That means those numbers are not sustainable and he will come crashing back.. post the Babip for those periods to tell a more complete story.. or xwoba..
