GDT 7/14/19: A permanent lineup change?

[Enscheff]

Riley Batting 8th is Going to be very interesting.

I suspect an OFer May be in AA’s shopping list if Ender doesn’t round into form soon.

 

[chop2chip]

He's a -3 Outs Above Average defender with a below average 'jump'.

OOA doesn't have everything for an outfielder defensively but when talking about range I trust it over DRS and UZR.

Thanks for this. I just did a cursory look on Fangraphs. I would be curious to see how he is trending. The first couple weeks he was borderline unplayable in LF.

Indeed.

They're either gonna walk/pitch around him to get to pitcher or throw fastballs to keep pitchers spot in order due for next inning.

We're overlooking the more important part of the shuffle which has to do with The Little King looking very good at the plate. Hitting 6th should also give him some chances to be more aggressive on the basepaths.

He's turned it around defensively as well. Back even at UZR and +7 DRS

Since June 1st he has a 154 WRC+ with 1.7 fWAR

Is Swanson's defense is improving of late?

Not really. That bat though.

Not really

Don't get it. Hopefully it does soon

Hard to play good defense when your dick’s dragging the dirt.

Stroman vs Swanson...who wins?

 

[msstate7]

Phillies walk off. Need to gain game on nats

Probably will lose then.

Stroman is from long island.

 

[chop2chip]

The camo Padres uniform has long been the worst in sports. So ugly.

 

[thewupk]

Freeman needs to be moved to 8th. What a bum.

 

[Slippyjms]

Freeman looking awful lately. Josh might surpass him in fWAR today.

 

[chop2chip]

It’s wild how much time this weekend Chip and Paul have spent talking about how softly hit ground balls are a bad thing.
