Muller On Mound- Game Day Thread- 7/21

[Dalyn]

How far do you want to move him down and who’s moving up?

In this particular lineup, I would bat him 6th or 7th, and I would move Riley or Albies into the #2 spot.

Joc
Albies
FF
Riley

After that, I don't care.

The correct answer is pretty clearly Albies in the 2 hole with Swanson no higher than 5th.

It's far from rocket science to order these hitters properly.

Can't believe some people on here got fooled by Arcia's AAA numbers. lmao

 

[Enscheff]

Remember when everyone was clamoring for Arcia to "get his chance since he's hot in AAA"?

 

[msstate7]

I'm ok with giving Arcia PA vs lhp, but almonte should face rhp

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Yes clearly the guy who has an OBP of .320 overall and far worse numbers batting second in the lineup should hit second.

I’m in agreement with putting Albies in the 2 spot. It’s just Swanson looks just about as bad hitting in the 5 hole. Should he hit 7th or 8th with Heredia and Vogt hitting 5 and 6?

Those hitters are all roughly equally crappy. Where they bat 5-8 doesn't really matter. That's why I said "Swanson no higher than 5th".

Swanson is far worse...in both cases.

[thethe]

over hype

Wow

 

[thewupk]

[Garmel]

Muller's living the charmed life.

damn I thought that was long gone

Easy no doubter off the bat

 

[Enscheff]

THAT NL BUNT STRATEGY WAS THRLLING!!

Albies has 30 points of OBP on him in both cases.
