Why Contreras second?
Why Pages ahead of two fast runners Scott and Winn?

4 lefties in a row? LoL.

Why is JW even up on the team? He can't hit.

[Absolut]

Reshuffle those titanic deck chairs!

Who has 4 lefties in a row?

[Hoosier59]

Even though Gorman is only hitting .208, he has been producing runs. He’s scored 8 times and driven in 8 in only 40 some at bats. Look up the stats, there are several guys with twice as many at bats with less numbers. Gorman needs to play more. Hopefully he can get hot with more consistent playing time, and gain some confidence back.

Oli, Mo, the front office geeks...all three?

Whoever has been making out these lineups has NO CLUE what they're doing.

Great point.

He produces when cold and playing sparingly. Imagine if he played hot.

Also his underlying numbers aren’t bad.

Barrel% still strong at 15%
Hard hit% still strong at 42%
K% down a bit from years past at 30%, but it has climbed in recent days (9 K’s in his last 24 PAs).
Walk% good at 10.7%, close to 2023 levels when he had an .805 OPS
His outside the zone swing% is 23% which would be a career low
Contact% 72.9% would be a career best
zone contact% is 87% which would be a career best
His first pitch strike% is 57% which would be a career low
Big issue is his fly ball % is up (60%) while his HR/FB% is way down (5%, his career norm is 18%).
His average EV is also down at 86.9

Looks like he finally got a hint.
