Re: Contreras 5K 9ABs
He and Winn are both out of sync.
With him you at least know it's temporary. Winn could be in for a sophomore slump.

Re: Contreras 5K 9ABs
I know this will attract those who (incorrectly) think where a player hit in the order doesn't matter.
BUT
In his career, WillyC hitting #2:
.234 .334 .446 .780
Other than hitting 7th, this is his worse slash line.
It's very obvious WillyC and Donovan should be flipped w/Contreras in the #3 hole (.842 career OPS) where he belongs.
But this stupid theory hitting MOTO hitters in the #2 spot has infiltrated Oli's brain and he needs to correct it ASAP.
Noot
Donovan
WillyC
NADO
Hererra
That's your correct 1 - 5 (IMO) and I don't give a c ra p about the stupid L-R-L-R baloney either, put your hitters in the spot where their strengths can be maximized!
Cue scouty in 3-2-1...............

Rock going all Goldy can't hit based on place in batting order...after 2 games.

Re: Contreras 5K 9ABs
I think his defense at first has been very good. It's only two games. Maybe he needs to change the tape he was chewing on. I've never seen that before.

Goldie hit freaking lead off for the yanks yesterday.and was 2-3 w a double and HR.
Lineup order really doesnt matter if the players are vets.
Re: Contreras 5K 9ABs
So he should go down to AAA?

Re: Contreras 5K 9ABs
Well sure it is. Scott and Winn have an OBP % of .250 and .125……Noot and Donovan have .667 and .333ecleme22 wrote: ↑30 Mar 2025 09:18 amNot the point…Goldfan wrote: ↑30 Mar 2025 09:07 amHow many fewer RBI’s would Ruth have had batting leadoff his entire career?ecleme22 wrote: ↑30 Mar 2025 09:05 amSays the guy complaining the last two seasons about Goldie batting 2nd.rockondlouie wrote: ↑30 Mar 2025 08:46 am I know this will attract those who (incorrectly) think where a player hit in the order doesn't matter.

Why would you ever have a Slugging hitter batting leadoff?

It's about if X player can produce in different spots in the order.
Re: Contreras 5K 9ABs
Well a prime Goldy, Ruth, Pujols,……most productive spot in a batting order is NEVER leadoff. 20% of season PA are guaranteed 0 opportunities with runners on baseecleme22 wrote: ↑30 Mar 2025 09:31 amNot the point.Goldfan wrote: ↑30 Mar 2025 09:27 amWell sure it is.
