    Teams best hitters should hit 2nd and 3rd to maximize PA's, we have our best hitters hitting 2nd and 3rd.

    He's done a lot of stupid things, that is not one of them.

    What a crock that we don’t play on memorial day until 8:40pm. Should all be day games today. Total trash.

    Top 10 RBI leaders are batting 3rd and 4th with exception to Contreras, Soto and Tucker.

    Abreu had 90 RBI last year… its not a stat that necessarily implies eliteness.

    He’s been extremely inconsistent (whether it’s health, fatigue, whatever) and his last start was very well the worst he’s looked (in terms of stuff) in his entire Astros career, regardless of ER’s allowed.

    The fact that he’s unable to take his bullpen session coincides with that regression.

    So the Top RBI guys are all 3rd or 4th...except when they're not.

    The top OPS guys (the best hitters) in baseball all hit in the top 3

    You are complaining about a league that insists on having weekday day games for the playoffs with broadcasts what seems to be granted based on Russian roulette.

    It implies eliteness more often than not.

    Abreu sucks. We can’t go backwards.

    If you are right

    We likely will be moving Bregman and Pressly at the deadline
