I may be wrong, but I always assumed the idea was for the benefit to the righty sandwiched in between that gets to face a lefty with the benefit...
Because you want your best hitters to come up with higher chances of people on base, instead of having Yordan Alvarez bat leadoff with Maldanado...
Pena has a 0.380 OBP and 1.200 OPS in the 2 spot so far this year. No idea why or if it's a fluke, but having him in the 2 hole hasn't been like...
Not directly related to the Astros, but the Phoenix Suns just signed a deal to go back to local over-the-air TV broadcasts instead of RSN's. Not...
Hmm, so you're offended I didn't respond to you? Was there something to discuss or debate here? It was an interesting stat. I appreciated the...
No kidding. The OP managed to hijack and ruin his own interesting thread because he got offended by ... who knows what.
But it's the 9 hitter that gets the fewest at-bats, and in Maldy's case, a guy likely to be pinch hit for late in the game (Diaz seems less likely...
Or maybe the Astros just think his on-field contribution is more than you do. Or maybe they consider the fact that Diaz has said he doesn't want...
If this is what you think happened in Crimea, you really need to read less Russian propaganda.
I don't get the issue. Are we now saying catchers DO matter? Just not the one all the pitchers rave about? Or is Diaz's 0.558 OPS the difference...

The NFL draft betting market is really really small. This article about Levis' odds talks about Caesars taking a $500 and $800 bet today after the...
DeSantis has virtually no shot, but whatever shot he does have, it's in 2024. He can't win because he has no charisma and he's a pretty horrible...
Chaz currently has a higher OPS than 6 of the 7 guys in that lineup that have played this year.
Giving up lots of runs to the Rays is unfortunately a common occurance right now. They have SIX players in their lineup with a higher OPS than...
You're assuming Pena was hitting because he was batting 2nd; but he might have been batting 2nd because he was hitting. Besides, even in the #2...
The goal of a business is not to break even by not paying rent, ignoring contracts, and collapsing both revenues and expenses. I mean, he could...
Except claiming that our system is the *root cause* of the problems while all the systems that use the method you want also have the exact same...
Here is the chart from VooDoo's article: [IMG] Still better to have good credit and lower LTV - saying the new system is bad presumes the old...
