Apparently it's only because the pitcher has to bat type move... forces them to pitch to springer or altuve if a pitcher is sacrificing somebody over.
Well boys, Springer batting 4th in All-star game so you get your wish. I don't know what I want more. ppl before him on base and he bombs one. Or we go 1-2-3 and then Springer leads off with a HR lol.
Here's to hoping that Altuve gets a leadoff homer and that Springer gets a slap hit followed by two stolen bases.
I'm quite annoyed as to why Springer is in LF and Betts in CF, when Betts only made the team by default.
So I guess all of Hinch's decisions wouldn't be mirrored by every other manager because they are obvious. (which is so often argued as the case.) I can only imagine what will happen if springer drives in a bunch of runs . ugh.
People will probably say..."it's an exhibition game" and then continue not caring what happens in it.
Are you advocating the Astros re-hire Brad Mills (the one who made this lineup decision)? I'm guessing you weren't watching the Astros during the Brad Mills-era.
No, but you're right, I forgot a qualifier when I said "people" earlier. I can't do anything about stupid people being stupid.
ok, I was bored enough to press "show ignored content". I'll give you one more reply after this. No, I'm not advocating the hire of brad mills. Yes, there were times I watched the Mills era as religiously as I am watching now,
Nobody...literally nobody...could have won with those rosters. Francona loves him as his bench coach, he obviously knows a thing or 2. He does have a couple of rings and all, and a Pennant and a WC berth with Cleveland. Now Porter on the other hand....
It's either the NBA MVP Award, the Warriors, or the lack of oomph in Correa's HRs. I keep getting the threads confused.
