    Trying not to overreact to a single base hit, but this is a legitimate lineup they could actually run out in the playoffs:

    Altuve
    Bregman
    Tucker
    Alvarez
    Diaz
    Abreu
    Brantley
    Chas
    Pena

    You could put 5-9 in any order you really wanted to. It wouldn't really matter. If you're getting anything close to 2022 Uncle Mike and even just a so-so Abreu, I have no clue how an opposing pitcher would approach that lineup. It's disgusting.

    Michael Brantley is a professional hitter

    That is all

    I read Julio Rodriguez has a pinched nerve in foot.

    Chas OPS is over .900. That’s not an 8 hole hitter.

    I agree. Just trying to be realistic about where Dusty will place him. I know the front office has more say in the lineup in the playoffs, but do we really think Dusty won't push to give the veterans (Brantley and Abreu) the higher spots in the lineup? Also, hence why I stressed flexibility in the 5-9. With a lineup this good, I'm not sure it would matter dramatically.

    Chas is the Rodney Dangerfield of baseball players. He gets no respect.
