Whoever's arm hasn't fallen off at this point. Can we start pitching fast pitch underhanded so we can just use 2 starters?

Rooker is an absolute stud with the bat

And gridley with a 2-RBI single. Loving this

Getting right to it today. Single for Mangum, double for Rooker, Gridley drives them both in.

Even though I hated rooker in the two hole originally, it's working great. Gives him protection on both sides.

Sabermetrics says put your best hitter in the 2-hole. I like the 3-hole, but these results seems to back sabermetrics

This is solely to protect Jake and Brent as best as possible. Saber metrics be damned.

this. and with rooker behind him Mangum is obviously seeing lots to hit cos he's been red hot. I was confused Friday when rooker was in the 2 hole but damn it has produced results - a lot due to how good gridley has been
Do I not look like a pothouse? Six foot down the bar. Go on, jog on, walk on, goodbye, bon voyage, **** off.

There's a lot to be said for putting your best hitter in the two hole. I remember discussions about this in 13 regarding renfroe. It doesn't meet the needs of the saber crowd but in the actual on field game of baseball it can be a solid strategy.

Conventional thinking has always dictated putting your best hitters in the 3 & 4 hole of the lineup, but only in the 1st inning are these hitters guaranteed to POSSIBLY have runners on base ahead of him.
On the other hand, how many times has the game ended with the best hitters stuck in the on-deck circle in the 9th inning. I'd much rather get my best hitters more ABs by hitting them 1 & 2 and challenge the conventional thinking.
On a side note, another challenge to the conventional way of doing things: If you're Tom Brady and the Patriots, why ever kick the extra point? Why not go for 2 after every TD because their completion % has got to be pushing 80%.

Good AB, Poole. He would've struck out a couple weeks ago

He seems to be getting better and better. Isn't he only a sophomore?
