I don’t really love yordan batting second. I like him batting third and the pitcher has to see him on deck while pitching to the 2 hole. I’d like to see an aggressive hitter batting second with yordan in 3 hole…so probably tucker. I think eventually Yanier will make a case for the top 4 and Bregman or tucker will be in the 5 or 6 hole.


I’d be good with Yordan at 3, but I would lead off with Tuck and bat Altuve 2nd. I think Altuve’s best years were out of the 2 behind Springer and as far as aggressive I think he’s as aggressive as they come.

Mistakes I saw

1) no feel for framber sucking today from espada, after 4 and getting lucky with 3 GIDP he should have been pulled but like most managers he wanted to get his starter the W and cost us the game

2) Seth Martinez came in with 2 on, really? That was probably our worst reliever last year not named montero, he is terrible

3) Montero picked up where he left off, bomb to the 9 hole, pathetic

4) pinch hit a guy who homered with singleton instead of dubon who hit over .400 this spring, played great last year and went in anyways.

5) wasted hader for nothing down 1

I blame this all on yainer playing he went 3-4 but this is what dusty meant when we'd thank him for Maldonado playing bc it meant we'd win

In all seriousness, I like what espada did with the lineup, tucker and yordan hit lefties. If it was me, Id move yainer up to 5, drop abreu to 6 and Chas to 7. Dubon is honestly a better option at short than Pena at this point as well in terms of a bat.

We're in for a long year, middle relief sucks, yes abreu coming back will help. Pressly was terrible last year, his confidence seems shot now that he's not a closer. Curious did Joe know judge was 4-5 off pressly before letting him face him? Seems unwise then judge doubled
