Opening day batting order?

[Kimmi]

A "whole lot"?

 

I thought you said it made little difference.

 

It doesn't make much of a difference, but it still makes a whole lot more sense.

I realize that Benintendi will be hitting second, but I still like Bogaerts in that spot, even though it makes more sense for Benintendi to bat there, so that a left handed bat can be up in the top.

I like the lefthanded hitter there to use the first base - second base hole, but of course we know that such an advantage doesn't exist in the random world of baseball.

Now you're just being silly.

I am often silly.

Do we really have a rookie batting second?

 

His hair was cool, and he looks like a serious gamer. But can he hold down the 2 spot?

 

Why not let him ease into this....

Bogey should bat 2nd vs LHPs not RHPs.

Maybe JF will go with this...

I was of the same opinion, but what do we know. LOL

[Fisk]

With him like Betts he just seems mature beyond his years , and should be successful right away.

Don't know if I'm that thrilled with Moreland batting 5th. I hope Farrell keeps making some adjustments. Good game today and nice win. Great start.

Weird slot for Moreland. JBJ or Pablo vs the righty made more sense.

It might be that the guy is going to prove us wrong Kimmi. He just keeps doing amazing stuff......

Yeah, I would've went with JBJ, Leon, or Panda in the 5th slot. Panda would be interesting in that spot, but JBJ #5 then XB #6 would make the most sense to me anyway.
