Batting Lineup

[Dalas21000]

I dont understand why Roenicke would pull Moreland from the number 3 spot and Martinez from cleanup...Those were two spots in the order that I thought were set in stone and working well through the years.....

Pillar is a professional hitter and gives you good ABs. I would put Verdugo leadoff and leave him there the rest of this lost season. He has the speed and some pop. See if can handle the responsibility. If he proves he can then you will know for 2021. Because everything that is done the rest of the season is for the future. I hope it wasn’t the pressure of hitting leadoff that has caused Benny his problems. The experiment of him hitting leadoff should be over.

 

If Beni feels pressure and it impacts him that much, it doesn't speak well of his future and career. I'd rather hope that Beni gets top notch hitting instruction and uses it to get out of the funk.
