What is so glaring that people are ignoring. Honestly? That Mookie should bat 3rd rather than 1st? Well, a lot of sabermatricians think your best hitter should hit 1st because it would give him the most AB's and aren't focused on RBI's. Was Benintendi's numbers in AA so glaring that he needed to be sent straight to MLB even though Betts had far better numbers and was sent to AAA before MLB?
I said I would have had Sandy hit earlier in the lineup. You called me out for it for some reason even though Sandy had a great game. If Sandy went 0-3, you might have had a point. Unfortunately, you didn't.
I was just stating that the optimal lineup last night would have had Sandy in front of Jackie. I'm not surprised you couldn't figure that out though. Reading is hard sometimes.
I think the problem nowadays is that people ignore the human element to the game and try to quantify every decision numerically. Sometimes a peak lineup may not be evident simply by number crunching.
