[The Nemesis]

Why yes, active roster OBP leader Cavan Biggio is batting 8th, behind Brandon f***ing Drury. Cause Charlie's crafty like that.

Wow

 

[The Nemesis]

No, Jamie. Analytics has nothing to do with this monstrosity of a lineup.

I hate that the non-stathead media types turn around and look at any decision they don't get and say "well, analytics must justify it" like fancy stats and analysis are just there to be a convenient scapegoat for anything that might be weird or different.

No, this is just dumb decision making. Occam's razor says the most simple explanation for this is that Charlie Montoyo makes puzzling choices based on little to no logic or evidence. So why presume this is any different?

 

[The Nemesis]

Suggest that Charlie stacked the RHBs at the top of the lineup because Yarbrough is a lefty.

Yarbrough is a reverse splits guy.

 

[xxOCZMSxx]

If we get nohit tonite, Charlie needs to go.

 

[canucksfan]

Lineup is off to a great start

 

[The Nemesis]

Lineup changes doing their job to start the game!

Better than in hockey where you get people who pretend like they know analytics and then get mad at analytics when things do not work out when the real issue is that they never really understood analytics in the first place.

Lowe again....

 

[as Pure as Evil]

[Cleetus]

Lowe is a hitting machine

 

[The Nemesis]

The 7-run lead is the most dangerous lead.

 

[The Nemesis]

f*** yeah, Gurriel!

Also we need a gif of his finger-gun reaction afterwards.

 

[The Nemesis]

Bo Jackson threw out Harold Reynolds?

*whistle*

 

[The Nemesis]

Damn, Teoscar. That ball had a family.

 

[The Nemesis]

Back-to-Back Plakata!

 

[Cleetus]

Back 2 Back!

 

[canucksfan]

That is more like it from Vlad.

 

[Suntouchable13]

How do you take pitches that like? Still blows my mind. It looked like a strike till the last second.

That's the kind of skill that earns you the right to bat 8th in the lineup

Montoyo facts

 

[Forgotusername]

Gurriel starting to really heat up.

 

[Cloned]

Montoyo playing 4D chess with his lineup today. LOL.

 

[The Nemesis]

Lourdes Gurriel is a sliding savant. That's the second crazy awesome slide he's had in like hte last week.

 

[Forgotusername]

OMG! What a slide.
