bernadina and desmond in the 1 and 2 holes would be disastrous. go espinosa and werth as 1 and 2 (either way), nix at 3, zim at 4, morse at 5, ramos at 6, desmond at 7, bernadina/ankiel 8.
Marquis' pitchers are moving like crazy tonight
I wouldn't read a whole lot into hitting stats at a particular place in the lineup. Players generally hit about the same over a long period of time regardless of lineup position, adjusting for age etc.
I reckon... The stats are there, just looking at them.
With the way Marquis is pitching, this game should not still be in doubt...but it is.
I actually feel relatively confident, oddly enough.
I don't mean to pick on you, but you could find a stat showing that Espinosa hits worse on Tuesday afternoons than on Thursday evenings. It's unlikely that batting first causes him to play that much worse, and as you said, it's much more likely that it's a sample size thing. But he could hit 2nd as well, Werth first.
Still?
that looked like an HR off the bat
Are you wasting Werth's bat leading off though? It's all good, just trying to entertain myself
Wilson Ramos was really aggressive in that meeting with Marquis.
