It's hard to say it's a personnel decision versus a baseball philosophy though (although starting the worst player in MLB is clearly a personnel decision). There's a reason this team doesn't score runs (see my previous posts)

 

 

The commentator of Fox Sport Taiwan said Stanton had no any hitting strategy in this game,but I think he had no any hitting strategy in every single game.

This could be considered an act of war

 

A war between Taiwan and America !? I think maybe he said that due to Stanton didn't hitting well in Chen's start.

 

 

What lineup would you put together @pollythewog

 

Maybe something like?

 

1. Gordon

 

2. JT

 

3. Yelich

 

4. Stanton

 

5. Ozuna

 

6. Prado

 

7. Bour

 

8. Rojas

 

I agree with JT being up in the order too.

 

 

I think Stanton's hitting strategy is swing for the moon, if it misses, at least it will land among the stars... or something like that.

which is better than swinging at everything and grounding out 60% of the time

 

 

marlins are currently 3rd in GB/FB ratio. ground balls are very bad and i wonder if it's a hitting philosophy of a team that refuses to embrace modern baseball still

 

There's a few things that go into this. I've worked with a few guys on launch angle and it's a fine balance between mechanics and approach. For instance, prado will always be a high %GB guy because of his approach. Yelly will probably never have a crazy high launch angle because of his lack of tilt. This is fine because his approach allows him to get into good hitters counts. Hech actually does a really nice job of using the Tilt philosophy. However approach wise, well he seems to guess wrong quite a bit. I wouldn't say it's as simple as them not embracing "modern baseball", as it is the type of players we have. Move JT into the 2 slot against RHP and it will mask some of the issues

Isn't Taiwan just a Chinese island?

 

 

You cannot say there was zero punch while excluding the inning that we did make an attempt at a rally. That's makes no sense. That's like saying "I'm a virgin except for that night I had sex."

 

That's twisting the narrative in your favor.

 

At least use logic in your negativity please.

 

That depends.  If it's oral sex does that still make you a virgin?
