pollythewog Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Jazz is great at hitting against velo so I fully expect him to hit 9th or benched against hicks who throws 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong. Probably will be. That's fine, it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SongInTheAir Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 it's still a bad lineup, but it's definitely better than anything we've seen this season. Those are the depths Mattingly has fallen to: "this is bad, but not as bad as I expected, so that makes it good" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue Wendle should be a spot higher or DLC over Garcia, but I wouldn’t say it’s bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue Wendle should be a spot higher or DLC over Garcia, but I wouldn’t say it’s bad Donald's insistence on splitting every lefty batter with two righties is asinine (LRRLRRLRR). Wendle and BA are both hitting well and should be higher in the order. Soler, Thicc Jesus, and Avislow are all struggling and shouldn't be in key lineup positions. Also, this is essentially a bullpen game for the Cardinals as I doubt Hicks throws more than 50-60 pitches, so setting the lineup based on handedness is, as are most of Mattingly's decisions, extremely shortsighted and often plain wrong.

r5812 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 SOler isn't even on pace for 200 K's. How dare Don give him less at bats by moving him down in the order. I expected record setting numbers! #FireMattingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has more than 2 pitches. (sinker, slider, cutter) He is basically a 3 pitch guy that has been working on a forth (change up), though I wish he'd mix in a traditional 4 seamer more often. They are making him a starter in an effort to manage his load more, whether or not this will be successful is who knows. Flaherty comes back at some point I assume to make this all moot most likely anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graded on a curve obviously and taking into consideration the lineups that should have been aborted before being delivered to the umpires, so this is a rather decent lineup from him!
