Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Deadpool...She ate you up. What she? There was no she here, just someone who said they weren't a man... That doesn't mean a woman!
Dr Negative Verified Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 I don't know why people obsess about the lineup so much. Just hit your good hitters at the top of the lineup back to back and things should work out. The worst thing to do is to put some slap hitting middle infielder in the second sport because he can 'lay down a bunt'.

BigBounceyBlueBalls Old-Timey Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Ego's aside its about winning! I would like to see: Pillar Batz Saunders Bringer of Rain SMOAK E.E Martin/ Thole Tulo Goins/ Barney Just once please!!! When Travis is back slot him lead off After a couple games or a week! Move pillar into the 7 or 9 spot and let it Roll like a Dragula!!!

Because for about 50 years fans have been told by announcers that "the lineup needs a shakeup", and how batting in a different spot in the lineup changes their approach.

Rovert Verified Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Do people remember when JB first came to the Jays , he was like 0-155 or some s*** , well anyhoo he is a bit streaky at times & really the only thing that is missing from JB & JD so far is those big clutch hits that seemed to happen everytime they needed it last year.
Rovert Verified Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 If anything i wish EE wasn't glued to the 4 spot because he is really streaky.
Rovert Verified Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Because for about 50 years fans have been told by announcers that "the lineup needs a shakeup", and how batting in a different spot in the lineup changes their approach. Its a simple game , You throw the ball , You hit the ball !!!
Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Its a simple game , You throw the ball , You hit the ball !!! It is a simple game...physically. It's the mental part that complicates matters.
Orgfiller Old-Timey Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 It is a simple game...physically. It's the mental part that complicates matters. It's not really simple physically either.
BigCecil Old-Timey Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 It's not really simple physically either. In the world of sports I can't think of much harder tasks than hitting a round ball with a rounded bat @ 95mph with movement (and all the other nasty filthy s*** they throw at you to mess with timing)
TheHurl Site Manager Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Alex, I'd like to buy a Vowel !!! Lol I'll allow you to split Edwin's E's
Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 It's not really simple physically either. The concept I mean.
fatcowxlive Old-Timey Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 I think it was decided that #2 is the most valuable place in the lineup a couple of years ago. JD last year proved so. Plus putting JB Infront of JD will just put JD in the same position as if he was batting 2nd but with 1 out or maybe 2 outs because of a DP. Lineup ordering is fine so far this year

John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Its a simple game , You throw the ball , You hit the ball !!! Dont forget catching the ball.
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 It was decided long before that... google "The Book" and optimal line-up. And i guarantee a guy with Pillar's numbers wouldn't be af the top of any lineup.

The level of frustration without drinking is about as high as it gets.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Except golf. The level of frustration without drinking is about as high as it gets. Yet that's on YOU. Not a team.
Dr Negative Verified Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 It's definitely one of the toughest skills in sports, shown by how few very young players there are competing at the top level. Tennis and golf are probably comparable, though tennis relies more on athleticism.
