Xavier Paul in front of Frazier? What?
Hope it works out.
Wonder why he switched Stubbs and Cozy? It matters zero, I just wondered.
Is Paul maybe getting a few starts to see if he's a serviceable lefty for the rest of the way?....
Gotta get Paul going.
I expect a gem from Leake tonight after that fecal matter he threw his last start out.
Does Dusty just pull names out of a hat for the lineup everyday or what? Day in and day out his lineups make no sense whatsoever. I honestly want to take a side project and figure out how many runs the Reds leave on the table each game throughout the season simply because of the lineup order. I wouldn't be shocked if the Reds are losing 0.5-1.0 expected runs on average each game
It's common opinion around the world of baseball that Dusty makes terrible lineups....that there's no common sense involved with his decision-making when it comes to lineup construction. I doubt if any "hatred" for a Manager has any bearing on his conjecturing on what difference that manager makes in the total wins of a season. Pretty sure it's based on the decisions the Manager makes, and not on his personal feelings about the man. Why you would think that I have no idea.
