Mariner Talk Chat Forum

Maybe i'm mistaken about which spot is considered "clean-up" and it's 3 rather than 4. I would be curious to see a breakdown of how many men are on base on average over a season for each spot in the lineup. Maybe the 4 hitter doesn't actually get more RBI opportunities than the 3 hitter. And i would...

Sure, there is on average a difference of about 18 plate appearances between adjacent lineup spots...

So it's no longer common wisdom that you bat your best slugger 4th in the order?

Why would you bat a non-power guy like Naylor 4th instead of Suarez?

Yankees beat the Rays which is probably a good thing since the Rays are better than their record. Means we only have to worry about Texas right now.

I will follow the Ms more closely when they're winning games, but I'm not ever going to gripe about the owner not spending enough money. That's just silly to me.
