    I thought you said it made little difference.
    It doesn't make much of a difference, but it still makes a whole lot more sense.

    I like the lefthanded hitter there to use the first base - second base hole, but of course we know that such an advantage doesn't exist in the random world of baseball.

    Do we really have a rookie batting second?

    His hair was cool, and he looks like a serious gamer. But can he hold down the 2 spot?

    Why not let him ease into this....
    In the town where I was born
    Lived a man who sailed to sea
    And he told us of his life
    In the land of submarines
    So we sailed up to the sun
    'Til we found a sea of green
    And we lived beneath the waves
    In our yellow submarine

    Bogey should bat 2nd vs LHPs not RHPs.

    With him like Betts he just seems mature beyond his years , and should be successful right away.

    Don't know if I'm that thrilled with Moreland batting 5th. I hope Farrell keeps making some adjustments. Good game today and nice win. Great start.

    Weird slot for Moreland. JBJ or Pablo vs the righty made more sense.

    It might be that the guy is going to prove us wrong Kimmi. He just keeps doing amazing stuff......

    Yeah, I would've went with JBJ, Leon, or Panda in the 5th slot. Panda would be interesting in that spot, but JBJ #5 then XB #6 would make the most sense to me anyway.
