It wouldn't be the worst idea to swap Raph and McMullen for the 1st game of the Regional just to see. It's just so late in the year to start trying shite you don't want to completely mess up multiple guy's heads.

yeah I don't think PM will do that. He may switch Jones and Raph tho.

He hits a lot of ground balls. Good for a high batting average, but the downside is hitting into a lot of dp's, especially because the guys batting before him also have high on-base percentages.

After I posted I saw that someone else had a thread on this.

Nothing worse than goofs rashly creating new threads without checking first. Almost nothing....

Raph needs to work on the artful strikeout with runner on first. It would increase his productivity.

I looked at stats available on LSusports.net. Rhymes has grounded into 12 double-plays this year, the most on the team. Next highest was Bregman with 7.

Ok...first, there may already be a thread on this.. I didn't check...


So are you saying that you didn't think this was probably already discussed or that you just didn't give a shite and wanted to post your shitty thread anyway?

His act with RISP is ridiculous. He had a bad day.

When he comes up, there's usually somebody on first. Look at the lineup in front of him.

This is the worst idea of all. This gives him maximum opportunities to hit into double plays.

It would suck to have a lead off with average speed, but if you're moving Raph, you either move him back or to lead off.
