in what universe does a coach have Milam and Larson hitting in front of Kling and Milazzo, and not in front of White/Bear?

In a universe where u want your better hitters getting more at bats during a game. The higher up in the lineup the better chance they have of getting an extra at bat then if they’re hitting 8th and 9th. Baseball 101.

many universes where coaches put their worst hitters are the back end of their lineups. so you know Kling and Milazzo patting 8th and 9th
Tommy and Jones are 1 and 2 to get them the most ABs in the game.

You start some stupid threads if you aren’t deliberately trolling

As a damned good travel ball coach 
, I put my best OBP guys in front of my best hitters (not all is based in batting average). You want guys getting on base and the next guys who make contact. Many times OBP guys were last in the lineup.

You need guys at the back end of the line up too. Usually the 9 hole hitter is your worst hitter but he’s the guy who if can come through, sets the table for the top. There’s lots of stats that help set the lineup. Some are just on base percentage. I want a guy who gets on base. Doesn’t have to hit well to do that. 3, 4, and 5 is power.

Did you really just ask this question?

Overall, Milam has not hit well enough or gotten on base enough in conference play to warrant putting him at the top of the batting order. Larson was at the top of the batting order for much of conference play, but went into a bit of a slump. I think Johnson’s just trying to take the pressure off a young player.

More quality from that golden nugget on top of your neck.
You are just a fricking wizard, really.

I dont love white leading off, or larson hitting 5th, but i dont think it changes much for lineup run production. Ive seen studies in the past about lineup construction variations studied over a large sample, like mlb seasons and adjusting the lineup to maximize runs, and there isnt a huge difference from one variation to the other, other than making sure your best hitters are near the top of the lineup

Don’t question it, we’re having a stellar season

Another shitty qb thread..
Posted on 5/11/24 at 9:27 pm to QB
It’s certainly not a traditional line up but this team lacks guys who can consistently get on in front of Tommy and Bear

Baseball has changed. Clean-up hitters bat lead-off now. Not a fan but metrics bro. 1-4 with a HR = profit to the young Jay Johnson coaches of the world

Not so much Milam, but I don’t know why Larson is getting pushed to the middle of the lineup.
If you’re putting White 1 and Jones 2 (which I don’t care for) Larson should be 3rd. He’s way more consistent than Pearson.
I’d prefer to see:
Larson
White
Jones
Braswell (Travinski has been struggling lately)
Pearson
Milam
Travinski/Brown/Frey
Milano/Neal
Kling
