Crews batting lead off instead of 3 hole did get him an extra at bat this game. I am not saying I agree with him at lead off, just throwing this out there.

What about 2, where he should be?

If you are going to bat Crews 1st then you need to have a 9 holehitter that can get on base.

I also think he’d be great in the three hole, but these analytic guys put the best hitters first now. I don’t like it, but they say the extra ABs over time add up.

This is one of the many reasons why "at bats" is not as meaningful as at bats with runners on base. 3 hole is where that is maximized. 3 hole didn't get a meaningless at bat in this game because the 2 hole won the game. If 2 hole didn't win the game 3 hole would have batted. But what you definitedly did was bat Crews with no rbi opportunity in the 1st. Then batted him behind your worst hitters the entire game. You have a few guys with .500 on base averages. Crews should have an rbi opportunity just evey time he get up to the plate, and definitely in the 1st inning. Crews also pressures pitchers to throw good pitches to the guy in front of him, which is wasted on your worst hitter with him in the 1 hole and doesn't happen in the 1st inning at all. All this was figured out in 1910 and why just about every championship teams does it this way. 3 for 4 with 4 rbi is way better than 4 for 5 with 1 rbi.
