It's a proven fact that the no.4 hitter has more opportunities with men on base than the no.3 hitter contrary to common knowledge.
And this can in no way be attributed to that fact that for the past 100 years, the no. 3 hitter has been the best and is therefore on base more?

Not at all because there are 5-6 other spots that can have the opportunity to get on base in front of the no.4 hitter in any given inning.

Lol, what is difficult to understand about that

It's not that I don't understand it, it's just fricking stupid.

One question if I may: can you name some of the teams that slot their best hitter in the two hole as opposed to the three hole?

To stay on topic with the thread here is an update.
"INJURY UPDATE: Outfielder Chris Sciambra returned to practice Wednesday after suffering for several days with a fever and virus and is expected to be fine to play this weekend. ... Designated hitter/outfieder Sean McMullen (hamstring) ran and practiced for the first time Wednesday since injuring himself in LSU’s win over Sam Houston State Saturday. “He looked good,” Mainieri said."

I've seen some of the same research regarding lineups. But one thing you have to remember regarding the saber stuff is that in most cases the results are based on much larger sample sizes, projected over much larger number of games, and not to mention the difference in the level of play. The results aren't always transferable to the college game, especially when you talk about team oriented metrics. But I do think you can look at some of the advanced individual stats to gauge a college player's performance.

Thank you for at least not writing w/e I say off as idiocy. The only thing im trying to say is that it makes no sense to create a situation where Laird can have 5-6 ab's in a game and Bregman, Katz, Ibarra and Rhymes can have 4-5 ab's. I do agree that college sample size is nowhere near enough though, and LSU is so good this year it doesnt really matter who bats where. It's the principle of the matter really that I was getting at.

The principle bottom line to all of this is that on no planet should Christian Ibarra hit leadoff with Alex Bregman behind him.

The only scenario I can think of was in 2009 where the Rays hit Zobrist in the 2 hole and he hit 297/405/543 (27 bombs and 17 sb's too) and was by far their best offensive player. Longoria hit 281/364/526 that year, which is very good too. There's a reason the Rays win so much when they arent supposed to as well though.

The only planet that should happen on is the one with Mark Laird batting lead off.

So you're factual evidence is based on one team doing it 4 years ago?

What are you talking about? I never said that teams do that. I said that teams should do that.

It's a fact that the 2 hole hitter should be one of the best hitters on the team because he comes up to bat with the most high leverage situations and he should also be a very high OBP guy.
Your best hitter is usually the 3 hole guy.
