Pressly strikes out the side!
Astros win 6-3
Boom.
Brown pitched well again.
Any win is a good win.
I do not like Ford at all. He is smooth, but for me, that’s all.
Peña at 2 is BAD. Rally killer.

I like Pena at 2
I do not. Too undisciplined a hitter.

Our best #2 hitter is the Yuli who hits line drives.

If Mancini gets going, we’re probably best with Bregman second and Mancini fourth
Bregman is the RBI guy now, I dunno how you move him up?
I’m all for it though.
I get it. He has also killed pitching while batting 2nd. Or 7th.
I agree it’d be nice if Bregman could hit 2nd.
But what we’ve seen from Mancini is what we’ll get: good power, high strikeouts.
I personally wouldn’t want him in the 4th spot.
I miss Brantley.

He swings at slop. He should be down in the lineup, imo.
I don’t know…I used to think maybe that, but moving Bregman behind Alvarez may be the best lineup move Dusty ever made. I kind of like how that’s played out.

I think Bregman is the best #2 hitter on the team now that Brantley is hurt.
That said, unless they put Alvarez and Tucker back to back again in the 3 and 4 spots, Alex should probably be at #4.
I would actually not mind seeing Chas hit 2nd vs LH starters.
He has over .400 OB%, less than 19% K rate vs them and has some speed
It would be nice if the team can get a cleanup hitter this off season so Alex could settle in at #2.
Ditto giving McCormick a look in the # 2 spot.
I like Chas, especially his ability to drive balls with power to right.
But I don’t think he’s a top of the order guy.
(Insert jpg of tmw’s lineup card with Chas batting 2nd here)
Against lhp Chas could be a fun option at #2
