Is the ROYMVP usually second in the Yankee's lineup? Is that a shakeup?

Knoxbanedoodle · « **Reply #2 on:** October 13, 2017, 04:34:43 pm »

That’s normal. I’m happy to see Gurriel moved up.

juliogotay · « **Reply #3 on:** October 13, 2017, 04:46:46 pm »

What is weird about these two teams is that they both have 1B hitting in the second half of the order, DHs hitting in the bottom 3rd, RFers hitting 2nd and SSs hitting 4th. 3B is hitting 8th and 9th.

You'd think Buck would know that once a hitter leaves the dirt area around home plate, he's considered having abandoned his attempt to advance and is automatically out. But he hates baseball.

I may get skewered here, but I enjoy Smoltz as a color analyst especially when he touches on a pitcher's approach.

So do I. I also enjoy A.J. Pierzinski’s take because he talks a lot of inside baseball stuff and calls out players when that is required.
