Bill Plunkett ✔@billplunkettocr Buckle up, #Dodgers fans. Roberts was asked in this scenario -- 3-2 lead in 8th, Trout-Pujols coming up -- who pitches? "Blanton."
the "sabr" lineup has your best hitter hitting 2nd, so, although I don't know what is going on behind the scenes, I've found it very hard to believe the FO creates the lineups. I can't think of one lineup where I thought it was very "sabr", but I also do think the front office isn't as hyper analytical as people say they are.
Had Seager in that 2 spot for a while, can argue that he's the best, and then Adrian 4th and Chase 1st sort of matches up. 3 spot going to Turner as much as it has this year was definitely saying it matters less, garbage as he's been Lol But now it's all screwed up with Turner in the 2 hole, terrible, so yeah
