Inciarte was great leading off in 17. Had a rough 18 till after all star break. He can hit .300 and .360 lead off and will be fine. I would go Inciarte oz donelson freeman acuna mark flowers Dansby. Speed up top then 3,4,5 and till end you don’t have righty or lefties back to back. Acuna and donelson could switch at 3 and 5 and marky doesn’t start against tough lefties and Duvall has to make a difference. You could go Dansby in flowers spot and McCann 8th. Will come down to good starting pitching. Still need a close out closer. The O will score runs. What speed with inciarte oz and acuna

Freeman wants to bat 3rd so I don't see that changing. The announcers mentioned a oouple of times last year that you put him at 3rd and figure it out from there.

Ender was more of a factor on the bases than Acuno if that's what you are looking for out of your leadoff

Not true at all. As someone mentioned Acuna put way more pressure on the defense and Ender ran us out of rallies too many times. Ender had a rough year. Hopefully he bounces back some.

Snit has a tough call on the lineup because so many have a favorite spot to bat. I don't think we will see the same power from Acuna this year. It's normal to have a slight regression anyway in his second year and his power jumped out batting leadoff. If he isn't leadoff and bats somewhere else most of the season then I am guessing. 280 BA and 22 to 24 home runs.

You don’t have to click. Nothing is going to happen football wise at 11:30 on a Tuesday night worth discussing.

I 100% agree with you.

I get more pissed off at the bitchy whiners than I do people talking about other topics this time of year.

There were very few pages yesterday, and if not for the BB talk, there wouldn't have been much more than a 100 posts all freakin day...

I get it during the season, but now? They just come off like entitled pricks griping about it.

Since I learned in the "sensitivity training forum" this week that threatening to throat punch someone is hurtful, I will not play with anyone's emotional well being. But please know, for all this baseball talk, this must become your fate...

My bad, thought this was the football thread. Thought off-topic was a few doors down...

Serious question...if you go to the "Off Topic" forum and click on one of the "topic listed/ titled" threads, at what point are you no longer in the "Off Topic" forum🤔? Or is it the assumption that you go into that specifc thread and talk about something off topic from the thread's title?🤪🤕

He's not our worse hitter. That is a crazy take. Also a good 2 hitter because he has speed and is a lefty to hit in the hole and can bunt and hit and run and move hitters along and gets on base for the big bats. No one is saying he should bat 4th. I don't think you have a great grasp of the flow of a lineup. When he was getting on base he lead off. When he was struggling at the beginning of the year, he was moved down. You don't run the same lineup anymore for 162 games. He hit over .319 vs lefties in 16 and .291 vs lefties in 17 and had about the same average vs lefties and right handers last year but can hit and never will hit lefties. He struggled at the beginning of the year last year. In the second half he hit .302 with a .345 on base and a .448 slug for an ops that was .794 in the second half. He scored 85 runs and stole 28 bases.

THOSE ARE FACTS. YOUR OPINIONS ABOUT HIM ARE YOUR OPINIONS. Look up the numbers on our absolute horrible All Star Gold Glove CF.

I'm about 6 pages behind and am curious how bass responds to facts that blow his argument out of the water. It will literally be like a fish out of water.

Took the red line many a times to Addison with my grandparents. My grandfather and I would go to the game. My grandmother would continue on and go shopping on State street and meet back up with us at Addison after the game. Great memories, long time ago.
