i wonder why teams still go "oldschool" on lineups
and nobody really builds a lineup according to modern optimization, basically meaning dont put your best hitter in the 3 hole.

"Well Suzyn, in life all good things come to an end."- John Sterling
I honestly think 65% of this team's problems go back to shitty catching.
It has a snowball effect. The pitchers get bothered and try to be too fine. They change their pitch selection. The fielders get on edge. The hitters try to all hit 5 run HRs.
It has to stop. There are no doubt other problems with this team, but this major problem can be fixed very easily andwill go a long way.
