Okay, maybe Knoblauch should not have been leading off (though his OBPs were usually pretty good). <br /><br />But after that; Jeter, Bernie, Paulie, Tino, the DH/LF, or some combination thereof. With Posada moving up a little later. The idea was one hitter after another you couldn't escape...

I mean, if every other batter in the Yankees' lineup hits exactly the same then, yeah, batting him first makes the most sense.<br /><br />But if, say, there is an extreme drop-off in batters 7-9, or 6-9....which, ahem, there IS...then it doesn't make sense. <br /><br />I want him in the three spot—especially when Stanton is in the lineup (always an unknown, I realize!). <br />HoraceClarke66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16965472730239358589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-48626876995031771022022-05-28T00:47:34.879-04:002022-05-28T00:47:34.879-04:00Icing on the cake, Orioles, down by six, scored te...Icing on the cake, Orioles, down by six, scored ten unanswered runs from the seventh inning on to beat the fucking Red Sox 12-8!

Judge hitting second will rarely make a difference in abs, he should hit second so that at least he gets an occasional shot at a game opening two-fer. Personally I believe in him batting third, but the software says otherwise.
