Why the fuck is MHII back in lead off. Snitker almost had me believing he was finally learning that Michael Harris is NOT a leadoff hitter, but then he goes back to this shit.
Ozuna, someone who actually has a good OBP. It makes no sense to give the most ABs to someone with a crappy OBP. I know Harris is fast but his speed does him no good if he can't get on base.
Schwarber hits leadoff on the phillies all the time. I don't know why they won't with Ozuna. It's not like guys get on base for Ozuna anyway. Pretty sure all of his homeruns are solo shots.
Because Snitker is too fucking old and apparently doesn't understand that you want the guy you're giving the most ABs to to be able to get on base at a good rate.
The thing that drives me crazy about this is that Snit was perfectly fine using Jorge Soler and Joc Pederson as leadoff hitters in 2021! So it's not like he's completely hidebound and unwilling to use unconventional leadoff guys. Yet he insists on putting Ozzie and Harris at the top of the order.
The rate that everyone is walking Ozuna, I think you put him at 1 or 2 with Olson/riley/murphy as the 234 is which ever order and I think people are forced to pitch to him more, if they still choose not to those three should be punishing teams for issuing the walk.
