That was... Doesn't look like you grabbed a cowboy hat, does it?
I would like a list of what the nerds say positionally, what matters the most.
And I would depend on your home stadium.
So a very Yankees view, right field does not matter.
Yes.
Yeah, but I would like kind of a general list because, like, having amazing defense at right field isn't a crazy perk to me.
Well, if you have a contingent of your lineup that is doing it as a unit.
Yes.
If you got just one dude like IKF trying to do it, but no one around him is helping him because they can't run or put the ball in play, that's not good.
Everyone likes to think that you're talking about nine guys when you have these conversations.
They're like, strikeouts, oh yeah, strikeouts matter.
Well, look at Judge and fucking like James Wood.
I'm like, okay, well, at the top of the order, yes.
Get your A swing off and we don't care about strikeouts.
But I want my 7, 8, 9 guy striking out the same amount that Judge is.
That's ridiculous.
Some people are.
Every time I say this, people still disagree.
Yeah.
I'm going with Langoliers because the offense is so much better.
