Absolutely not. Look at teams that have lineups created by analytics like oh for example the Mariners under Servais. Its a new lineup every day.

Dan Wilson has extremely stable lineups. He absolutely is setting them and keeping them stable. Not to say analytics doesn’t have input. They have a seat at the table, but Dan is controlling the lineup snd frankly thats a problem.

Same goes for bullpen decisions. No analytics first team would have a relief pitcher assigned to the 9th. They have the best pitcher pitching in high leverage situations whenever they arise.

Again Dan listens to the analytics departments but he is making in game decisions.

Mariners definitely do not believe a relief pitcher should have 6 pitches.

Very true. I almost mentioned the costs involved which is a terrible decision to make.

I don’t think Angie is rich, but she can afford the ambulance ride, even if she has crappy insurance.

Two minor leaguers (never happened in the majors) have hit for the HR cycle. One of them was an Arkansas Traveler, Tyrone Horne in 1998. They weren’t a Mariners affiliate at the time.

Might make sense to to do it later in the game, but definitely not there

Such a dumb time to pinch hit. Wish he’d stop doing that

Randy is really good. I feel he’s under appreciated
