Nimmo in the five hole is a bit odd to me. And I’m really uncomfortable with Vientos doing anything other than being a DH at best right now. Man, I’m nervous for this one.
i thought we were saving the punting for tomorrow
Nimmo has a higher career wRC+ against LHP than Sterling Marte, and he’s also not 36 lol. I do not get Marte leadoff. Your leadoff hitter is the most likely to get an extra PA every game. Do you really want that to be Starling Marte? And what if the pitcher is right handed in the 9th lol? Yanks just had this happen yesterday leaving judge in the on deck circle.
Neither Nimmo nor Marte have a great wRC+ against LHP this year but the sample is really tiny so I don’t think criticizing Mendy for Marte having poor wRC+ against LHP this year would be fair. But Nimmo is just the better hitter against LHP and he’s still in his prime. Marte has done his best for us this year but there’s no denying his decline.

I don’t get taking Nimmo out of leadoff.
If it ain’t broke…
Mark, baby, prove me wrong…
