I mentioned it yesterday, but the bottom line is that we're leaps and bounds better when Altuve starts:
Altuve Starts: 89-38
Altuve Does Not Start: 10-14
For comparison:
Yordan Starts: 81-42
Yordan Does Not Start: 18-10
Now I'm not saying Yordan isn't currently our most valuable player, he is, but the team feels different when Altuve is not in the lineup.

Judge is the only reason they held on to 1st place. |

Judge is the only reason they held on to 1st place. Looking at the Altuve splits you posted, you understand why his teammates want him to bat first. And why Judge bats leadoff now

Actually I got it wrong. The team is 90-38 when Altuve starts. 9-14 when he doesn't.

Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of him being the primary leadoff hitter when Springer left, but it's hard to argue with the results. |

Altuve 2B
Pena SS
Yordan LF
Bregman 3B
Gurriel 1B
Yainer DH
Mancini RF
Chas CF
Maldonado C
I don't get the obsession with batting Yuli 5th... Hopefully Altuve back in there lights a spark.

Mancini in RF. That should be interesting. I don't know that it means much, but he's hit his best during his career when he plays RF. It's the only position where he has an OPS over .800 (.837). |

The more I see what they have in CF, the more I think they should just play Tucker out there. Take the hit on defense and just see what you’ve got on offense. The pitching can handle it, I feel.

That's what I've been saying. Tucker would be, at worst, an average defensive CFer. At this point, they should leave Chas and Dubón on the bench as pinch hitters/runners or as defensive replacements. You strengthen the team in two areas that way. |

I don’t know why Altuve would take a chance like that at the very beginning of the game. Makes no sense.

There. A patented Yuli groundout. Altuve would have been stranded at second if he didn't try.

If he makes it, he scores on the Bregman flyout. He already had scoring position. He didn’t need to get so greedy so early unless he has no faith in the guys behind him. |
