With a runner on 1st, it's a less extreme shift vs him. When he was batting leadoff, with nobody on, they would take the SS put him at SS, then take the 2B and put him in short right..with somoene on, they can only move the SS up the middle a bit. Such nonsense from Joe.

One wonders what the actual success rate of runners on 1st stealing on Lester is.

It ain't what the opposing managers think it is.

They take the ss and put him at ss.

Not terribly unusual.

I meant 2B, they would move the SS all the way over and then put 2B in short right.

That's how you do it. Don't even give Maddon the chance to fuck the game up for you.

Baez would be my last choice to lead off.

Moore is a lefty so it also is an offense oriented lineup. Baez and Almora are great against LHP.

I was going to suggest that Baez lead off a week or so ago. He tends to attack the first pitch.

I'm watching. I like Baez's leadoff hit, and Rizzo's 2 HR of course. Hendricks doesn't look quite as sharp tonight, as he has recently. But all he needs to be is good enough.
