2021 Houston Astros Thread

I think managers get a little too clever this time of year with the shuffling of lineups.  Put your best lineup together based on the pitcher (beyond lefty or righty, as in, can we run on this guy, or is he primarily a fastball pitcher, etc) and let them go to work.  The "shaking things up" approach always struck me as superstition or as a way for a manager to take credit when a team that's a little due busts out of it.

I refuse to believe that Biggio and Bagwell struggled in the playoffs because the manager didn't pull the right strings.  That's as silly as giving the manager credit for Springer and Altuve in 2017.  Some guys perform under pressure and some don't, and it barely makes a shit what order you bat them.
