So I finally am able to get my whole family to a game and we don't have Bergman or Gurriel (understandably) and Goodrum is batting 3rd ... FML!!

Honestly, he has a .700 ops career. He's not above average, but he's also not Robel. Third isn't a great spot for him but it's one game.

Wouldn't we agree that is the spot he would receive the most protection to possibly see better pitches?
I think the spot he sees the most pitches he's capable of hitting is somewhere deep in the bowels of the minor leagues
Goodrum has almost a 40% career strikeout rate against righties

Forget where you are?
Dusty Baker said Lance McCullers Jr. is close to throwing a baseball, maybe next week. "He's not far from throwing," he said.

He's throwing adjacent.
Goodrum won't be as bad as Robel or Tyler White. But honestly I just don't like the idea of sitting an everyday starter in game 3 of the season.
If we were playing 6-7 days in a row then yeah maybe sit him game 6. But not when he's super hot and you just had 3 days off to start the week

Having him hit 3 is the atrocity here. So we want goodrum to have more at bats than tucker?!?! Wtf
I really enjoy keeping up with this thread about 80% of the time. The constant and insufferable *****ing about the lineup is already growing from 20% to like 60% of this threads activity.

Tends to happen when you bat someone like Goodrum 3rd in his first game ... dont care if it works out and he hits 3 HRs...not a smart move
You Must be new here 
. Anytime dusty sits someone we will have at least 20-30 posts about it

Dusty is gonna do whatever he's gonna do but he proved last year that when it's nut cutting time he's gonna get it right.
I'm not sweating the lineup of game 3 of 162.

Relax it's a long season. Everyone *****ed about lineups last year and once we got to the playoffs Dusty made out the lineups to Texag's approval. He might just have some inside info regarding the players health, etc. when making decisions.

Not a smart move to win game 3 of 162. But it's a long ass season, and every game isn't a must win. Lots of other goals and objectives through the year. I don't know why he's doing it and, quite frankly, don't give a **** why
Maybe this has already been posted but the Astros have the free game of the day on mlb.com.

So by putting the lineup together in a decent way is treating it as must win? Seems like the minimum expectation for a manager.

Made it look harder and easier than it needed to be.
Last of fastballs this inning. Velo averaging 95.
Mike Trout vs Justin Verlander#WeBelieve
— Would it dong? (@would_it_dong) April 10, 2022
Flyout 💢
Exit velo: 105.8 mph
Launch angle: 43 deg
Proj. distance: 386 ft
This would have been a home run in 8/30 MLB ballparks
HOU (0) @ LAA (0)

High cheese.
JV looking like the JV of old thus far.
The approach vs Thor seems to be swing early in the AB. We are not making him throw very many pitches
Nice AB by the kid.
Vintage JV giving up solo HRs early in the game
Yep. He's back in full form
Yep, like I said… the JV of old.
good **** Castro
JV with the 4 strike K of Ohtani and Ohtani wanted to argue it. Sit down, beotch.
Goodrum shouldn't be batting 3rd but definitely not as bad as Robel, which is Icelandic for garbage.
Going to the 5th inning and our best hitting has been up once.
Noah Syndergaard has pitched 2 scoreless innings on 25 pitches.
— Jeff Fletcher (@JeffFletcherOCR) April 10, 2022
Again, his limit will be 75-80.#Angels and Astros are 0-0, bottom 2.
Thor is currently at 56 pitches. Need to work some counts in the 5th to get him out of the game
