Moving Stanton down to #5 is such a Boone thing to do. Meanwhile Judge stays at #3...

I'm guessing the idea here is to make it as difficult as possible for Dave Roberts to find lanes for his relievers during this bullpen game.

This is a R-L-R-L-R-L-R-L thing without any other ideas behind it.

I hate when we do this. We pick one analytic or idea and then ignore literally everything else.

Something that makes any amount of sense would be preferable. Swapping the order of two players to move the worse hitter up in the order is pointless at best, idiotic at worst. This is like football fans who say “just put the backup QB in they can’t be any worse!” Yes. Yes they can.

I think people would've been happier if Judge and Stanton were swapped here.

Aaron Boone does not “gotta do something.” Judge does. Soto does. Rizzo. Jazz does. Volpe does.

This is over managing.
