  3. No, via the analytics, the #1 spot in the lineup is the most valuable spot in the lineup and your best hitter SHOULD be there and to get them as many bats as possible.. anyone arguing otherwise is stuck in the old ways of Ohtani should be a 3/4 hitter bc hes a slugger. But ohtani hits for avg, power, and gets on base. hes DIFFERENT.

  4. Kirsten Watson.. I HATE the games she announces. I can not stand her. Not bc its a woman but bc of the stuff she says and that she seems to just be there and interrupts all the time. She is almost as annoying as the A's new head broadcaster.
