I dunno, he did pinch hit in yesterday's loss and drove the only run in.

I am scratching my head, man, I don’t understand these decisions. It’s almost like Galaxy Brain Keefe over there. It’s not hard, put your best/hottest hitters out there as much as possible.

But it brings up the theory, how much input does he have in setting the lineup?

Because on a struggling offensive team, if you get a 10 run outburst with a certain lineup, you should try to repeat it especially trying to win your first series in a long time. But nope they reverse back to non-hitting Springer in leadoff and take Jano out of the lineup for freakin Vogelbach who is useless as tits on a bull.

If this was all run by spreadsheets, you’d get an entirely different lineup than what he’s doing.

Discoverer’s mentioned it before, but the fact that the lineup drastically changed in optimization when Schneider came in after Montoyo is direct evidence that the manager has some sway.
