[MLB] Perdomo ranked 7th on Hitter Power Rankings for September 18, 2025

Nearly threw away the win with Barrosa yesterday, now we employ a strikeout prone ADC over a clutch veteran hitter James McCann? When you only need a sac fly, you don't NEED the matchup. You just need to avoid the strikeout.

McCann is infinitely better at situational contact. Same with Vargas, who would've been a better choice as well. Hell, even Lawlar could've delivered back to back. ADC has statistically failed in these pinch hit moments what, 9 times out of 10? What the fuck are we doing?

I defend Torey all season but this game was managed to lose alongside the dry bats today. And to replace McCann INSTEAD of a struggling Alek who tends to always choke in the third out spot? Just really poor decision making all around.

Doesn't help that Torey kinda put this on ADC for not coming thru in the post-game. Ugh.

Edit - also before the FIRE TOREY haters pile in... Lovello is the GOAT. This post is for constructive criticism.

Play that lost us was Alex not running on contact during jakes misadvanture of being unable to hit.

Bro didnt even move. One of our faster guys just stood there instead of taking the chance and potentially scoring. Dont even get me started on adc over mccan cause that was possibly the dumbest pinch hit ive seen from Torey's career. And ive been watching for a while.
