Platoon Ruth and Big Hurt at 1B...

[Mickdrenalen_PSN]

I do this as well. Ruth starts, if its a Left pitcher then Big Frank comes in.

Thomas is my Favorite player of all time... he was benched for Ruth. I still platoon every now and then but Ruth is just to good

[casedogg310_PSN]

I do this with Posey and Ruth. I’m a giants fan so I want to get posey into games but I mainly need him to face a lefty

[Spyacht_PSN]

I have both and I can tell you that Frank is still a gold glover, and he also kills righty. Use babe tho because of balancing the lineup.

[ChuckCLC_PSN]

That sounds silly. Platooning is for a player(s) that dont hit the other handiness well. These guys KILL there same side pitching. Not to mention I personally hit Lefty on Lefty better than I do righty on lefty. So I would be much more dangerous with Ruth up and a lefty pitching than Thomas. If you kept one or the other on the bench to PH later in the game I can see that. But if Ruth or Thomas was due up in the first or 2nd inning no way I pull one or the other because of who is on the mound. That is a waste.

i platoon both! i think its kinda funny ppl get stunned when i bring in hurt off the bench its like a hit to the gut he plays first very well for me

[SchnauzerFace_PSN]

Anyone else think they tweaked Frank’s swing this year? I’m hitting much more consistently in 20 than in 19, but I’m not getting as much power as I remember last year. I think I only have 5 or 6 HRs but I’m hitting well over .400 because he’s sort of been a singles machine. Not complaining because I love frank and I’m going to use him either way, but I’m just curious how others have been doing in 20 vs 19.

[high-heat-27_PSN]

I agree! This year he has less power its weird! I've hit better with him higher avg but less homeruns!

Ruth. I sold Frank to buy back Larry Walker. 100k stubs was too much to have on my bench as a platoon bat....

I have Castellanos to take an AB against LHP if I’m struggling with babe. He plays 1B secondary, he has massive power against both sides and was free because I didn’t sell my Topps now cards so I didn’t have to use stubs to unlock him

At this point of the game, I find it super challenging to make a lineup. There’s about 25 position players I enjoy using, or would like to use, that are currently in my possession.

Yeah my lineup is so stacked right now I had no spot for Frank so I grinded events out 2 weeks ago and got the stats with Frank for prestige so now I start Ruth and bring Frank off the bench to platoon
