Cliffs: Rays start the same guy on back-to-back days. He pitches ~1 inning each day.

Is the batting order locked in at any point before the game, or could the manager start with 4,5,6 batters if he saw them doing starting the reliever?

manager has to give a written batting order before the game, and is stuck to it.

A crafty manager could have a designated "first-pitch" pitcher who is listed as the starter, comes out and throws one pitch, then comes out for the real starter. That way they never know if you're throwing a lefty or a righty.

Every time the bases are empty they do it to Joey Gallo, who has a very well known pull to right. He's hit into it like five times this season and it's always super lolzy. He must be insanely frustrated he can't go left.

The third baseman is in centerfield and Gallo hits it straight down the middle of the shift.

He can have the same stance, he just needs to orient himself 10 degrees counter clockwise.

In 2017, Gallo batted .209 with 41 home runs. So now, everyone is asking the question that every power hitter hates: "Why don't you just bunt?"

"I'm sure I'll try to lay one down here and there, but it's not like I've been a master bunter all my life," Gallo said, via The Star-Telegram. "Everyone sees the left side of the infield and says, 'Just bunt it. Just bunt it.' It's not that simple."

The reason you don't have Gallo bunt is simple.

First: All of the shifting in the world won't take away a home run. If Jeff Banister had Gallo bunt every time he took the plate, A.J. Hinch doesn't have to worry about that part of the lineup in the same way. Batting Gallo second is as cute as you're going to see Banister get with his best power hitter. Gallo had a .333 OBP last season, not to mention .537 slugging. He had a lot of four-base at-bats. So when you take a pretty bad batting average and mix it with solid slugging, you know where your guy's forte lies.

Second: When's the last time anyone saw Gallo bunt? Sure he probably does it in batting practice, but that's more "get your two out of the way so we can get to the good stuff." When you're taking BP, you treat guys like Gallo differently. He could foul off four in a row, but if you're a manager you eventually shrug and go "good enough." It's not the same as the guy batting first or sixth. With a batter like Gallo, you want him to do what he's good at. The people asking about this are likely the same people asking why Aroldis Chapman doesn't start a game in emergencies. It's not what they're trained to do.

Third: The guy on the mound matters -- something that Gallo himself acknowledged. Against Justin Verlander isn't where you start trying to move out of your comfort zone. "It's not that easy against a guy who is throwing 107 with a ton of movement like Verlander. I don't want to come out of my game to do it. If I bunt and don't reach, it's like 'what the hell are you doing?' It's kind of a lose-lose situation," he said, per SportsDay.

I always thought it would make sense for teams to use their "closer" in the first inning to face the 1-2-3 batters rather than whatever hitters happen to be up in the 9th inning.
