Haven’t their bad lineups the last few months lead to a lot of bad losses? I know the joke was that bad lineups would lead to a shocking high total of runs, but that hasn’t been true of late.

Lineups will be posted when they are available, and they will 100% contain TA, willing it to happen! Sorry you were unable to will Tim into existence. The only thing I felt was 100% certain was Collins starting after Tony’s temper tantrum last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the joke was that bad lineups would lead to a shocking high total of runs, but that hasn’t been true of late. But this isn't a badly constructed lineup, unless you have some problem with the order that I have overlooked. You can argue that Vaughn might be marginally better than Lamb even with a righty on the mound, but that's about it. Having Vaughn in our back pocket when Toronto tries to go lefty lefty could be helpful too. Zavala is super shaky behind the plate (Collins is yikes too admittedly). Hernandez needs a day off. And Tim Anderson is hurt. I don't think La Russa is the villain here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Hernandez needs a day off. Wait, they are giving Hernandez a day off? WTF? Vaughn is horrible with 2 outs and RISP. Why isn’t Vaughn in the line up in a run producing spot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And catcher is a black hole until Yaz comes back. I just don’t want lineups where 2 regulars are out at a time when everyone is back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well 13, now, but before Leury's activation, it was absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney.adam Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) I wonder how the board would react if we had this lineup everyday. 2nd Hernandez, 3rd Moncada SS Mendick, 1st Vaughn, DH Lamb, CF Goodwin, RF Garcia, LF Zavala; trying LF, C Collins.
