Mokena94 30 Posted May 22 Do not see how anyone can possibly think that batting Garcia is a good idea, and the way to win games. Just idiotic!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Sacamano 3,021 Posted May 22 (edited) They have a 3-man bench currently and Moncada currently seems banged up. It sucks but they don’t have a lot of options unfortunately. Having said that, Vaughn should be in both games and Leury should be nowhere near the top. Edited May 22 by Bob Sacamano Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigHurt3515 1,244 Posted May 22 Awesome, Garcia is back up to the top. Just leave him at the bottom where he isn't too bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CWSpalehoseCWS 862 Posted May 22 Garcia has a HR and a 2B in his only two career AB’s against Taillon. I’m guessing that’s why he’s up so high. Small sample size, but he’s had success in the past against him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose TA, Robert & Grandal will sit game 2 but somehow Abreu will play both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Green Line 686 Posted May 22 Leury is hot so batting him second makes sense. He will drive in taz 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top of the order should be reserved for on base guys. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeKreevich 30 Posted May 22 I effen hate this line-up. Unless something happened with TA he should be playing and probably raking. So much wrong, Pollock following Abreu , Moncada and Garcia at the top, Pollock instead of Vaughn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chick Mercedes 466 Posted May 22 So Moncada was good to go, but the old man needed a resting game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree if there is any game Tim should be playing it's the game after yesterday. It looks like you are backing down and taking your best player out of the lineup. TLR must go. Can't imagine this was Tim's idea. I don't usually complain about lineups but Tim's presence makes a statement and so does his absence . We are not going to back down from intolerance or we are backing down from intolerance and allow ourselves to be victimized.
