Do not see how anyone can possibly think that batting Garcia is a good idea, and the way to win games. Just idiotic!!

As opposed to Bears fans chanting fire Nagy at a high school game with his wife and kids there?

Fans do dumb things when it catches on.

They also chanted it at Bears games.. with his wife and kids there

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.

Awesome, Garcia is back up to the top. Just leave him at the bottom where he isn't too bad

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.

Agree Vaughn should be playing both games.  What is Moncada's issue now? Is he not playing either game today?  I suppose TA, Robert & Grandal will sit game 2 but somehow Abreu will play both.

Leury is hot so batting him second makes sense.  He will drive in taz

He also hasn't had a walk in his last 30 games  so he can do that from the bottom of the order. Top of the order should be reserved for on base guys.

He does have a nice smile but I wouldn't call him hot.

 

Curious 

Wow.

Donaldson does seem to be in the lineup for those wondering.

Thought the Yankees would bench him ? 

Damn now Tim is out of the lineup WTELF  ( what the ever lovin' fuck )

Tlot Phickens

 

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

I expect nothing less from that cesspool of a fan base.

Come on, shouldn’t we give them the “benefit of the doubt” just like their well-meaning Josh Donaldson?

So Moncada was good to go, but the old man needed a resting game.

Did the coaching staff catch wind that Donaldson was playing game 1 but not game 2 and decided to diffuse any potential confrontation?

If that's the case, it's absolutely ridiculous. Why sit your best hitter just to appease the guy who stirred the pot? 

Why the fuck is it the starters can’t play 18 innings but Leury & Harrison can??

TLR again fails a test

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.
