Vaughn

Moncada

Hernandez

Leury

Zavala

Pls TLR

I really like this lineup, though I think it's pretty apparent that TLR is resting Tim for the entirety of the indoor turf series to rest/protect his legs. I'll be surprised if we see him today, but I fully expect him back for the cubs series.

I anticipate the following

Wednesday Night (Vs. LH Starter): 

  1. SS Anderson
  2. 2B Hernandez #
  3. 1B Abreu
  4. LF Jimenez
  5. 3B Moncada #
  6. CF Robert 
  7. DH Vaughn 
  8. RF Garcia#
  9. C Collins 

Bench: Goodwin; Lamb; Mendick; Zavala.

Thursday Afternoon (Vs. LH Starter): (WTF Lineup Day, Rodon is a strikeout guy or "Deal with it Dallas" Keuchel lineup, Rest trumps platoons)

  1. CF Goodwin ^
  2. 2B Hernandez #
  3. 1B Abreu
  4. DH Jimenez 
  5. LF Vaughn
  6. 3B Garcia #
  7. C Zavala (only because there is a day game after a night game, otherwise he remains in the doghouse for not reading Tony's mind on Tuesday)
  8. RF Lamb ^
  9. SS Mendick

Bench: Anderson; Collins; Moncada; Robert. (And they will not go in unless someone's arm and/or leg are literally laying on the ground). 

Expecting a lot of Thursday rest for the day after night, plus astro turf, plus customs and airplane flight.

Really need Moncada or Robert at 2 spot until Hernandez can get on a roll. i think Moncada HAS to be #2 come playoffs and have Robert after Grandal at 6 spot to get the most of each skillset. 

How about Moncada against righties and Robert against lefties?

vs RHP, I really like TA, Moncada, Jose, Eloy, Grandal, Robert, Vaughn, Hernandez, Goodwin/Engel

I've been back and forth vs LHP. I was originally thinking Moncada 2nd and Robert 5th, but maybe now I'm leaning more toward Robert 2nd and Grandal or Vaughn 5th.

While LR would be optimal 2nd vs. LHP, though I can't see Tony going with four straight RH hitters (TA, LR, JA, EJ).

He'll likely want Grandal fifth as well not to bunch up three straight RH only hitters, whereas I rather see him bat sixth.

My optimal lineup would be every game except C rest when needed and no platoon beyond flipping the 2nd and 5th spots:

My preferred Playoff Lineup:

  1. SS Anderson
  2. 3B Moncada (R) or CF Robert (L)
  3. 1B Abreu
  4. DH Jimenez
  5. CF Robert (R) or 3B Moncada (L)
  6. C Grandal
  7. LF Vaughn
  8. 2B Hernandez
  9. RF Engel

Tony's Likely Playoff Lineup

  1. SS Anderson
  2. 3B Moncada #
  3. 1B Abreu
  4. DH/LF Jimenez
  5. C/DH Grandal # (if DH & Eloy in LF, Vaughn sits)
  6. CF Robert
  7. LF Vaughn
  8. 2B Hernandez # or Garcia #
  9. RF Goodwin^ or Garcia # (R); Engle or Garcia # (L)

Tbf, he's started rage-posting about the "Chicago Hockey Team" (what he calls the Blackhawks) in another part of the board, so he has been diversifying his outrage lately from just the White Sox.
