Re: 2018 Regular Season Thread
I wonder if Austin and Wade will be in a platoon with with Walker playing 2B v lefties and 1B v righties.

Tangentially related to the Yankees, just saw Lindgren is having TJS again. I feel bad for him

Re: 2018 Regular Season Thread
I like the lineup. Even the bottom of the order is quite respectable.

This makes me feel like a kid on Christmas eve again, its a similar feeling, hard to sleep knowing tomorrow you get to unpack the presents. The excitement, the anticipation, its like Xmas eve for adults.

I'd say most of us were excited to start last year, but no one expected the season to go as it did.
Now, look at this 2013 Opening day linup....

Eduardo Nunez, SS
Robinson Cano, 2B
Kevin Youkilis, 1B
Vernon Wells, LF
Ben Francisco, DH
Ichiro Suzuki, RF
Jayson Nix, 3B
Francisco Cervelli, C
Yikes...

Re: 2018 Regular Season Thread
How so? Against LHP, Girardi would regularly start a RHH heavy lineup.
On June 8th against David Price, his starting lineup was:
Gardner
Hicks
Judge
Holiday
Castro
Sanchez
Didi
Headley
Carter
Eight RHH, with only Didi as a LHH. Once he batted, the lineup went eight RHH before a LHH.Forgive me for taking the Contrarian view

Re: 2018 Regular Season Thread
Definitely don't think Gardner should be leading off against a lefty.
Ideally that changes as time goes on.Calmer than you are

Re: 2018 Regular Season Thread
Hopefully, Gardner won't be in the leadoff spot against many lefties, but he does have the best numbers against Happ out of anyone in the lineup (9/31, 5XBH), so I think his spot in the batting order is justified for tomorrow.

Re: 2018 Regular Season Thread
(other post pointed it out Gardner is LHH) Just want to add. The other point Joe G did was look at the numbers against the opposing pitcher. I think this is why we see Gardner leading off against Happ (300) but I do like seeing Gardy lead off opening day. We should see Hicks leading off against LHP a lot in the future.

We're in big trouble if we miss Castro.
