Probably the best possible lineup. No Aguilar and no Odor.

Hays and McKenna are a wash at this point. Would be fine with them in an L/R platoon role with McKenna pinch-hitting against a lefty reliever in the 7th or later, pinch running in the 7th or later (if Hays gets on against a righty reliever) or coming in defensively regardless by the 9th inning.

I'd rather see McKenna than Hays right now.  But you're right, no Aguilar and Odor so it's still good.

Now let's score a bunch so this lineup looks justified

I expect if a lefty is on the mound for McKenna to hit for Stowers later in game. 

Stowers has had reverse splits at the minor league level each of the last two seasons. If just for defensive purposes, I could see McKenna replacing Stowers rather than Hays though.

Thing is he never starts vs LHP. 
 

I hope we have a lead late to see what happens.

Yeah, they are making a bad decision when they sit him against lefties. Stowers should be starting every day. There is no reason to think he is worse than Hays or (especially) Aguilar against lefties and he should get the experience.

Gotta bring the bats versus the LHP.  Hopefully this is a get right game some of our RH batters.  I like Aguilar tonight.  

[eddie83]

I figured McKenna would start. 

Thought they may keep Mullins over Aguilar. 
 

Rest is what I expected.

Didn't Mullins get hit in the hand last night? Could be resting that with the off day tomorrow

Yep.  That and the fact that he sucks against lefties this year while McKenna has hit them very well, made it a really easy decision for Hyde.

[Moose Milligan]

Last time I bitched about a lineup I think they scored a bunch of runs. So, shows what I know. 
 

But, like, I really want to.

What's our record when Aguilar starts?

[sportsfan8703]

Is Toronto throwing Haitch?  If they are throwing a RHP, this should be the line up…

1. Mullins CF L

2. Adley C S

3. Gunnar 3B L (IT’S TIME)

4. Santander DH S

5. Mountcastle 1B R (Kills the Jays)

6. Urias 2B R

7. Stowers L RF

8. Hays R LF

9. Mateo R SS

Maybe ditch Stowers for Aguilar, and adjust the positions. Aguilar had some good ABs last night.
