Looks right.

Except Adley might not lead off when catching.

I will say that if it came down to a decision between Urias or Mateo, I'd rather have Urias at 3B for his defense and have Mateo off the bench as a pinch runner for his speed. There's also a statistic that shows every world series winner of the past so many decades has had the same consistent starting SS through the playoffs. We want to win the Wold Series. Therefore, we should do what is proven to win the world Series and keep Gunnar comfortable as the starting Shortstop rather than move him around each game.

All WS winning teams have also worn cleats.  How about, we all wear cleats AND we manage Mateo like we have all year to cover all our bases?

Clear message that they want Mateos speed off the bench.

This lineup is pretty much what I was expecting with the exception of Mateo. But yes, speed off the bench is clearly what Hyde is doing here

no no and no i hope not

Well I was going with the players that we used most of the season against Left handed starters....use what got us here and treat it like any other game and don't over manage like Hyde did today
