Crappy lineup .. Hays, Mateo, Cowser and McCann

I simply don't get the hate when Hays is in the lineup vs a lefthanded pitcher.   He is one of our best hitters vs LHP.

After the YES guys told us that Stroman is a GB pitcher and the Rays are GB hitters, leadoff HR off Stroman followed by three fly balls/line drives to the OFs. Stroman sinker not sinking, it appears.

NYYs loaded the bases with one out, didn't score.   1-0 TB after the first.

I think his RH bat vs Leftys makes him an asset right now. Although I believe Mayo could replace that production

Yeah, what could possibly be the basis on which Hays (.788 career OPS vs LHPs) should play against lefties over the likes of O’Hearn (.543), Mullins (.661), or Cowser (.664)?

I absolutely agree Mayo could replace Hays offensive production.   But probably not his OF defense.  

But we have other guys Mayo could improve on, such as Urias.   Can't believe Mayo won't be up soon.

Something wrong with Urias?

I'm going hug watch until I hear otherwise.

Zero mention of Ramon tonight on the broadcast, no shots of him in the dugout. Wagner spent a whole 5 minutes talking about Gunnar being a late addition to the lineup and Westburg taking grounders at 3rd before the game WITHOUT somehow ever mentioning Urias. 

Really bizarre. Or just terrible broadcasting.

This was baffling to me too. Several mentions of Gunnar getting the “emergency start,” but absolutely no reference to what the “emergency” consisted of.

Or just even basic info like who he subbed in for. Bizarre.

He was scratched earlier in series too in 1st game so must be some issues he is having.

I do expect him to be traded soon.  The Braves lost Albies with what sounds like a broken wrist today and are very thin at 2nd so could be option for them.
