Should Girardi shuffle the lineup?

[Messiah717]

I know it was only one game and it will likely be switched up as the season goes along but I would put Gardner or Roberts in the nine slot. Kelly Johnson has some power so he should he in the seventh hole if my opinion meant anything.

Let's give it a little time and see what happens. In 2 weeks if it is not working then I would make a change.

...when you only have only 6 hits it doesn't really matter...just sayin'.

I was thinking that for the season it just makes more sense.

Last night it was............

Ellsbury
Jeter
Beltran
McCann
Teixiera
Soriano
Gardner
Roberts
Johnson

I thought it should have been......................

Ellsbury
Jeter
Beltran
Soriano
Teixiera
McCann
Johnson
Roberts
Gardner

Rick I like your lineup better. I'm calling Hal to get you to make lineups for Joe.

 

[yankeesince59]

...trust me, we'll have many more chances to second guess the line up this year.

...trust me, we'll have many more chances to second guess the line up this year.

And considering who's managing this team, 3rd guess, 4th guess, 5th guess, etc etc etc.

...rick, I know you don't like him for some reason and you can bash Girardi all you want, but the fact is he held this team together last year and had an abysmal line up in playoff contention until the last week of the season.

Okay, this year I'll try to refrain from putting down Clueless Joe. I will stand on the side line & just soak up the barrage of put downs that I've no doubt will be bestowed upon our great manager during the course of the year from my fellow Yankee fans. I'll be good..............or at least try.

No one is knocking the cover off the ball so what is the need.

 

[Pastafazul]

i think he should shuffle off to buffalo

 

[JeterRules20]

Lineup has been shuffled for today's game...

Yankees lineup at Blue Jays: Gardner 7 Jeter 6 Ellsbury 8 McCann 2 Soriano DH Johnson 3 Roberts 4 Ichiro 9 Solarte 5 Sabathia LHP

 

[yankeesince59]

...considering how hot Solarte has been, and how cold Soriano has been, maybe they should swap spots.

I was thinking the same thing Ron. Hopefully Soriano can break out today. I wonder why Beltran is not in there.

 

[yankeesince59]

...I dunno, but Beltran strangely seems a bit lost at the plate right now.

 

[totus44]

There are a lot of big name guys lost at the plate this time of year...Bryce Harper for example.

 

[yankeesince59]

...Harper is one of the most over-hyped and over-rated players in the game today.
