Hopefully, he sticks with the 8 position players he's used so far. I could live with Gorman at DH tomorrow.
Lil Juan you definitely couldn't do better.

I have no issue with a get away lineup when you win the first 2 of a 3 game series. If you continue winning these series, you end up with 100+ wins, while giving role and bench players exposure and others some rest.
No one needs rest the 3rd game of season with 68F weather….unless injured.

I'd slot Gorman in for the Bison,

Flip/Flop WillyC & Donovan.

If you have a team that is rolling through the season, I agree. But this team needs to build momentum. Keep it the same early.

Keeping it the same (position players),for today would be better. Let's see if they do. Only substitution I'd consider is Gorman at DH.

If the lineup has multiple changes, then yes, I could do better.

Team needs to see what it has in many players. Took the first two, play some of the others. UniKKKorn and Baker.
