Description

BT and Sal delivered their own fiery projected lineup for Game 2, completely rejecting the analytically-driven "platoon" approach that kept star left-handed hitters Ben Rice and Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the bench in Game 1. With the Yankees facing elimination, they argued for ditching the data and prioritizing the team's best, most explosive bats against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. They specifically called for Rice to hit high in the order, potentially second, believing the fear he instills in the opposing pitcher is more valuable than any left-on-right matchup data, demanding the Yankees stop overthinking and start putting their best players on the field to simply win.
