ideal playoff lineup?

[podsox]

i know things are looking bleak but what is the best playoff lineup in your opinion? mine-TA, madrigal, abreu, eloy, moncada, grandal, robert, mccann, and engel.

i might switch madrigal and anderson, and mccann and grandal. don't care for two black holes back to back (grandal & moncada).

Not showing up sounds dope.

I seriously don't care.

Again - the same thing happened in 2005. Big losing streak near the end of the season. I'm saying losing now means a World Series this year, but it is not a sign of the end times.

The Sox need to let Gilioto and Keuchel pitch through 7 - then the bull pen balance will be righted with those two. If Dunning is up for the challenge - that could make the Sox winners again in the playoffs.

Assuming we play Mazara/Encarnacion:

TA
Robert
Eloy
Abreu
Moncada
Grandal/McCann
Encarnacion
Mazara
Madrigal

If we play engel and 2 catchers:

TA
Robert
Eloy
Abreu
Moncada
Engel
Grandal
McCann
Madrigal

Im a fan of swinging back to TA with Madrigal at the 9...for now at least. Could also put him and Engel at 6/7 in that second lineup foe more chances for our catching duo to drive some baserunners in before swinging back.

That said, zero chance either of these lineups happen.
