Is it fair to say that Maddon is choosing to play La Stella over Coughlan, which means he has to move Bryant to the outfield?
Probably over Soler or Jackson - maybe Cogs - but they move Bryant - I think it likely has to do with the matchups and gives him flexibility throughout the game. A little worried that Rizzo won't get anything to hit with TLS hitting behind him.
My assumption is simply that he wants left handed bats in the lineup so it was ultimately a choice between Coughlan and La Stella.
