You’re not moving him now. 2nd base is his home. Hence why Kipnis is playing CF now. 

What does this even mean?  Even with Kipnis' injury he still played more innings at 3B this season than second.  He only played 37 innings there last year, there'd be no issue having him play 3rd.

Kipnis at 2nd, Ramirez back at 3rd, and Jackson in the OF. May as well. Gio gives them nothing at this point.

Potentially ruining. It’s not like he has been bad at 3B all series. Just a bad two innings. Sucks but unlucky because he never performs like this

Ok but he had a wRC+ this year of 43.  There's no way his defense at 3rd makes up for that considering we have a perfectly capable 3rd baseman in Ramirez and Kipnis at 2nd.  

Plus Jackson is a better CF than Kipnis.

What does that mean? It means JRam is the full time 2B. The way he has performed and also been valued as the better defender. They are done moving him around

You don’t think Tito knows everything your thinking. 

If they truly wanted to move JRam they would but they made their decision on him. He is the future 2B.

For what its worth the score of game 2 of the 2001 ALDS was 9-2 Yankees.

Also worth noting... 

Game 5 that year was started by Mark Mulder, who finished second in the Cy Young that year, for the As.  The Yankees threw 38-year-old Roger Clemens.

Game 5 this year would be started by Corey Kluber, who may finish second in Cy Young this year, pitching for Cleveland against 37-year-old CC Sabathia for the Yankees.

And where's Kipnis' future?  And who's our 3B of the future?

Kipnis future is a ? Because of his big contract increase going into next season. Hence why there were rumors and ideas made by best reporters about Kipnis maybe getting traded since JRam is the new 2B. Also that’s why Kip was so willing to play in the OF because it gives him another position to play. 

They want Diaz to develop as the 3B. JRam shouldn’t be moved from 2nd

Difference is Clemens was loaded on PEDs. Where CC is loaded on PEZs
