    Enjoyed the (rare) win yesterday! Incoming shutout on offense today as the curse of 10 runs continues. Let's pray.

    Feels like we are heading back to Dubon as the (objectively inferior) personal CF for multiple pitchers, and Cartini as personal C for at least one.

    Dubon needs to be the personal second baseman for super groundballer Framber, particularly against a LHP. He actually provides a significant defensive upgrade there. Altuve can DH, Diaz (or Altuve occasionally) can get a day off.

    Instead we have lesser defense at 2 positions, and both of our CF options who traditionally hit lefties well are on the bench.

    Espada hasn't proven to be any better at playing matchups than Dusty was, maybe even worse...which was the one thing I was excited about with a new manager. We just got a less charismatic version of Dusty.

    Grateful for Framber's return, but it's hard to believe a couple weeks rest will solve an elbow issue.

    Hope he's strong and not being rushed back.

    I seriously doubt there was any elbow issue, whatsoever. He had a panic attack imo.

    Exactly what the Duster would do. I swear his hands are still on the helm.

    I don’t get it. Javier can come off the IL Tuesday what is Tags talking about? It’s 15 days and it’s retroactive- what am I missing?

    The only thing is, Chas this year hasn't looked good so far at the plate against righties or lefties.
