    Meyers is now batting .308 with a .787 OPS. Definitely wouldn't have predicted that coming back from injury.

    ....he'll strike out but the ump didn't notice, so he draws a walk, just like I predicted.

    Yup, that's pretty much what should be expected from a lead off hitter with a .580 OPS

    I don't think he's gotten back all his power. I imagine he couldn't really hit the weights until recently.

    Is Dubon leading off better or worse than Goodrum and Robel in the 2 hole?

    Good choice making Dubon the leadoff.

    So Dubon is basically Aledmys Díaz who can’t hit. Great pickup.

    You want to have your worst and second worst hitter batting back to back.....but usually it's in the 8 and 9 hole.

    Better than pitching Abreu multiple innings a day after he threw 22 mediocre pitches.

    Dusty is a genius, he knows the win streak is weighing heavily on the minds of the team, so he's doing all he can to end that streak.

    That's the best spin I can come up with.
