    I can understand that jv wants Maldonado to catch but damn there is no reason Mancini should be on the bench.
    Freaking dusty baker man.

    Trey can’t play CF. Looking at who has played CF in 2022 it’s Chaz or Dubon or JaKe. That’s who the Astros are going with the rest of 2022. Not sure why Click didn’t trade for an upgrade in CF? Maybe no choices?

    Not sure how Mancini fits in other than to give someone a day off. If he were a CF that would have been great.

    I really, really hope Dusty doesn't do a Gurriel or Mancini thing where he never plays them both in the same lineup.

    Yuli is hitting .500 vs Plesac and been hot.

    OF defense is priority with JV on the mound.

    Chas needs to be playing nearly everyday, as he will be the everyday CF in the playoffs.

    Dubon gets rewarded for great catch yesterday with a start.

    I bet Trey gets more starts at MMP than on road and he is a better bat on the bench for Chas or Dubon if needed late.

    The sky isn't falling.

    Let's set the table for a 4 games sweep with early runs.

    JV is a fly ball pitcher. Cleveland OF is massive. Mancini is incredibly slow.

    But, sure, Dusty is a moron.

    Yordan has never played left field while JV has pitched before?

    Yordan in left and Mancini at DH?

    Nvm you’re right Dusty is an experienced World Series winner.

    I am surprised that Meyers is sitting for a 2nd day in a row.

    I think they are determining if Dubon can handle being #2 CF and if so, Chas gets most starts and they send Jake to AAA or IL.

    Dubon hasn't been much better but at least he can throw.

    Looks like Click is going to have to move Straw so that Dusty won't troll him by starting Straw every single day. ooops that was last season

    Mancini needs to start as much as possible.

    I like the nickname "Indians" so much better than "Guardians" which is a dorky name.

    Damn looked like Tucker was just starting to turn the corner. Really hope it's not COVID.
