    So Yuli leads off the bottom of the 9th. Mancini is out of the game.

    The move was to keep Mancini at 1B, and insert Vazquez in the 2-hole to catch. Much rather Christian get the at bat than Yuli.

    Best bullpen eras:

    Astros... 2.64
    Yankees 2.98
    Orioles.. 3.10
    Dodgers 3.17

    Yankees over 3 after today's game.

    I think the cult of Maldonado is absurd and believe he gets a bunch of credit for a staff that would be very very very good with anyone back there. I really wish he was scramblers caddy right now. All that said- he’s actually been pretty damn good with the bat the last 6 weeks and I refuse to sweat 1 shitty hitter in the lineup in the 9 hole.
    I know you were being sarcastic- just used that as a jumping off point to talk about Maldy’s bat recently.

    I honestly have no clue what goes on in Dusty’s brain. His lineup moves literally defy reason. When the bases were loaded and Yuli was up sure af seemes like a better time to PH Mancini. If you’re going to bring Diaz off the bench anyways why wouldn’t you start him over Dubon??

    I get rest days but it’s like Dusty is adverse to simply fielding the best lineup more days than not. It’s like he purposely makes this a lot harder than it has to be.

    Send us home Yordan

    Those suggesting Yuli was going to walk it off have a sick sense of humor.

    I hate Dusty for making me sour on Yuli. Love that dude but he belongs on the bench
