No Mancini. Again. You just traded for this dude and Dusty refuses to play him consistently. I don't get it.
Why wouldn’t you play Mancini? We are going up against the best team ever constructed in MLB. We need all the help we can get.
Yuli' had 3 hits yesterday. He was going to play today. Diaz is on a hot streak. Yordan is the DH. Mancini will get his time, but it is not like he is tearing the cover off the ball.
He wasn't tearing the cover off the ball in B-More this season. Mancini is Yuli' and Brantley insurance. Everyone wants to play the new toy, however, if your current guys are playing better at the moment...Dusty is not going to change it. I want to see Mancini...but Im not going off the deep end because he is not playing right now.
Mancini/Vazquez are “depth pieces” and “We trust Dusty to put the best lineups out there every day over the long haul to make sure we’re in position to win the World Series.” — James Click Spoiler
While I also wonder about Mancini, I think a bigger question is why is Dubon even on the roster? If he's needed as a fourth OF, fine, but his plate appearances should be going to Chas to get him ready for the playoffs.
Who in the minors would you replace him with? He's on the roster because of his versatility to play multiple IF/OF positions and he doesn't strike out much.
Maldonado last 23 games: .288 BA 5 HR 19 RBI .891 OPS I'm going to guess our most productive hitter since July 7.
