Looking at the Astros starting 9 I would have Diaz leading off. Meyers is a black hole too. Dubon and Meyers….ugh….
And I think Dubon is a good utility player too. He just doesn’t get on base enough. Good luck tonight. Wonder if LaRussa is taking shots before the game
I predict TLR orders his starter to drill Dubon with the first pitch in retaliation for LDS HBP. He thought it happened yesterday and was intentional.
Pena was scratched and replaced with Dubon. If Dusty turns in the lineup card and then has to replace a player on it, can he move the batting order around at that point? If not, then I guess it makes sense for Dubon to lead off because his plan was for Pena to lead off. But if Dusty had the option to change the order when he swapped Pena for Dubon, then there is no reason to not shift things around. Dubon ain't a leadoff batter.
Meyers Maldanado Dubon Yuli That's who is up in front of Alvarez, Bregman and Tucker I know three people who will make some sense of it, but no one else
