I want to see them give David Hensley a look, I can’t imagine it would hurt giving him a few of Dubons starts.
This is what enfuriates me about Dusty. I usually will post what I think and why but try not to be critical of Dusty's choices. But when 2 of your best OFers are hurt ( Diaz and Chas) and you have 2 off days this week you don't give your best OF the day off !! Tucker is 25 yrs young and has multiple seasons to get used to the MLB grind. He plays every day until the injured OFers can come back. Edit: I just saw Tucker is day to day with a foot issue. Oops Sorry for the rant.
Mark Berman @MarkBermanFox26 Dusty Baker says Kyle Tucker has a foot issue again. Similar to what he’s had before and is considered day to day.
Dusty simply does not play rookies. He has an old school " show me something before I play you" mentality that frustrates me to no end. That's why Click will not bring him back next year and I'm fine with that. Hensley and Maldonado are the only healthy guys on the bench so hopefully David will get in the game. Hopefully it's a blowout in the Astros favor ( unlikely) and not an injury. FYI: CF and RF are the 2 spots that Dusty needed today. I can totally understand not wanting to play him in those spots.
100% correct. Multiple current players have told me this as well -- even using the same "old school" terminology. Dusty is an ex-Marine. He's a tough, stubborn man.
