    Jeremy Pena batting 9th and Yuli Gurriel batting 2nd I think really confused the Team and us Fans. It honestly got me angry at Dusty being a complete fool.

    Christian Vazquez all of a sudden batting 5th as a Backup Catcher, I want Dusty Baker gone after the Postseason.

    Mauricio Dubon is a SS playing Center Field, Pedro Leon should've been called up

    Not even 1 at bat for Yainer Diaz a Power Hitter on the Bench

    I'd like to think it's a brilliant plan to get him on base for Altuve after the 1st time through the order, but it's probably just ()usty screwing things up because he wants to make sure Yuli gets extra PAs.

    I had no problem batting Vasquez 5th. Batting Gurriel 2nd again is my issue.

    Baker is completely worthless. Anyone with any semblance of intelligence knows it

    You forget he is untouchable to some. Saint ()usty cannot be criticized for non baseball reasons.

    He has a high OBP in limited PA so I would move him to 1 or 2 until he shows he doesn't belong there. I usually prefer 5 to go to a SLG, but if the choice is 5th or 9th, I'd rather 5th.

    Criticizing for baseball reasons is fine. Whining every ****ing day about lineups is ****ing insane. People need to understand lineup experimentation is to find out what combinations work for future reference.

    He can see what is before his eyes. Poor guy won't listen to Big Brother and accept what's he's told he must believe by ignoring what he sees and hears.

    We're 5/6th the way through the season. Most of his line-up criticism is about a player who has 486 PA and is batting in the top 3. Experiment my asp. It's PURE STUBBORNNESS.

    And not every expression of a different PREFERENCE is a criticism. But some are.

    That might change if the owner sells and they bring in someone who knows how to win rather than make headlines.

    Nice player's coach, but trusting him using the Pen in the post-season is highly questionable. I think Dusty is going by the playbook this postseason (Stanek, Neris, Montero and then Pressley). Everyone will know the playbook in the post season except our closer isn't Billy The Kid.

    If ever there was a game both teams deserved to lose last night was it.

    Can we get a hold of the 2003 Pen time machine please? Lidge/Dotel/Wagner with this Rotation would be awesome with this group filling in the rest of the Bull Pen.
