Is that right??? That's ****in insane. Dusty being Dusty, doesn't want Mancini getting a shot at 1st.
It’s odd to me that people still use Altuve’s height as an insult. The childish is stupidity of it is one thing, but calling him short (or a “midget” as hecklers often yell during games) is really just a reminder of how incredible his career has been and how much harder he’s had to work to get there. He wasn’t gifted with the stature of typical professional athletes. He’s listed as 5’6”, probably 5’5”, and yet he’s been AL MVP, ALCS MVP, 8X All-Star, three batting titles, he’s second all time in post season home runs, and on and on…
Prediction: Yuli goes through the rest of the regular season and all of the playoffs having never been benched. This is truly amazing to witness.
Since Brantley and A Diaz went down, we can't go deeper than 8 anymore and that's if Yordan starts hitting again. Hensley, Matijevic and Y Diaz are just spectators with a great seat.
Hensley is an athletic 6'7" IFer so playing him at 1B works for me defensively. Great hitting in spot starts so far. If he can play SS, he can pick at 1B.
