Why is Yainer Diaz even on the roster? If it were strictly up to Dusty his adopted son Dubon would get 700 PA this season. I will say this is an ideal defensive lineup for a Framber start, less so for Urquidy.
I'd say the front office sees lots of opportunities for him to play. Dusty has not found many opportunities for him to build Diaz's confidence.
Before the Astro game today, I’ll say this. Don’t mess this movie up Disney. Indiana Jones needs to go out on a high note. That’s it… back to baseball.

Yea there is no reason for Brown to keep Diaz on the roster knowing Dusty isn't going to play him Let him go to AAA and get regular at bats.
Brown is not Click and Click is not Brown but yet here we are again and the only constant is Dusty so we continue with the obvious "why are we doing this again". I get it, its a marathon, confidence, injuries, etc. but the obvious is just that, obvious.
This is pretty much the same bullpen that was dominant last season and somehow turned it up another level in the playoffs. You really want to blow that up? Stop being so concerned about results the first month of the season, much less the first week.
I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I would like to see Dusty try a lineup of: Bregman Tucker Abreu Alvarez Pena McCormick Diaz Hensley Maldonado Just try a couple games and see what happens...
I'd like to see: RF Tucker* 1B Abreu LF Alvarez* 3B Bregman C Salazar* SS Pena CF McCormick 2B Hensley DH Diaz And if we adjust the roster, bring up Dirden*.
Can we get the splits on Pena hitting in front of Yordan vs not? It's mind blowing. Bregman Pena Alvarez Abreu Tucker Until this happens, suffer the consequences of an inept offense.
