    Altuve had a day off Thursday, and will get another on Monday.

    Unless he's still injured I don't understand this.

    Dusty's ways aren't meant to be understood by the likes of us.

    Nope wasn’t me. I’ll follow on game day.

    EDIT: I did say it was over after falling behind 3-0. Great game? Disaster game.

    Should be a rule where if we give a star a day off, we get to pick one of theirs to get a day off.
    Lol Dusty.

    It is obvious Diaz either is hurt or Dusty does not want to have his only backup catcher play DH.

    You'd think Diaz has more experience catching Brown...but maybe pitcher preference....and maybe who knows?

    Brown very likely likes Maldanado better

    He pitches better to Diaz

    But I’m sure he really strongly prefers Martin anyway

    Could be Dusty, Could be Hunter, Could be Maldy, Could be Diaz, Could be the alignment of the stars?

    We sure as hell have no idea. Pitchers are weird (all baseball players are weird but especially pitchers)...so the **** do we know?

    He could have Madris LF, Meyers CF, Julks RF, Kessinger 3B, Dubon 2B, Abreu 1B, Pena SS, Maldy C, Chas DH

    Altuve and Diaz went 5 for 10 yesterday Dusty. You have tomorrow off. You are fading in the west and badly need a W. Why are 2 of your better players sitting?
    It’s mind-boggling.

    Then again, with their bullpen maybe it doesn’t matter.

    Brown goes to Crane's office once a week and begs for Maldy.
