    When Altuve returns and soon after Yordan returns they'll get plenty of starts at DH. Dusty and Dana either need to work things out to where that equally cuts into Maldy's playing time when Diaz doesn't DH or Dana needs to rip the band aid and DFA him.

    3 men stole bases it wasn’t even close. Teams know they can do it without being threatened. Whole league knows.

    He’s a joke. It’s absurd.

    He knows Yordan is coming back soon and Yainer is taking over.

    Go ahead an
    and add a bat to Yordan coming back. The 3 games against the Mariners have made this crystal clear.

    I realize they are under achieving but where would another bat play? and how much of an improvement will he be?

    Understand that Diaz is not catching more than 25%. That is sheer fantasy. So this new bat you propose will be replacing Diaz in the lineup not Maldy.

    The player the Astros gets and trades away players or prospects in order to get will shift Diaz to the bench.

    Tell me who that player is.

    Stealing bases on him AT WILL. Throws aren’t even close. This is ridiculous.

    The increase of stolen bases on Maldy are glaring now. Everyone is stealing on him. Even slow pokes. Mot even competitive when trying to throw them out.
