    I wonder how many games Chas will end up missing?

    Dusty originally had Chas hitting 7th, behind Singleton, yesterday (before he was scratched) Now, he has Dubon playing instead of Chas and batting 6th - ahead of Singleton.

    Does Dusty think that Dubon is a better hitter than Chas? It would be the only explanation for that, right?

    Why is Dubon playing CF when we have 2 better CF’s available?

    At this point I have stopped trying to use logic to understand Dusty’s lineup decisions. I think he goes off of hunch or some kind of superstition.

    Maldy's presence initiates a horrific chain of events

    Verlander seems perfectly OK with having noticeably worse defense and 2 extra offensive dead spots.

    It's so f**king frustrating we're losing this division and we still have to deal with this.

    Chas would probably have his leg amputated and replaced with a prosthetic leg before missing PAs against LHPs with a bruised knee. Meyers, would say "f#$% that, I like my leg, but I still want some juicy hacks against a lefty".

    You forget about the Rockies when you say something like that, but they make a strong case, along with the tigers and White Sox, for being the trash ass organization supreme of the American League.

    he literally is quoted in the athletic last year saying he managed by his gut and dreams can inform the decision he will make the next day. I wonder if he dreamt Chas made an error or if it was a dream that Dubon got a knock.
    like, you don’t need to guess about any of this he told you. Along with Matza ball soup, having the bus drop him off at the barber shop, smoking lots of weed and a bunch of other stuff.

    Yes. Everywhere he ever managed the fan base loathed him when he left. Before he left really.

    I assume Chas is still hurt? Dubon being Verlander's personal center fielder is still hilarious to me. If you want the best fly ball defense, put Meyers there. Meyer has an >.800 OPS the last month compared to Dubon's <.500 so he would be better on both offense and defense.

    Dubon and Maldy need to be JVs personal CF and C respectively. That leaves 2 spots for Yordan, Diaz, and Chas.

    Chas loses.

    Was JV handpicking his CF in NY?
