Dusty was asked about this for Verlander's first game back and he got pissed and said Verlander didn't request Dubon, he's the manager and he makes the lineup decisions. Except of course when a pitcher requests Maldy, then he's not the manager...
Here is the deal We keep talking about running down the Rangers and Johnnie keeps playing lineups that aren’t our best 80% of the time Tonight is a big game. Seattle is trying to run us down for a playoff spot, lose tonight and they are in position to possibly catch us this weekend. Not saying that’s gonna happen, but that’s how close they potentially are Hey Johnnie, play to win mother ****er
I blame Dusty, because I don't really believe pitchers are asking for a catcher who can't hit, run, throw, or frame.
40 games to go, 3.5 back. Screw peoples feelings it’s time to put out the best lineups 4/5 games. Not the opposite
But, at least the team also gives up 3/4 of a run more with him behind the plate so you know the game management is solid.
Hunter Brown starting Sunday. Please skip Javier starts or push him to the bullpen for the time being
Hey I like Kessinger. I wouldn’t mind seeing him get more time at SS with Peña having a very lackluster season.
Why can’t maldonado be like every other millennial I have ever met and not work on his birthday. Better yet would be a birthday month.
Diaz apparently has absolutely no ability to play first base. Singleton may go 0-42 by the time Abreu gets back.
