    Chas batting 7th is cringe. Maldy and Diaz playing together and Diaz playing 1B is also a head scratcher when Singleton has at least played decent there. I mean why not DH Diaz then if you insist on playing Maldy? Also I hate how the lineups still keep changing daily. A little consistency will probably go a long way.

    TLDR Version: Gripe Gripe Gripe

    Might have to cut Dubon when Brantley gets healthy. I hate that the manager affects my thoughts here. Dubon is a fine defensive middle IF that can't hit RHPs and isn't close to Meyers as a CF.

    Maldy can't catch curves anymore without risking a pass ball. So he doesn't like it.

    “We will move the natural CF to RF to play this 2B in CF.”

    Dusty loves his adopted son. Meanwhile Myers is also on the bench and is a natural CFer, but let's play the 2B out there because his arm or something

    This game really lining up to be a lost. Saying that, the emotions can only go up with a win!

    Go Maldy grandslam!

    Been awhile since Tucker was out due to an illness. Did he not wear batting gloves his last game ?

    can't blame it on that... he did wear gloves.

    That being said, its still pretty disgusting whenever he would grab all that dirt barehanded... after all the other players are spitting in it, etc.

    ...enjoy it while it lasts.

    Im just curious, for the postseason*, where the FO will prefer BigJohnStuddSingleton to play considering he's still raking AND we'll have Brantley, Alvarez, McCormick, Tucker, Breg, Pena, Altuve and Diaz all in the lineup... (because #logic, right?)


    ...*baseball Gods be damned at this point.

    Spoken like gospel.

    What other managers in MLB screw with the lineup as much as Dusty. It really is a daily guessing game.

    Baseball game is hard enough for players and fans. But Dusty keep making it harder for us by sending out Sunday getaway lineup 6 out of 7 days each week. BS!!
