    Something is up with Yordan beyond a finger. Either that oblique is bothering him again or a hand. Dude is made of glass.

    He switched Diaz to 1B. Why? The better defensive 1st Baseman is now at DH. Why?

    all this weirdness just to accommodate Maldy.

    This is absolutely ridiculous.

    Another lineup change. I would have Diaz catching. Take Maldy out. Let Julks try it as DH. Singleton at first.

    Don't forget, this is the same manager that just told McTaggart with 37 games left that "hey man we still got just over a quarter of the seaon to go" and McTaggart promptly reminded Dusty that 37 games in not a quarter of the season, true story.....

    That doesn't solve the 2nd biggest problem of Dubon sucking in CF, and sucking worse vs RHP.

    Meyers is the only other option. JV gives up fly balls. I’d put Meyers in CF.

    Meyers also has the 7th best bat vs RHP, 6th best w/ Yordan out.

    It's only 66 wRC+ the past 2 months but thats still 7th best on this team.

    Why isn't Meyers, a better defender, at CF...you can go ahead and put Dubon at DH if you really want.

    I know he placed Diaz at 1B because he can pinch hit for Maldy and slide Diaz to catcher later. But Singleton can't hit.

    This team has 10 players over 100 wRC+ vs LHP, but only 6 vs RHP.

    I wish someone would tell Dusty to stop trying to be cute with his BS lineups...he's not that smart.
