    If your expectation is that he has to do it every single game, sure, he is going to fail before long.

    Julks started a game this year before Chas did. The Dusty hate for Chas was on full display then, if you were somehow still unsure from the previous season.

    And Chas has been on base like 6 times in his last two starts.

    Only reason I'm not steaming at the ears on CF today is because Dubon has hit well this series, but then again, who hasnt?

    It’s complete trash. Dusty loves his boys. He hates Chas. He’s not fond of Diaz either.

    I get not putting Diaz at 1B with the GB pitchers, but today with JV would seem like an excellent time to stick him out there.

    Dubón since August 1st (17 GS, 86 PA)

    .329 .372 .557 .929

    That's not too shabby.

    I'm just happy those two, Diaz and the Irish, are team players. They'll have a smile on no matter what.
    This is nuts. Two of your best players have to sit because of favorites.

    And Chas is .944

    But for Chas that is not far off from what he has done all year, so it's much more likely to be repeated
    Chas has hit .313 since JUNE 1st, on base 6 times the last two nights, and sits

    I'm sorry, there is no universe in which Dubon is a better option

    I hope he goes 4X4 tonight though with no errors

    See he's even wanting to meet fans, no time to think about wristbands.

    (this comment:
    "You should give Dusty a burrito and see if he puts you in the lineup more often." )

    Hard to fathom that Diaz is STILL a part time player.

    If they make the playoffs I doubt it changes.

    Hopefully JV steps up his game today because I think the Reds are going to get smoked by Seattle

    The expectation should be that he doesn’t play every single game.
