    Tucker's been scuffling the past 2 series, don't mind the day off.

    AARPeu at cleanup is managerial malpractice.

    Tucker could use a break... but Diaz... self sabotage to bench him.

    Diaz hasn't played first base since that game with multiple errors on pick offs. Errors were on the pitchers but Diaz went into Dusty's first base doghouse after that game.

    We will thank him later. Homers are just fan stats. Him getting on base clogs the bases too much. He will enjoy his banana pudding. There is no reason for urgency. Maldy needs to start because Framber needs to be comfortable with him in case Yainer gets hurt. And he doesn't need help managing.

    Throws weren't great but he looked terrible trying to field them. He started at 1B 3 times in 4 games after that one, btw.

    Dusty pulls whatever excuse out of his a** to justify what he really wants to do.

    Young QBs don't start immediately ---- meanwhile, rookie Stroud makes his 2nd start today.

    Diaz should've gotten reps earlier in the season while Abreu was pulling a Maldonado impression. Abreu should've been load managed throughout the season in the first place after he deteriorated 2nd half of last season by pulling another Maldonado impression.

    A must win game and we are resting 2 of our top hitters that were just off two days ago.
    Make it make sense.
    It's nice to know everyone will be well rested......
    To watch the post season.

    Look I am probably the biggest Yuli fan, but... Yainer should have gotten more reps at any position incl first as a Sept callup last season when everything was locked up.

    benching Tucker when our playoff hopes are in the balance? This is criminal management.

    Exactly, none of these other 3 teams are resting their stars.
    Do you think the rangers are resting seager today or the mariners resting jrod?
    THEY WERE JUST OFF 2 DAYS AGO

    Joe Espada should've been the Manager this Year. Players are not responding to Dusty anymore. Chas and Yainer lost Respect for him. Other players are angry at Dusty by their poor play and it is Distracting to Players and Fans when Chas and Yainer are sitting Games.

    Even in Cricket Wicketkeepers can be 20 years old. Are more mobile running and catching. It is not difficult to Catch when Yainer has 10 plus years experience before being called up.
