Worst thing is... When Diaz does finally get into the game he'll overplay thinking this will be his one and only chance and not even be effective
My guess is that if we have a runner in scoring position and Maldy comes up that Dusty makes the switch to diaz
Selfish at bat by Maldonado. Take the pitch. You're not getting a hit off opez. It's ok if it's a strike out, pass it to Altuve.
Yeah Maldy needs to be bunting in that situation. It's almost like letting a pitcher hit in that situation, just dumb.
Yeah you'd think that would caused him to adjust his game plan. But you know, the fans and players will appreciate his decisions to bring up Diaz career slowly and not put him into stressful situations.
