    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

    Dusty definitely wants to win, but only his way. He would rather lose then admit he made a mistake

    he can’t even bunt though. He is completely useless no matter how you look at him

    Can someone tell Maldy to stop swinging with men on base? Especially at 1st with less than 2 outs?

    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.

    If you have the balls to have Altuve bunt, then Maldy should have as well

    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.

    We feel a little casual right now, this is when I wish we had a manager that could fire this team up

    99.9. He hit it well, just to the wrong part of the ball park for a HR.

    If you have to play Maldy

    take the bat from him and send him up there empty handed
