    I'd prefer Dubon and Diaz both in the lineup, but I'd also like Altuve, Bregman, and Alvarez to start slugging that ball outta the park too. We need to wake up and score.
    Was talking about tonight, not last game where they were the heroes.

    Pena might be dreamy as hell but he's no Carlos

    I can deal with good players playing poorly, I can't deal with the worst players in the MLB being in the lineup and still playing poorly.

    There's not an obvious upgrade over those guys.

    Let’s be honest. Tucker is a lazy player and should be a lot better than he is offensively. He is too old to be swinging out of his shoes. So what you said is it’s more acceptable for good players l, who get paid way more, to play poorly. That makes absolutely no sense.

    Okay....but even if that's true, let's not compare that to Maldy who is one of the worst players in the entire league. He doesn't belong on any roster.

    Well that made zero sense. Is Maldy your best friend? You gotta crush on him? You feel the need to rush to his defense for him? Is he wearing your ****ing promise ring? You’re a loser to think that you can control my posts. Delusional casual fan.

    He was the World Series MVP last year and has a career .972 postseason OPS. He's also 2-2 in this game and has made a few nice defensive plays. There's a lot of people who deserve criticism right now; Pena isn't one of them. By all accounts, he's been ever bit the player Carlos has since he signed with the Twins.

    Lopez is getting 0-1 counts on every one. Constantly working from a pitchers count.
