    He doesn't hit lefties well. Look for him to come in later in the game when they swap for a RHP.

    I briefly dated a woman who had owned a catering business in New Orleans.

    Man I miss her cooking.

    Interesting move putting Dubon second. That’s a lot of pressure on Dubon.

    also Brantley didn’t hit well last night. Maybe Dusty doesn’t want to overuse him.

    I have a good feeling about today. If we can pull it off then the Verlander start tomorrow will be very interesting

    Actually I think it's more of an issue that Chas, Dubon, Tucker, Pena, and Altuve all kill lefties.

    Brantley is ok but not exactly a stand out, but why bench one of those killers for him?

    wRC+ 2023:
    Chas 177
    Tucker 154
    Dubon 138
    Altuve 144
    Pena 132

    Brantley 75 in 2023, 115 in 2022, 57 in 2021.

    Astros only if they score more than the Rangers.

    Yep I'm fine with him coming in once they switch to a righty or pinch hit late.

    He has been.

    He's also a flyball pitcher that doesn't generate a ton of strikeouts against a team that hits a lot of HR in a park that has a high HR park factor (more so with the roof open). He's probably the best option the Astros have, but I'm still nervous.
