    I'd like to say it's because Blanco is a FB pitcher...but nope.

    I'd like to say it's because Altuve wants a day off from the OF...but that was yesterday

    I have no idea other than to get people some opportunities in the positions they'll play at some point

    I think Diaz should usually be at DH when it’s Caratini’s turn to catch. When it’s Caratini’s turn, move Yordan to LF and altuve to 2b. This would be much better, especially in Daikin with the short left field. That way you still keep the good hitters in your lineup. Espada already just straight up sat Diaz game 3 of the season.

    Diaz was our best run producer last year

    Joe is not that bright.

    Shouldn't we a bit more curious with Dezeno, chas , and Rodgers instead of Dubon a career 250 hitter w no power. I'm confused lol

    Depends on the pitcher, right?

    No, especially no at home

    you don’t just take Diaz’s production out of the lineup

    Read my post again. It’s not actually confusing.

    unless you’re joe and you make it confusing for no reason.

    No, I read real good, but it depends on the pitcher, right?

    Uh...LF is either Altuve or Yordan, neither are great options for a FB pitcher, but if you need a 2B day off a ground ball pitcher would be the best option

    Can't wait for Dubon to be off this roster.

    Dana just needs to pull a Click and trade Dubon, time to end this chapter. Dezenzo will have only played one game, 4 games into the season
