    Abreu needs rest regardless of his production

    The team should schedule 20 DH games and 20 rest days for him throughout the season

    You would think Yanier would get the start with the quick turnaround time from the last game. Wouldn’t be surprised if Maldy would feel threatened and throw a fit like he did in the off-season.

    Tucker caught flat-footed on Acuna's tag up

    Javier finishes the inning next batter though

    Fried's advanced stats suggest he has gotten a bit lucky with guys on base. That play would support it.

    Let's check in on the "What if we had signed Willson Contreras?".

    I'll use the stats of Julks and Diaz as a comp, since the plan would have been to stick him in left field if he wasn't playing backup catcher.

    Julks/Diaz: 76 ABs, 14 R, 2 HR, 8 RBI, .289

    Contreras: 77 ABs, 11 R, 2 HR, 10 RBI, .279

    Hmmmmm.....

    Hensley has just been bad. Should’ve had Julks here…

    Hensley should be one of the first ones to be sent back to the minors when regulars start coming back.

    Maldy would have demanded a trade.

    I'm not sure if you're implying Dusty would have allowed Contreras to take over as starting catcher. If you are, then you're clearly not paying attention.
