    Pitiful. If Diaz sucks this bad against LHP maybe his hit tool isn't as elite as suspected.

    High pitch. High pitch. High pitch.

    Diaz loves them

    Perhaps Chas shoulda hit 6th, with his track record against lefties.

    oh but Dusty hates him

    If he swings at every pitch he's bound to hit one, right?

    Who's Yanier? Is this the new Alex Bergman?
    On a serious note, it looks like the book is out on what he likes to chase, and now opposing pitchers know how to attack him. He needs to make adjustments.

    It’s really disappointing that we have these scoring droughts.

    Dubin’s stuff not bad. If he can get slightly more command, I actually think he’s more pitchable than Robel or Bielak.

    Should platoon Maldy and Diaz...problem solved (improved) a bit.

    Diaz OPS vs RHP: .881
    Maldy OPS vs LHP: .785

    Diaz is still obviously the better option at catcher but need a better option at DH.

    If Pena had been healthy… put Altuve at DH, Dubon at 2B.

    Now we need someone to platoon with Bregman against LHP.

    Where's Sean Berry when you need him?

    This. Altuve has -1 OAA at 2B so far this year in 85 chances. Dubon has 3 OAA in 143 chances. I included the number of chances to show the difference is not as large as you may think. Love Altuve but his infield defense has regressed in recent years.

    Chas is in a total tailspin against lefties. Julks is now better on the season vs LHP.
