    I could probably live with Dubon in CF tonight if he just swapped out Abreu with Diaz at 1B.

    Can’t wait for Dusty to ride off the sunset. Rinse and repeat.

    Found the article that shows dubon and baker were linked back to the San Francisco days.
    "Dubón also will now play for Dusty Baker, whose son, Darren, was one of Dubón's workout partners in high school. Dubón grew up a Giants fan and said he was excited to play for Baker, who gave him a simple message on his first day with the Astros."

    So frustrating. He just refuses to put the best players out there. Dubon over McCormick is unacceptable.Diaz sitting against a RHP 2 days in a row is unacceptable too.

    Offense is overrated against a guy like Scherzer. You’re not going to get 20 hits against him so you shouldn’t even try. You’ll thank Dusty after the game.

    Oh yea, his son and Dubon have been great friends for years, this came up last year when everyone was wondering why Dubon always played

    But johnnie is a great guy, revered

    All I know is Doobie better keep getting RBI's or else his presence in the lineup so consistently is mystifying.

    There needs to be an intervention. Dusty has gone mad. Crane? Bagwell? Brown? Anyone?

    Yea there is. Chas has had many streaks like that this year and chas is a better CF. Chas has amazing numbers, Dubon’s are pedestrian. Its total bullshit. Complete trash for anyone to be obtuse about it. Its obvious that Chas is the better player. It’s obvious that Dusty does not like Chas at all. This is not even debatable and hasn’t been since he benched Chas the 1st 2 games of the season.
