    Yuli is so hot at 2nd in the lineup. Just can’t not have his bat in the spot where the book literally says the best hitter in your team should hit. Outstanding.

    FFS STOP BATTING HIM 2ND.

    It’s pure malfeasance at this point.

    Dusty is making me dislike Yuli by continuing to play him and batting him 2nd

    See- that’s the reason Mancini can’t possibly play LF out there. Dusty doesn’t trust him to deal with that kind of situation out there. he’s got a real dilemma. He can’t play him against fly ball pitchers or ground ball pitchers.

    Diaz didn’t go a great job on that double.

    That was a pretty lousy sequence from Garcia- he has an 0-2 count with two outs on Machin and then loses focus and gives up a run scoring double shortly after. It's a pattern now.

    Garcia saved by his defense but he's not looked good lately.

    Not sure why they didn’t just get a CF from someone. Instead of Mancini being a coffee runner in the dugout.

    I can't stand in game interviews interfering with the game. I'll check the box score in a few hours.

    Mancini and Vazquez are far too white for Dusty's tastes.

    BTW, even after yesterday's 3-4 showing from Yuli, his OPS is less than 50 points higher than Maldy's.
