The Crawfish Boxes @CrawfishBoxes 7m At least Mancini is still in the lineup, so take the good with the bad, I suppose.

Seriously? Dubon and his .256 OB% is leading off? Dusty trying to make up for 2 reasonable lineups in a row.
I hope Urquidy pitches well. And keeps it in the park. Tonight’s matchup seems like a tough one. Maybe Dubon ate some Corn Flakes this morning.
Dubon is a perfect 26th man on a roster. He makes contact, doesn't strike out much and can play almost any position. I like him on the team. But he's not a leadoff hitter
