    Sit Diaz before he loses the WS by himself.

    Diaz with 4 LOB in 2 ABs

    Foolish for Dusty to play him

    Prove him right before game's end

    Let's use a mannequin as our DH. Just put a bat in its hands stretched out over the plate. It's got a better chance of hitting something.

    This is on Dusty. That's twice that Diaz has squandered a scoring opportunity. The lineup decisions you make matter, Dusty!

    There is no excuse!!!! There is a reason why Dusty hasn’t won one. He’s 0-9 with 5k’s going in to that at bat.

    he shouldn’t play… he’s not an option. At least Mancini can run in to a homerun or Hensley can slap a ball the other way.

    It’s so gross a fan base can openly watch and realize the biggest issue with this team and the Astros GM and management can’t see it.

    It’s mismanagement

    If the Astros lose this game, it could very well be because of Aledmys Diaz. (And Dusty for starting him in the first place, instead of Hensley.)

    Dubon would be a major upgrade at this point. Could’ve put him in center and Chaz in left.

    No idea other then it has to be stat driven. Hensley is 6’ 6”, has a good reach and so far has been more competitive with his ABs then Mancini and Diaz combined so yea a head scratcher

    If you are going to play Diaz (big mistake) why in the world would he be hitting higher than 9th???

    We don't deserve to win a WS. We don't want it. Haven't wanted it the last 3 trips.

    Diaz, you had your chances. Time to try Hensley next time his spot in the order comes up
