Also not sure what we are expecting with Brantley and Lance when they come back. Lance has not been a reliable SP the last several seasons, injury prone, seems to have gone away from what made him so successful as maybe he’s afraid of reinjuring his forearm. Hope I’m wrong he would be a hell of a catalyst but he seldom goes deep into games
If this new and improved Dubon became a poor man's trash can era Marwin utility man I would be pretty happy with that.
Better defense but worse offense. Dubon is a contact hitters, so if he avoids double plays, he should get a decent number of RBI's if we move him up in the lineup. I see Dusty slotting him in the lineup in same position he is replacing when Altuve and Brantley comes back.
Definitely don't want him higher in the lineup. He is still not a run producer. He actually is a good fit for the 9 hole. He handles the bat well and does not clog up the bases in front of the top of the lineup.
Dubon's extra suckage since joining Houston is finding its water level Going forward, he will still suck overall at the plate, but hopefully not extra suck
I just hope Dubon can stay this hawt for another 3 weeks. I like playing along and saying things like: Trout wishes he was Mauricio.
“Dos cheating muda fuggas” dipshiits were probably chanting “fugg Altuve” during CCs AB….you can’t make this shiit up with the NYY fans
