    Good. Hensley couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

    Julks has certainly done the job.

    Diaz can backup 1B and that's all that Hensley could offer. Dubon covers the rest.

    Now if we could somehow get Maldonado out of the lineup almost permanently, we might be on to something.

    Abreu back in the 4 spot. I'd rather have Dubon as cleanup vs. Abreu....and that's sad.:D

    You just can't have a regular player batting cleanup this far into the season with a 0 in the HR column. Alvarez shouldn't get anything to hit with RISP.

    Julks OPS in May is under .500

    He was a fun story, but he is awful and starting over two guys who rip LHP

    Can’t make a lineup like this out with a straight look on your face

    Dusty is such a stubborn and crusty old b*stard.

    Which is likely why he has been good, but not Yordan good so far

    Dusty is setting up Dubon, Diaz, and McCormick's huge PH opportunities

    Chess not checkers ;)

    Never mind you might not need it had they already been playing


    Abreu cleaning up...... "man, oh man" #milovoice

    Dusty will never make Chas a true everyday player unless there are injuries. In his mind, that is Jake’s spot.

    Lol, Dusty thinks he's slick sneaking Abreu back in the cleanup spot on Altuve's return day. Just stubborn AF, lol. Wherever Abreu hits he needs to produce more consistently or be dropped toward the end of the lineup until they can get 1b help.
