    First!!

    Tough series with all our starters being suspect

    Hope we run our best lineup possible at least 2 games (can't expect all 3 because Dust)

    Gain ground on Arlington after it's over

    Can't really complain about this lineup, it's actually quite easy to put out an uncomplainable lineup when you just play the best guys you have that are available. Who would've thought?

    Interesting that Chas is in CF over Dubon. It is almost like Dusty is admitting he was wrong about Dubon being a better defensive centerfielder.

    Still feel like Altuve should be leading off and Pena should be 2nd.

    I'm not getting my hopes up that he's going to stop crippling this team with stupid lineups.

    the opponent pitcher can get through 1st and 2nd batter by just needing like 6 pitches.

    dubon and altuve back-to-back swing too much at 1st pitches.

    This team is exhausting. Still hoping and waiting for us to turn the corner.

    Gospel.
    Still think Abreu shouldn't be slotted higher than 7-8.... earn it homie.
    Better production out of better ballers* in any 1-6 scenario. (*usual suspects)...
    So yes, I'm batting Altuve, Dubon, Pena, (Alvarez), Tucker, Meyers/Diaz/McCormick [in no particular order] before you get a chance to even look at the lineup.
    Run & tell that.

    We're getting Montero in the 7th or 8th for sure which is dicey even if we have a decent lead.

    It’s like he tried something new and it hasn’t worked so he is going to stick with it

    Plus, Dubon has been great except he don’t walk so his on base is only .320 which is awful for a leadoff man
