    But I thought Dusty knew his players better than anyone.

    Remember Maldy hid multiple injuries toward the end of last season and Dusty refused to play Vasquez more than once per week

    Matijevic would require a 40 man move. Not that they couldn't do it.

    Abreu and Maldonado are true warriors.

    Trade Diaz for cash and extend their contracts so we can maintain these fierce competitors !!

    Wish it was Leon instead of Hensley

    Just remember, Dusty lovers, if Chaz doesn't make that catch, LMJ was going to pitch game 7,

    But I thought Click had full control/final say on the playoff roster, lineups, pitching decisions both starters/bullpen, pinch-hitters, pinch-runners, shift configurations, bathroom breaks, and which uniforms they wore?

    Yep. Click having some influence over a decision that appears reversed without him here means let's blow it out of proportion.

    Full on class act. I'm not even sure who's #2 on the list of greatest announcers.

    I'll admit, this makes me a tear up a bit.

    Conspiracy theory fodder...the injury is not much of an anything. It's just a way to give Singleton a chance and Abreu a rest and time to get his head right. This was happening regardless. Someone finally made the call.

    They went through Hensley, your boy Madris, Keppinger, Singleton and now are back to Hensley as the replacement IFer

    So no, there isn't an extra 1Bman in AAA right now.

    Players hide injuries all the time, this is nothing new.

    Did you see Diaz constantly gunning down runners on Thursday? And that was just on defense.

    To be fair, a couple of those were botched hit and run attempts.

    I guess we will all know when we reach the playoffs. I think he started McCormick every game in CF in the playoffs last year and stopped the Dubon shenanigans. He did play our best team last year, unless you think Vazquez was a better choice than Maldy. That lineup almost swept the playoffs.

    Both the Rangers and the Mariners are 9-1 in their last ten games. Got to keep winning to keep up. Just saying.
