    It's freaking ridiculous. There is no way he is worse than Abreu or Singleton defensively there.

    Chas 4 solo homers with Diaz getting a 2 run shot pinch hitting for Maldonaldo in the 9th for a 6-5 Astros victory.

    I thought he did fine for few games that he play at 1B. We know all why he’s not playing there.

    Sigh - just looked at the lineup. Obvi Maldy is in there but why not DH Diaz and let Yordan play left and chas in center . No one would complain . Literally no one. Bottom order looks like auto-outs unless Pena is feeling it

    Dusty is pushing Verlander to pitch a perfect game.

    We didn't win our last getaway day and that would have been a sweep. So we have to win this one.
    -Toothpick pregame interview

    You chose a losing lineup. No **** we didn't sweep.

    Big OF not ideal for Yordan with JV on the mound. Meyers in CF, Chas in LF, Diaz at 1B would have been my pick, but oh well.

    According to Dusty, he likes Dubon out there to prevent guys from taking extra bases while JV is pitching.

    Diaz at catcher and maldy on the bench should be the first thing anyone with a brain would do.

    Then….. get Dubon outta CF

    Well of course, but I was being realistic.

    So weird.

    not you.

    the fact that it’s somehow “realistic” to run the worst player in baseball out there.

    The crazy thing is that those are such obvious choices that it starts to feel like borderline malfeasance Dusty would go w the lineup he chose. If you're trying to actually win baseball games how does Dusty so routinely land on his decisions? How do you keep Diaz's bat on the bench for the 3rd time in 4 games?
