Sure it is. Just like Maldy can easily tell Dusty to allow Diaz more GP But Dusty feels the pressure of staying true to his promises. Abreu and Maldy can relieve the pressure
JFCWTF. Really? That bottom 7th contact was going to be another BB. Send him down to 3xA on an "injury" until he gets his hitting (consistently) back... Jeff, take your protege to the cages... idk but dude you gotta change something.
Yes. Had the misfortune of having to watch him both in Chicago and Cincinnati. At least he is handling the pitching staff better than before, but I think that has more to do with the level of pitching coaches we have as compared to the Cubs and Reds.
Hopefully Dubon can learn how to play 1st base. Abreu is unplayable. Everyone but Dusty realizes that.
2B Jose Altuve SS Jeremy Pena LF Yordan Alvarez 3B Alex Bergman RF Kyle Tucker 1B Jose Abreu C Yainer Diaz DH Corey Julks CF Chas McCormick, Jake Myers IF Mauricio Dubon Drew Gilbert I hope gets Called Up, Need that Speed and Power Lefty Bat in the Lineup
Best case scenario lineup if Abreu is doneski: CF Gilbert 2B Altuve DH Alvarez 3B Bregman RF Tucker LF McCormick 1B Brantley SS Pena C Diaz Bench: Meyers, Maldy, Dubon, Abreu
At the beginning of the season, everyone wanted Dubon off the team and said Dusty was too loyal to him and played him too much.
