    Has to be the first time all year we've put out our best lineup.

    This lineup should be the go to going forward. 1-5 gives the pitcher no way out.

    After Julks started 19 of 21 games from July 1st until a week ago, he has now only started 2 of the last 6.

    This lineup f***s baby!

    All Maldy had to do was have a 3 hit night to get benched the next day. If we really want to see Maldy sit more, he just needs to rake when he gets starts.

    What did we do to deserve the best possible lineup (as far as the right guys all playing). It's astounding. Should probably flip flop Diaz and Chas (and I'm Diaz biggest fan) but that's pretty minor/unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

    When Diaz starts at catcher he has a 1.000 OPS in 103 PA. I'm excited to see what he can do in the 5 hole.

    I honestly don’t think so. I could be wrong. But I like it. Complete suffocation. Pick your poison.

    Yes, for a while when Altuve was out and they just couldn’t score, they were B2B … and I don’t have the stats but I remember them being very good. Which, of course makes sense as Yordan crushes lefties. It is only stubborn 1960s thinking that prevents it from happening more often.

    Dana B. Might have slipped this lineup under the desk. With a post it saying this is the way.
    Lol.
