Straw has been doing real well lately. Some people were real down on hims a couple weeks, not that I blamed them.
so you know if Altuve is feeling 100%? cool cool cool cool cool I’m not a fan of batting Robel leadoff, but if Jose is less than 100% then I don’t mind the day off. This is the 13th straight game, our next day off is Monday and we have six slated after that, and one series with OAK. A rest day is not the end of the world, hell our offense has manufactured 3 in 1.2!
Lol I literally said we don’t know if maybe he asked for a day off. Maybe reading isn’t your thing I get today’s game is different and players “need” games off But I think we have had 1 game this week where he played our best lineup Not a fan of Dusty and his ways of “managing”
I'd bet Altuve is 100%. From what I heard Click say on 790 the physical/trainers team personnel have a ton of say about who gets a day off and when. Management leans heavily on the trainers as they're closest to the players and know when said player needs a day off. I read that as being above Dusty. Dusty is old school meaning you play every day if physically able.
You said, verbatim, “maybe he asked for a day off, if not this isn’t smart managing”. Him asking for the day off is not the question—whether he is less than 100% is. Players often want to play through things when less than 100%. Resting him can objectively be the right call even if Jose didn’t ask for the day off.
