    Imagine being Mancini seeing your old team in Baltimore fighting and clawing for a playoff spot while you ride the bench while McCormick and Meyers start in front of you.

    Yikes.

    Honestly, wouldn’t it be better to finish 2nd? It looks like the 2 wild card teams are going to be better than the other 2 division winners.

    Really its just Yuli. Yuli has done more than enough to lose his job. Mancini is by far the better hitter at this point. Total small penis move by Dusty.

    It is my hope that he is professional enough to be just a plug & play guy

    But any competitive baseball player would want to be in the mix

    Gurriel isn’t a regular player anymore. Dusty needs to stop treating him like one.

    Pure speculation on my part - but Yuli must have expressed some displeasure about the prospect of being benched, and maybe the front office wants to make sure he completes his final year here happy in order that he can stay with the org as an ambassador and keep our inside track on signing future top Cuban talent coming.

    Cmon Dusty…Be better. Meyers and Dublin should be bench options and probably Yuli as well.

    I wonder what Click is thinking and if clearly stated thecTrey
    Good think we got Mancini…oh wait

    **** that!! The Astros have made him extremely wealthy and have treated him with the utmost respect. He is not owed any ass kissing or kid glove treatment. Man I get so tired of this kinda crap. Hit or sit.

    At this point I have no idea why we traded for Mancini.

    I don’t remember Carlos Beltran starting every game like clockwork in his age 40 season, why should Gurriel get the same treatment at 38?

    Sounds like he wants to try and play through but may not be possible

    I'd assume a player who plays regularly... would need to play regularly to stay in a good rhythm.

    3 homers in 18 at bats but rides the pine. Meanwhile yuli has (checks notes) Zero home runs in his last 30 games
