I didn't catch all of it because working, but something to the effect "just cause a guy has a higher average blah blah"
In all seriousness, hundreds of us should go to minute maid just to pull Dusty out of the dugout and beat his ass if he doesn't play the new guys.
Yesterday during the game he was asked his thoughts and how they would fit and he definitely seemed annoyed. He specifically said about Vazquez that "it would be nice to have a pinch runner and hitter". Edit: This was the ESPN broadcast
“Every faith he’ll be back but don’t know when.” Easier to take time with Brantley with a 12-game lead, with Mancini, knowing you have OF depth? “It’s a medical decision. We’re gonna let the doctors and medicine decide the timetable. We’re not gonna rush him back.”
I noticed the exact same thing. He did not seem happy nor did he even think they were necessary additions. In so many words. Not what you want to hear from your manager after the trade deadline.
Offense slumping, we acquire 2 new bats that are supposed to be an improvement, only to get Dusty’d because reasons.
