    When do we start complaining about Jones being in the lineup the way we did Robel?

    No Wilson. I expected he would be in the lineup just to troll people.

    On Jones, here's to hoping he figured something out with the bat while he was in AAA.

    Not sure if Jones will do any better this time around, but I think we are all pretty sure what we were gonna keep getting from Robel

    At least when Bregman back, Diaz can still play first.

    With Toro traded, this team has to have Diaz play everyday for now.... and that's unfortunately an injury waiting to happen.

    I guess Jones is better? At least someone else can strike out now :).

    And yet for someone SO CLUELESS, The Astros still have the best record in the AL.

    And you know that Dusty doesn't use Analytics how? Shut up.....

    He's down the road, so he can grab a taxi and come back into our lives to ruin it. :)

    At some point dusty has to start Meyers right?

    And why start Alvarez in LF again after last night?

    I know hes a 31yr old cup of coffee guy but I would've preferred to see Wilson at 3rd and Diaz at first. Wilson plays 3rd and has a better line in AAA, more power for sure. Jones has done nothing to warrant any more of a shot but whatever. It scares me that they keep putting Yordan in left, Uncle Mike must really need a break

    Brantley got banged up in LA. Last time he got banged up and played through it had to miss a month.

    Alvarez should be able to play LF at MMP. But the minute he gets injured out there playing the field, I will second-guess and be very very angry.

    Agreed... but we're also at the point now where Alvarez' power numbers are looking better in games he plays the field... that Dusty is probably bringing up that "analytic" to Click suggesting he should play even more!

    Even with a 27 OPS+, Jones represents an 8 point improvement in offensive OPS+ over Robel.

    His highlight video will be just as long as Austin Pruitt's...

    Anyone else notice Dusty had his BP hat on the other day in the dugout?
