Man Dusty really be trolling. The man himself has brought up Diaz’s struggles against lefties as a reason for sitting him in the past. Now he’s playing him at DH while leaving a lefty crusher on the bench. Lmao
Why would you even give Dusty the option to do something stupid like starting Kessinger in a September game with the division this tight… It’s going to happen let’s be real. Edit: I guess at least it’s not Julks.
I don't have an issue of Brantley playing vs a LHP in a vacuum. But this year, on this team he needs to be on the bench. He is too valuable vs RHP, needs to save his bullets, and there are better options vs LHP.
Yuck. 2 guys that don't add anything positive at all to the big league club. Honestly, what's the point?
I like Kessinger and think he has a future in this league. That said, Pena has just finally gotten where he's been money so my biggest problem with sitting him more than playing Grae. With Abreu, Singleton, and Diaz on this team, he should never play 1B.
This is what I’m saying Johnnie is playing personal games with the Astros while the players are trying to make the playoffs He can’t say it, but I guarantee you Bregman would like to punch him in the toothpick
Chas should be in the lineup hitting 5th, with Abreu at 7th. Another head-scratching lineup from Dusty in the middle of a tight race, but at least we have our best defensive center fielder playing, instead of Dubon. Would be nice to have a lineup that makes complete sense just for once...
Yeah benching Chas against a lefty, right after an off day and benching him in the last series, just proves what I and others have been saying since early last season. Benching him the first 2 games of the season told us all we need to know about this situation. Dusty hates Chas. Now benching him 2 out of 3 games as soon as Brantley is back. Dusty hates Chas. It couldn’t be more obvious. I’m surprised the front office allows this unprofessional bullshit.
