I would imagine he is getting some strong guidance from the analytics team, but it just seems odd to go with Diaz when we have guys like Vasquez or Dubon available too. Hard to imagine they would be worse the 0-8 with a .500 strikeout rate.Serotonin said:Is this driven by internal analytics or does Dusty have complete control over the lineup?htownag10 said:
Alvarez is the DH And Diaz Is starting on left. Diaz is 0-8 with 4Ks lifetime against Nola. Prove us wrong Dusty…

My only guess is that Alvarez has some sort or lingering injury so that's why they don't have him in the OF. Hensley had a hit last night and I think the only DH hit since the ALDS.
you don't use your second catcher vasquez as DH.
Yeah, I agree it's a strange move.txags92 said:I would imagine he is getting some strong guidance from the analytics team, but it just seems odd to go with Diaz when we have guys like Vasquez or Dubon available too.

I do like getting Yordan to DH because he's such a monster bat that you want him to just focus on getting the bat going.

Vasquez is catching tonight.

That's something I've wondered, about a number of decisions, but haven't really paid enough attention this year to know what people are saying about that. Dusty does seem a little more hands off/CEO/motivator type.
Last night I was thinking about Scrap Iron standing there with his scratch paper, bringing in one pitcher to get one batter out, trying to cobble something together. This is obviously a different era and different style of management.
At what point do we hit for Diaz in those situations.
sts is a legend
Finally some offense

This cat is just awful.
Verlander gives up 5 runs. Leave him in.
Javier has no hitter. Pull him.
Javier has no hitter. Pull him.

Better be Hensley tomorrow. Hell, give Dubon or ole Strikeout Meyers a shot. Diaz is godawful right now.
Could this d-bag announcer TRY to jinx us any more than he's trying?!?!?!
Javier has only two starts in the last 45 days or something like that and wasn't going to go past about 100 pitches either way.Martin Q. Blank said:

If they come back and win the series that moment will have been the turning point
