oh, we're going to see plenty of Dubon in 2023.

would expect about 200 plate appearances

Imagine not scoring a single run in the equivalent of your first two home playoff games in 21 years. Then again I'm sure Mariners fans were just happy to be there.

Yordan is MLB Network's #1 left fielder.

When I think of that game in Seattle, I think of Luis Garcia. That dude was nails in that game.

In a perfect world Jake would be the 4th/5th OF, and Hensley would be the util infielder...and I'd never have to see Dubon bat again.

That's one thing that was so cool about our playoff run last year. Almost every guy on our roster had a "moment".

At this point, I am leaning towards no. Chas is the starter. Dubon is the back up. The org gives Diaz and/or Hensley the roster spot(s) for young unproven back up with potential. I say this fully thinking Jake > Dubon on offense and OF defense.

Mrs. Marvin and I were there. I'm not sure a single person left the stadium until the Pena homer. Fans were so loud, so rude, and so in our faces that we didn't leave our seats for 17-1/2 innings. We relocated to the dugout area for the final couple of outs because a few fans had left by then.

Fans yelled and cursed at us for six hours. Their level of hatred was way beyond what we experienced at even Yankee Stadium. Kids in front of us would turn around, flip us off and scream "**** you, cheaters!" with their parents cheering them on. We stood and clapped when Pena broke the tie and three guys leaned over and told us to shut up and sit the **** down if we wanted to see the rest of the game. I tried to give a kid the "Sea Us Rise" rally towel from the gate and he called me a cheater, haha. We did our thing and cheered on the Astros, but it was without question the most hostile environment we have witnessed. I rode the subway from Queens in my Astros gear at midnight after a Mets game and felt safer than walking to the train in Seattle.

Seattle fans took things way too far. It was personal to them. Ugly fans.

So basically just a bunch of butthurt *******.

Can anyone guess that the Astros long-term plan is at CF (or is there plan simply to be very short term?)? Do we think they see Chaz or Jake as the long term future of CF? or is there a prospect that we forsee, in say 2024, that looks to cement that position for years to come? Or is a trade our only way to fill that role without a rotating door of players coming and going and/or platooning?

---

Right now Chas represents a top 10-15 CF that is under control for 4 more years on the cheap. He plays plus defense and has been above avg offensively. I can't speak for the Astros, but is there a good reason to not consider him the guy in CF? His emergence means we can put more funds towards upcoming FAs (Tuve, Bregman) and not need to burn prospect capital for a trade.

Adding some data.

Over the last 2 years, Chas is ahead of other CFers in wRC+ like Adolis Garcia, Luis Robert, Dalton Varsho, Cedric Mullins, & Mike Yaz.

Similarly on defense, he played fewer innings than rookie prodigies Michael Harris & Julio Rodriquez and has more OAA.

He's not going to hit .300. He's not going get flirt with .900 OPS. He's probably never going to have a 30-100. But he fills a need at the back of our lineup and gives you plus defense in a critical position.

This now ends the meeting of the Chazzyfiz Fanatics.

Seattle is like most of the Left coast: beautiful scenery, trash people. I hope you kept that towel though - a scalp to take home!

So their fans are mirrors of their manager and players. Who would have guessed?

It took them how many years to get back to the playoffs... for them only to get 1 home game and 0 playoff wins. Shame!
