It's game day but I won't be watching for obvious reasons.

My atonement…

Dubon @ 1 and Chas @ 8.

Just......why?


Because he replaces Altuve

Duhhhhh(sty)

Is that all season or only leadoff ABs?

Not that it matters

Yes he's a bad choice now. But to be fair what he lead off for the first 2 months or so in place of Altuve, Dubon wasn't as bad as this shows. He's just tailed off hard.

Because eventually everyone more or less reverts to who they are. Even when he was doing "well" his OPS/wRC still sucked because he never walked and very rarely hit for power. He's not a leadoff hitter by old standards (see a lot of pitches, consistent steal threat) or new ones (consistent hard contact). He frequently combines only the worst traits of Altuve (swing immediately without concern for location) and Bregman (weak pop-up) without any of their pluses (power and pitch discretion).

Only one person doesn't see this or doesn't care.

The good news is that his negative impact is blunted after the first inning since there are no longer two bad hitters directly behind him. He basically becomes the nine hitter after his first AB

Except he's the first person to get an extra AB every time.

Picanha is Brazilian


It came from HEB. Cut from an American cow.

And the rye is made with American corn and rye by a great American named Jimmy Russell who I once met while touring his fine distillery.

It's top sirloin cap. It's shaped like a big triangle and you slice it into steak. The fat cap when cooked is good eats and the steak itself is, well, Brazilian steak houses aren't going out of business

I use rye for OF and manhattans.

Sazerac is lower proof and you can drink all night.

Rare breed at 112 makes a great drink but you won't make the end of the game.

I came last night, I'm here tonight, and I have tickets for tomorrow, but I think I'm actually tired of watching this team play at home.
