I feel like that errant throw would have gotten by Abreu.

Good thing we have Corey Julks, Grae Kessinger, and Cesar Salazar ready to score 4 on Shane Bieber and Emmanuel Clase!

Dusty is making sure everyone gets the chance to play.

This does have the feeling of a "day after clinching the division" lineup.

The players seem to love Dusty, so he's got that going for him I guess. As a fan, his game day management is infuriating.

Julks employing the clever strategy of staring at the ones down the middle of the plate while swinging wildly at the ones off it.

About tired of hearing the Super Mario 1-Up sound.

Bregman is starting to be visibly frustrated by the bad strike calls he's getting.

How many Ks is that for Bregman in his last 10 ABs? Seems like a lot

Blummer just said Bieber has 5 strikes that didn't touch the zone while Bielak has 0.

Bwahaha. Bieber and the catcher were halfway to the dugout expecting that bad call and didn't get it.

You can't tell me Dusty didn't concede this game before it started. He's managing as if we are the ones with a 5 game lead in the division

8 in his last 22 ABs. Really bad

I'm pretty sure I will accept any outcome for this season if it means Dusty doesn't manage another game for us.

This is the time bomb exploding for Bielak.

It was obvious the numbers would correct themselves.

Yep. Worst slugging team in the league with 5 XBHs already through 5+ innings is getting shelled

Shouldnt have even bothered turning this on when i saw the lineup card

As bad as this lineup is, not handling biz on Friday is much worse. This team obviously needs a break to reset and hopefully comes back ready to grind out some close wins at home. Thank goodness they won yesterday.

What ump is behind the plate today?

The one who doesn't want to show up Laz Diaz by calling a good game.

It's just time to accept this team isn't that good.

Worse teams have got hot at the end of the year, but we're probably looking at no postseason this year.

I know I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, but Dusty sucks.
Beau Holder

It's good enough if it had a replacement-level manager. It's not good enough when you consider the depth from last year is gone and the manager has personally cost them a minimum of five games and will never learn or change.

Despite all the problems, they're in playoff range with plenty of time to go. But the mismanagement of personnel and lack of concern about winning from the dugout will continue.

Too early for that talk. We are only a few games behind.

So by my count there are 15 more Sundays left in the schedule. If Dusty trots out a white flag lineup like this every time and we go 5-10 in those games that means we have to go 48-33 in every other game to get to 90 wins.

Dusty, if you are reading this that's why you can't do this. Resting a guy is fine. You can't rest half the lineup with your worst pitcher and give up games.

It's a bit early for this take. Let's wait until we see what additions, if any, happen via trade.

Does Salazar even have a hit? His ABs are atrocious
Jet Black

Seems like a mediocre team to me. Way to many scrubs in the lineup on a daily basis.

Bregman Ks again

That reaction by Bregman kind of sums up this team's mojo right now.

The perfect game for Montero
