I feel like Dusty is that guy in the group project who is unreliable, doesn't know what's going on, but then on the day of the presentation he comes in and nails it out of nowhere.

The regular season he's horribly frustrating, inept at times… but when the postseason hits he has been absolute nails with his decisions.
Almost like he knows what the "right" decision is but likes giving different players a variety of chances over the course of the season (for a multitude of reasons) because every game isn't a must win like the playoffs.....

"every game isn't a must win" in this context. What is the cut off before the manager should be expected to at least attempt to win games? May? June? How many games back do you have to be before it qualifies?
Please just stop.

Who said "every game isnt must win" means the same thing as "a manager... at least attempt to win" GTFO

Enough of this 'Hey this isn't allowed go clean up and switch your glove' BS.

If there's substance there that justifies them making you wash your hands or switch your glove then that's illegal and you should be ejected or suspended.

Why even fckn check? They got caught. They should be punished per the rules.

Imagine how mad you'll be when one of our pitchers gets suspended for the exact same thing.

Max plays for the wrong New York team. If he was on the Yankees he could wash his hands, continue to pitch, AND have the opponent's manager ejected for complaining.

No, because I think Salazar will be sent down when LMJ or Altuve is activated. Diaz will take Salazar's ABs and he will serve as primary backup catcher.

I think the transactions will be:

Julks sent down when Brantley is back (because of options/not performance).
Salazar down when Altuve is back.

Edited to correct idiocy.

Fair assessment, but if he takes 100% of Salazar's starts and PH spots, it only moves him from 153 to 225 ABs. That's better, yes, but that also eliminates the chance of Diaz playing DH and lessens the likelihood of him playing LF/1B if that's possible.

I'm (pleasantly) shocked both Tucker and Yordan are playing tonight. Figured Dusty would have given one or both the night off after the rolled ankle and foul off the knee.

Yep. I'm not sure he gets that 300 ABs this year.

I get all of the Diaz stuff but when we are back to 100% healthy Diaz should only see C at bats and maybe a few at first for Abreu's off days

C Maldy, Diaz
1B Abreu, Diaz/Hensley
2B Jose, Dubon/Hensley
3B Bregman, Hensley
SS Pena, Dubon/Hensley
LF Yordan, Brantley, Chaz
CF Chaz, Dubon, Meyers
RF Ted, Chaz

Tuck is an iron man. From looking like his knee cap could've exploded to getting up and singling, then playing again the next day.

In the era of load management and all that, TED is an absolute legend for stepping back in there and ripping that single…and then for playing today.

I really wish the organization would find a way to keep him for the duration.

Was he ejected for sticky substance or was he ejected for arguing with the umpire?

Yes. But the league will probably officially say it was for arguing to try and let it blow over.

Hensley's getting his first homer off a Berrios fastballs and god-willing, so will Abreu.

If George gets 9 ABs, it's going to be a very long night.
