Yup, that's my point. Because of both of their propensities to walk, one of them is going to get pitches to hit or at the very least the odds increase of one guy being on before Yordan because of their walks. Add in Altuve at the top and these 3 in front of Yordan should yield more opportunities for Yordan to bat with guys on base. Not only more at bats with men on base, but more at bats with multiple men on base.

I was just thinking yesterday that Yordan has played more than I expected him to starting off.
We were due for a Yordan day off.

Don't worry, a critical spot will come up late in the game and....oh yeah, it's Dusty, he'll stay on the bench.Ag_07 said:

Yordan Alvarez has neck discomfort and flew back to Houston. Dusty Baker says they don’t know yet if he’ll go on injured list. Needs to get evaluated first.

Time to bring up Dirden
If thats the case just let him stay home until Friday

For a 25 year old he sure seems to be hurt a lot.
I bet some sketchy rub and tug in Houston can fix that this.

Move Maldonado to DH and let Salazar catch. Problem solved.

Agreed. It's McCullers like. Maybe move him to the bench so he can PH in late game situations.
Astros GM Dana Brown, in a phone interview from the Dominican Republic, on Yordan Alvarez returning to Houston to be checked out by team doctors for neck discomfort: "No doubt he'll be ready for Philadelphia (series at Minute Maid Park). At the end of the day, if he's not…” pic.twitter.com/giSjqHpZpM

Did anyone know about Yordan having a sore neck before like 30 minutes ago? This team just drops surprises on the media and fans like it's our birthday.
Been following sports a long time. Never heard of a professional athlete sitting because of a sore neck from flying.
You must have missed Yuli's IL stint in 2021 bc of a pillow.Jet Black said:

We need to cut a deal with the "my pillow guys". One for air travel as well
If you will it, then it is no dream-
