Awesome I'll send you a dm thanks
That's good bull.
With all the money you've won off Abreu's ineptitude you should be able to afford some nice souvenirs for them.Dies Irae said:

My kids are going to thank him with they graduate from college
Got our elite defensive OF for the ground ball pitcher.
If anyone going today is able to get an extra orbit koozie or one they dont want hit me up please.
Pretty sexy lineup besides one obvious change.
I wonder what the last time any major league team had a guy with 0 HR batting cleanup this far into the season other than someone coming back from an injury.
Same thought I had. With current roster that's as good as it gets aside from one persons position and one substitution
I'd even rather see Dubon playing 1b. Now that's sad.

I wonder what the record is for fewest extra base hits from the cleanup spot in the last 30 years. We will break that this year easily if Abreau isn't moved for good soon.
Even at what we were expecting, he's a 6th hole on this team.

I'm not saying he should be there now, but your statement is revisionist
A majority of people thought he would bat 6th behind
Altuve
Pena/Brantley
Alvarez
Tucker
Bregman
Yordan should be the one getting up in Dusty's face saying you're not doing me any favors with this softy hitting behind me.
No manager that had any fear of job security would be doing that for even one game let alone day after day.
Drop Abreu to 8 and replace Maldy with Diaz and that's about as good as we can do til/if uncle Mike gets back
Without looking at any article, I'll go out on a limb and say that this line is in the bottom 3 of all time of any player in MLB who played the majority of the season at cleanup.
.218//.273/.258, ISO 0.041, .241 wOBA
0 HR, 17 RBI
48 wRC+, -1.0 fWAR

it's surprising how quickly Dusty has moved on from Dubon
Who should sit so Dubon can play? He has not played 1B, at least not at the MLB level, so unless he has been taking reps there that really isn't an option as much as we might all like it to be.

Deleted all his pics from his Facebook too. Sheesh.
Any of the following to DH and Dubon in their spot on the field:
Bregman, Peña, LF/Alvarez, CF
Or Dubon to DH
I'm still amazed I'm lobbying for this but I don't think giving him 3 days off is a smart idea given his level of play so far.

You want to replace Peña, one of the best short stops in the entire league and the gold glove winner last year??ttha_aggie_09 said:

No… I would like to keep Dubon with plate appearances and one of those options would be to occasionally give Peña an off day on the field and have him play SS. Same for Bregman, LF, and CF.
I'm not lobbying for him to start over any of them just that he can rotate in as a true utility guy while conforming to Dusty's philosophy on resting guys

How about 2018 Todd Frazier is up there. 35 games at cleanup, 39 at 5, never better lower than 6th. .488 OPS. Not the majority at cleanup but close.

****ing Julks was at DH over Dubon yesterday. That throws this entire argument out the window.
I expected Dubon to start at DH in one of the games vs. the A's
and/or maybe get an outfield start.
he is batting .300 --- ride the wave while it's hot

You must be new here… do you know who our manager is?
Julks has been a nice surprise, but Dubon has been better at the plate and in the field & I'd rather see him get those reps.

I'm shocked this doesn't look worse. I expected a complete crap show and it wasn't as bad for called strike accuracy as the idiot who did the Ranger game a few days ago. Granted it's still way below league average.
As always, the robo-ump can't get here soon enough.
I don't agree with this particular decision, but in general I don't think I want my manager making decisions out of fear for job security.Big Al 1992 said:

Probably. I still like seeing Corey getting some playing time.Beerosch said:jkag89 said:

I think there is probably a little margin on these around the edges, as they never seem as bad as when watching the game. Also, whenever there is an egregious one called against Alvarez as there was yesterday, it seems to sting a bit more.Prosperdick said:Umpire: Mark Carlson
