Madris is hitting in front of 3 other batters
. He shouldn't be hitting in front of 3 batters in Sugar Land or Corpus

I wonder if after this season when Dusty finally retires, if bench coach Espada makes lineups like this if we will give him the same treatment?

Or will he get the "He's a new manager trying to figure things out" excuse?

I will give him the same reactions. Unless they start giving us legit reasons with no "he slept wrong" type of answers

I wonder if Dana told him over the break he needed to play Diaz more at catcher, and this is his way of telling him to go to hell.

This will make 4 seasons of him watching the lunacy of Dusty's lineups. If he hasn't learned how to avoid them I will be very vocal.

I agree with all of these posts but how many of them are informed by Art Howe's refusal to play the guy in Moneyball?

I think we win 90 +/- 2. I'm going with 89-73

I think they're informed by all the boneheaded things Dusty has done over the last nearly three years.

It would be hilarious if it turns out Espada is really the one making the lineups

I think Espada might be gone by association. Dana wants as far away from these shenanigans as possible.

When Dusty was out for medical (I think) reasons he would still send Espada the lineups.

Wait, I thought Dusty would play the best players after the break... that's what everyone said, right?

We should throw Dusty in there for a bag of potato chips.

It looks so much worse when you put the batting averages next to the names. What a dumbass

I hope the Astros plan is to let him play 3 games in a row for Sugarland and then get him back to the Astros. He can continue his minor league rehab against the Rockies and A's next week.


If we don't get to see Yordan at Coors then we riot

I really don't understand the rationale behind burying Peña 8th in the lineup.

Let's all remember the day that Dusty intentionally chose

.111/.200/.167 0 HR, 0 RBI, OPS+ 4

Over

.263/.277/.492, 10 HR, 21 RBI, OPS+ 108

And I suspect the sole reason is lefty over righty.
