Y'all gotta teach me the definition of obese cause I clearly don't know.







Mine is tongue in cheek because of his nickname La Grasa.

Whoa. Dusty praising Chas out loud.

I mean he doesn't have a choice. He's spent the last 3 years trying to find ways NOT to play this guy and all chas does is just finding reasons to prove him wrong

Dusty gets a lot of grief but I think his senile almost strange stance on chas has got to be one of the more glaring oddities/blunders

It makes zero sense but Dusty doesn't even know what half the offensive and defensive metrics even mean. He has to ask Espada to explain them to him like he's 5 bc he's being retained by a roster that keeps bailing out his moronic decisions for the last 3 seasons. I'm so ready to have ANYONE in our dugout other than this guy. It's embarrassing watching it night after night

Oh, I know. Even if we were fat, it's baseball. Some of the pitching greats were fat ****s.

I don't blame him. I wouldn't want to face TED, Chas or Diaz.

So to be clear, seven runs tonight plated by guys Dusty would rather get a root canal than play every day?

EDIT: Eight actually. Lollllll

I have waffled back and forth on Bellinger a ton.

On one side he's rocking a .918 OPS. He can play anywhere in the OF and 1B. He fills a need as LHH.

But... I don't think he's as good as his #s. I don't like him. He's streaky AF. His postseason overall is a .661 OPS and .432 OPS in the WS. He has a larger sample size than most in the playoffs (excluding the Astros core).

I won't be mad if it happens, but I really hope we don't overpay for a rental that may end up being a zero.

Getting JV back with the Mets paying you to take him would be some 4-D Chess.

An outfield of Chas, Tucker, and Bellinger would be very nice

He'd be replacing Meyers/Julks and possibly Abreu at 1B. Perfect fit. But I agree that we shouldn't way overpay.

I try to stay fair. Dusty earns a bunch of blame, but our depth has been challenged. Diaz and Chas were in the lineup. There was no one on the bench that screams "I should be playing over the starters" tonight. Sure, make the argument for Julks over Meyers, but that is debatable with the upgrade in the OF.

Let's not give Dusty any credit, please

Julks over Meyers, Kessinger over Maldy

I re-watched the play on the Rangers broadcast and they showed a lot more angles. His entire foot was clearly above (as in, not touching) the plate in that pic (from another angle). Honestly, I think it was not being able to see clearly where his heel landed at the end that saved him, and maybe NY not wanting to overturn that kind of play.

plus Tucker's foot was more than halfway across home plate before the tag
