Yeah, like 2015 said. Dubon has been playing like someone who gets cut after spring training. Meyers wasn't great the last month, but about double the run production of Dubon. Since July 12ndChanceAg96 said:
I just thought Dubon had been a little better recently than Meyers. I just felt he was better in clutch situations with his ABs. Meyers just stinks at the plate and I hate watching him.
Have we ever seen 2015 and DB at the same time?texasaggie2015 said:
No problem. Spoke with Dusty last night.

Well he certainly looked elite against Seattle in the playoffs.texasaggie2015 said:
If y'all want more mystery added, I was told yesterday that the Astros are seriously considering moving Luis Garcia to the bullpen when he gets healthy. They think he has elite relief stuff and could be dominant coming out of the pen.

FYI
That 40% will be *****ing at the new skipper. I mean that's what the threads were for Hitch, Porter...k20dub said:
If Dusty is gone next year, this thread is going to have about 40% less posts on it just from no one *****ing about Dusty's lineups...
You seriously comparing a QB position in FB to a hitting position in lineup?Beat40 said:Texaggie7nine said:I respect no special exceptions. Earn it.Beat40 said:But for Yordan that is ****ing stupid. Yordan shouldn't have to win anything back. He's the best hitter on the team and there is no way in hell you can justify him batting 5th. Just none.Texaggie7nine said:
I'm not a fan of Dusty's lineups but I don't have a problem with Yordon batting where he is. Dusty has always taken the approach of, you have to win your spot back after coming back from injury, and Yordon hasn't done that yet.
Now why Chas isn't batting higher up....
So if Patrick Mahomes gets hurt before the season, will be out 8 weeks, and Blane Gabbert is having a really good start to the season, Mahomes should have to earn the starting spot back when he's ready to go week 9?
It's freaking Yordan Alvarez we're talking about here. You don't tell him to earn it and bat him 5th.
Mr President Elect said:I'm confused... this doesn't look like a Dusty lineuptexasaggie2015 said:
Altuve 2B
Bregman 3B
Alvarez DH
Tucker RF
Diaz C
Abreu 1B
McCormick LF
Peña SS
Meyers CF
All things considered... not bad.
Does this mean that more providers will be able to show them on TV instead of just Directv and Fubo?Quote:
As for the Southwest Division is concerned, the Astros and Rockets expect to purchase the network in order to keep broadcasting games
Yes. It's not about sport, it's about the person. Mahomes is an MVP and Alvarez is an MVP caliber player. Those guys have already earned it and they don't have to earn their spot back coming from an injury.Texaggie7nine said:You seriously comparing a QB position in FB to a hitting position in lineup?Beat40 said:Texaggie7nine said:I respect no special exceptions.

I hope so. I don't watch enough TV to worry about cable, but it would be really nice to have the game on in the background each night.redline248 said:Does this mean that more providers will be able to show them on TV instead of just Directv and Fubo?Quote:

The best part of Maldy having a 3-3 night was that it finally forced Dusty to reconsider playing him

All I want is for the games to be on MLB TV and no blackouts. I'd pay for MLB every year if they did that.n_touch said:I hope so.

Typo in the last tweet. Dusty Baker said José Urquidy is starting on Sunday and J.P. France will be available out of the bullpen.

At some point I think France was going to get lit up, so maybe they're looking at it that way.EastCoastAgNc said:Typo in the last tweet. Dusty Baker said José Urquidy is starting on Sunday and J.P. France will be available out of the bullpen.

Of all the people to move to the bullpen, why choose your (statically) best starting pitcher?
This. Put the pitchforks down...Chrundle the Great said:
I'm guessing he means as an emergency tandem starter for that game if Jose struggles not permanently bullpen.

Dusty reads TexAgs - that lineup is proof
Asked if he had to talk to rookie starter Hunter Brown about the Yankee Stadium environment, Dusty Baker said: "No, he's from Detroit. I don't know no punks out of Detroit. All the dudes I played with out of Detroit are some cool, borderline gangsters."

And this is what I love about Dusty and how he can connect with players and even younger players...and he knows what makes them tick, like not having Pressly up in the bully when Framber went out for the 9th because he knew it had bothered him in the past.texasaggie2015 said:Asked if he had to talk to rookie starter Hunter Brown about the Yankee Stadium environment, Dusty Baker said: "No, he's from Detroit.
