Wtf …. I was hoping to give Dusty the benefit of the doubt but Pena and Alvarez back to 2 & 5 is inexcusable
Just think however mad you are, this has to piss off the team so much
Gig 'Em and God Bless

Let me know when it's not warranted

I'm not even upset about Kessinger being in. I'd rather see Diaz at 1B but that is what it is.
At this point Dusty has to be trolling everybody putting Yordan back at 5 and Pena at 2
If he keeps the same 2-5 as last night, and then Kessinger, Dubon and Maldy play… I could live with that. But seeing something work and then throwing it all out is essentially the same as Sumlin being like "we're up 38-10 on ucla running the ball…. Might as well throw it 30 times now"

We saw what worked yesterday. Why alter it that much?
Enlighten me why complaints are not 100% warranted?07ag said:

So just like last year, JV always got the ****tiest lineups and had to be absolutely dominant so we could win while scoring 3 runs or lessEastCoastAgNc said:It's finally #JVDay.

Got to cut those triples to the gaps off. Because Jake can't get to the gaps.
Unreal.
ETA. I guess it could be worse. Mr 0-36 could be patrolling LF

You'll never convince me that Stanton isn't on roids.
I believe he is on the Gaston "5 dozen eggs per day" diet so he's roughly the size of a barge
Why the f isn't Diaz batting

What in the world is this lineup…Justin Verlander on the mound for the Astros for the first time since Game 5 of World Series.

Sigh. Welp, JV, you better pitch your ass off because run support likely won't be there unless we do it in spite of Donkey's dumbassery.
Just when I thought we had turned the corner with the lineup. Yordan back at #5. It's like we're trying to not score runs.
That 7-8-9 is brutal

This was Jim Edmonds
That's hilarious
Letting Kessinger spell Abreu no issue (although still not fan of completely sitting Diaz, as the guy just needs to play and no other organization in baseball would have a guy like Diaz in a split time role). However, absolutely no reason to change the top of the order after last night and move up Peña.
It's a message board, dude. Sorry we're upset about a stubborn ass manager who continues to bat one of the weakest hitters on the team 2nd and inexplicably bats not only the best hitter on the team but one of the best hitters in baseball 5th because someone told Donkey in 1972 that you always split your lefty bats up.07ag said:

Hey guys we found Dusty's sock
And if I'm Cortes I don't give Yordan ANYTHING to hit at all because all you have to do is just get to that 7-8-9 and it's easy like Sunday morning.Frok said:

ETA - If Yordan leads off an inning (very f***ing likely btw) just walk him and Chas and mow down our crappy hitters.
I really hope the juice of having Justin on the bump will help us today as we'll need it.
That 7-8-9…
No, the beating is teams BEATING us because Donkey is a stubborn ass hole.Bregxit said:EastCoastAgNc said:07ag said:

Nah. It has gotten to Nuke *****ing about Hinch levels of annoying but it is over half the posters. It is such a beating now.
wow, that lineup is awful
(and I'm okay with Kessinger at first base)
(and I'm okay with Kessinger at first base)
This gd lineup is so fking bad..come on dusty what the hell
Can anyone actually explain to me why that lineup is remotely acceptable? And why Dusty shouldn't be raked over the coals for it?
I'm fairly confident (I stopped playing baseball in high school) that baseball players like consistency. I get giving days off as it's a long season. But Dusty puts lineups out there like he's at the ****ing bingo hall. Just dumps all the guys names in one of those basket things and let 'er rip.
Baseball players just want to know that 90% of the time they'll be playing a certain position and hitting in a certain location. It's not that ****ing hard to do.

C'mon guys, did y'all forget the JV lineup already? Of course Dubon was going to be in center and Maldy in the bucket. Dusty even caved and gave Abreu a day off.Prosperdick said:*******. Donkey.BCSGrubber said:

Ummm it's pretty warranted today. This just abysmal. In the heat of a division race no less.
