Wtf …. I was hoping to give Dusty the benefit of the doubt but Pena and Alvarez back to 2 & 5 is inexcusable

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"

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 less

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

100% chance that he has at some point been on something roidy.


I believe he is on the Gaston "5 dozen eggs per day" diet so he's roughly the size of a barge

*******. Donkey.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
No, the beating is teams BEATING us because Donkey is a stubborn ass hole.

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.

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