All of this could be easily solved if Julks went down and Salazar came up. And if JV prefers Maldy, we'll that's just how it is as far as I'm concerned.

This is pathetic. Tony Adams just proved Dusty wrong.

Also Jake is light years better in CF than Dubon.

What's his excuse for copy and pasting the top part of the lineup from our non productive games?

Altuve
Peña
Tucker
Bregman
Yordan

Is a f/cking middle finger to his superiors as far as I am concerned, it is certainly a middle finger to me and if he doesn't want me to watch his sh/t this is the perfect way to ensure that

OK, what does Yordan hit against lefties? Why TF is he 5th in the order and not 3rd like last night. What is Pena hitting against lefties? Why is he second in the order?

I just wish one of these reporters would ask him that but I guess they're afraid to or that they'll get their access pulled.

You know Diaz's wife is pulling her hair out...I remember her meeting Donkey (OK, Dusty) and telling him "play my husband more!"

If Diaz goes on in the next few years to become one of the best hitting catchers in the league we will look back at how criminally underused he was in his first year with us.

The same Grae Kessinger that botched an easy throw to first and allowed the Angels to walk us off recently?

So Dusty wants the "best" defense out there? Why is Dubon in CF? Literally makes 0 sense.

Also, you think it might be important to give JV some ****ing run support in his first start back? That lineup is hideous. We went from solid to **** in less than 24 hours. Unreal.

I can't f-cking believe this. You're telling me JV would rather have a guy that can't cover half the ground Meyers can b/c he has a stronger arm

Dusty is a freaking stubborn idiot and has 100% been solely responsible for at least 8 losses this year

There is a reason he didnt win anything prior to last year and it took an al time pitching staff and lineup for him to finally win

After seen what the lineup last night did, to put this one out today is flat out an eff you to fans

Shohei - 1 home run every 10.2 AB
Judge - 1 every 9.7 (wow)
Yordan - 1 every 11.5 AB
Alonso - 1 every 12.1 AB
Betts - 1 every 13.8 AB
Tucker - 1 every 20.9 AB


Yainer - 1 every 16.5 AB

"He isn't a good defender at 1B and can't hit lefties."

Yainer ranks in the top 20 for Barrels per Plate Appearance. Let's make sure we don't maximize how often he hits

During the pre-game show on ATT Dusty said Dubon playing CF was his preference and that "I'm the manager, you know" (followed by belittling the reporter). JV's preference had nothing to do with it according to Dusty; it's all him. At least he's taking full responsibility.

Dana needs to give Chandler full permission to go off-leash and make Dusty uncomfortable.

Something has to happen because in no universe are these bizarre lineup constructions acceptable in the middle of a heated race.

Quietly, Seattle had jumped Boston and Da Jankees in the WC race. Seattle were sellers in July.

We are probably at the end of the Dusty regime and his comments to media show the strains of it all. That said, the biggest reason I would like a change next season is so that this annual thread can change the subject. Having every third post about Dusty is really a drain.

How do y'all do that if you have 3 kids under 6?


I have a couple alibis:
A) wife doesn't want to do **** today so I can go as I please today. (Helps I've been up since 0600 knocking out the honey do list)
B) kids are 16,11,&4. I have a reasonable expectation they'll all be alive and house still standing if we go out for a couple of hours and relatively close
C) we only live 10 mins from my in-laws.

And people get upset that I call him Donkey.

I really hope at some point, perhaps the playoffs, he will go with the lineup of death. Problem is you got to MAKE the playoffs first.

So I take it you'd rather see Grae at SS and Abreu back at first. You're right, that would definitely make it better


If Peña must start that's fine but he doesn't need be in the top half of the order.

We have to vent somewhere…it's unreal. Insiders saying he's back next year so get ready for our window to be waisted yet again. How do the players accept this?
