I have to come to this thread for solace. One of my IRL buddies defends Dusty when I whine about the lineups.

We've got offense on the bench and those that are in the game are mis-aligned.
On the bench right now...
- Jose Abreu
- Jake Meyers
- Corey Julks
That is not what I would call "offense on the bench"

Why am I so pissed about this? We've seen it all year and Dusty will not change.
Oh well.
Because at least earlier in the year Yordan or Altuve was hurt. Now they're both back and Yordan can't crack the top 3 in the lineup because of lefty pitchers, even though he and the other left he'd stack against kill lefties.
At this point it's stubbornness and self inflected harm, which is way more frustrating. It's actually got me complaining about the lineup.
You just scored 7 runs with your best hitters at the top of the lineup yesterday and you change it to willingly disadvantage your best hitter.
The fact Nestor didn't have to face Yordan with Altuve on in the first inning was criminal.
Buck Compton said:It was a change up that ended up in the middle of the plate and at the top of the bottom third of the zone. You can't watch it 3-2.MelvinUdall said:Buck Compton said:
Yikes, Tuve. Right down the pipe.
That wasn't necessarily right down the pipe, started on the outside and came back in…he should have swung, but that was a great pitch.
I agreed he should have swung, but where that pitch started fooled Altuve, it was a great pitch.

Exactly! Kessinger hits a bomb, Yordan gets an AB with bases loaded and delivers, and Dubon goes 2-4
Can't wait to be proven to be a complete imbecile.
Turns out we're a bunch of freaking baseball gurus amirite?
Mother ****er

Completely agree, but Abreu should've gotten that AB for Maldy. Absolutely absurd that it didn't happen.

Graveman ffs man
**** me to tears…
Well, that's the game.
See you guys later. Dusty and this ****ing offense give JV an L in his first game back. Gotta love it.

Need Urquidy to bring it tomorrow. Losing this series 1-3 would be inexcusable given we've had the pitching advantage in 3 games
Yeesh. Ballgame?
Dusty knows Graveman came into the team overworked as well right?
Back to just watching Wild Card standings.

Yep. Our offense isn't going to do anything.
Wow. And that's probably the game.
Astros haven't won a regular season series at Yankee Stadium since 2017. Obviously prefer the postseason success, but that's a wild stat

This lineup is so bad I honestly don't care about that HR.

Not sure Dusty knows what day of the week it is.
I'm sure those fartlington sh*tdicks are fellating each other
Is Graveman the new Montero?
Should have just let korey Lee pitch
I think they won 2/3 or 2/4 last year there?

He's Graveman…this is not unique. Didn't get the pickup, but I haven't GM'd a team to a WS championship.

Wouldn't blame them. The only consistent thing with this team has been faceplanting any time it's close to the division lead.
Won 2 of 4. Never trailed a single out in either of the 2 losses, but Dusty completely choked and decided to pitch to Judge in two obvious situations to walk him. Both times Judge walked us offttha_aggie_09 said:

This team has played about as well as this broadcast production has today
Graveman CLEARLY doesn't have it today. Get him out of there!!! As bad as the offense has been, you HAVE to give them a chance in the 9th.

The guy who did got fired so I think everyone's in the same boat with you right now.
What a cluster **** this entire game has been from the presentation to the line up to the execution.
Wild throw by Maldy allows a stolen base. Decent throw and he's out by a few feet

I think the argument could be made that they have been much worse…
So what happens if we challenge a play now. Is there a replay feed that works to the NY office?
The manager sets the tone with the making of the lineup.
I'd say pull graveman but it doesn't really matter at this point
