I love JV but he isn't a manager. Him dictating a lineup is ludicrous
He didn't state he wanted Dubon in CF. That was a 100% Dusty decision.




Where did Dusty say Dubon has to play CF for JV? I legit missed that


He said it last year. He thinks Dubon can cut down on triples because he has a better arm than Chas or Jake.


Am I crazy or didn't Dubon log an outfield assist in JV's start for the Astros against the Yankees? I'd say have Chas in left that would be fine if Yordan didn't hit so much better while playing in the OF.

If you have to have Maldy catching though it makes it tough to get Chas and Diaz playing unless you have Chas in CF, Yordan in left, and Diaz DH'ing. Then again Diaz hits much better playing catcher.

Frankly JV should be calling his own game, Diaz catching, Chas center, and Yordan LF if we're going by trying to score the most runs.


He threw out Stanton. It's not hyperbole to suggest I could have thrown out Stanton.
I think most of us could have thrown out Stanton on that play. I think most of us could have also beaten the throw home on that play.

If Abreu goes on the IL, who would we even call up from AAA? Salazar maybe?

Because something else would have likely been leaked.

we already have 2 utility infielders. A 3rd catcher or Julks would be more likely

Hopefully a third catcher so Dusty is out of excuses why Maldy is still playing after the starting pitcher comes out in the latter third of games.

The exact headline I needed from Awful Announcing in regards to the Orioles' situation.

Baltimore Orioles play-by-play announcer Kevin Brown is not the other Kevin Brown you're thinking of

Outside of that one hilariously predictable own goal, not too shabby. Glad to see Singleton get a longer look than one game given our other option at 1B right now.

I honestly wonder, if Chas didn't have a semi-injury, if he'd be in the line-up tonight with facing a LHP.

There's no way pena continues to be this bad for the final 1.5 months. I choose to be optimistic.

Ouch...he never should have made it past 0-16 with us, let alone 0-37 or whatever it ended up being. That was Dusty "hoping" instead of managing.

Just like he "hopes" a starting pitcher will get out of a 6th or 7th inning jam instead of being decisive and managing the situation. We joke that he's napping but it's really him just hoping instead of managing.

I like 1 the best but it's probably a nostalgia thing. Some of my earliest memories are going to the Dome with my dad in the mid-late 90s.

Only thing about 1 is I do associate it with playoff choking. 97-99 were great but heartbreaking.
