Watching Martin Maldonado swing at balls while batting .170 makes me question the validity of baseball as a sport.

Few days left in the Summer of Chaz Fizz.
Including tonight so far
72-for-229, 41 runs scored, 8 doubles, 2 triples, 15 home runs, 44 RBI, 10 stolen bases, 25 walks
That's a:
.314 batting average
.383 on-base percentage
.563 slugging percentage
.946 OPS
Over a 550-at bat season, that's 98 runs scored, 173 hits, 36 home runs, 106 RBI, 24 steals

Can y'all imagine this lineup without Maldy and with Diaz and Brantley? Holy ****.
Dusty won't do it. But Holy ****.
Reading between the lines from earlier posts, it sounds like he refused to play him when Chaz wasn't taking the game seriously. So on the flip side, Chaz deciding to get serious about ever phase of his game has resulted in him playing almost every day and suddenly becoming a much better player.OKCAg2002 said:The Porkchop Express said:

MVP caliber numbers. And our manager refused to play him.

It's what I'm really afraid of when Brantley returns. Diaz is going to sit because Dusty just can't fathom Maldy on the bench.

CJ settling in after 80 pitches.
that's what should happen but prolly won't. Brantley coming back may end up hurting this team because Dusty is going to Dusty.fullback44 said:OKCAg2002 said:

When Brantley starts playing - Maldy needs to ride the pine especially if we are behind in our division, Diaz should catch .. Dusty doesn't have much time to keep F ing around
What if he had Diaz DH, Brantley catch and Maldondo play left?fullback44 said:OKCAg2002 said:

Sparky just gave the 5 hit in a game stat.
Since Altuve entered the league only 4 players in MLB have done it. Peña and Springer are 2.
It's just that hard to do. 4 players in 13 years.
Ain't no way that's right. Arraez and Betts both have five hit games this year.
