Honest question. What does Dubon do in CF that McCormick can't?
He hits lefties well
That's fan stuff, brother. I don't care about facts when I'm spouting Dusty reasoning

Might be remembering wrong, but didnt Chas take a ball in the middle of his back last night from bear claw?
He did but it was offspeed. He didn't look effected by it at all.
Maldonado should never play again.
Stop setting yourself up for anger/disappointment
Guys... Chas has played every day since missing that game in Baltimore when he got dinged up. This is just a normal off day. This isn't some Dusty Baker conspiracy thing.
I was in that bar back in 2014 one very late night. The Tigers were in town. And out comes Kate Upton and Justin Verlander from a private room in the back.Marvin said:
Altuve cycle last night. Brantley's return tonight.
Had multiple pints in the Sons of Liberty old haunts this afternoon, plus the Cheers bar right now.
Really enjoying this Boston trip!
That may well be true but the inquiry is relevant anyway since Dusty, with not a soul asking for it, concocted the galaxy brain idea that Dubon must be in center when Verlander pitches.

Beats the hell outta my visit. Thanks for the mammaries!
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Chas got enough days off earlier in the season when Dusty refused to play him consistently. With his numbers and at this point in the season, he should not be getting days off.

Edit: I didn't see the end of the gif. Thought it just said "don't tell me what to do"
Guys need a day off sometimes. It just is what it is.
This time of year everyone has bumps and bruises they're nursing. Could very well be the case here.

I'm guessing this is not the case, and given that Chas did not play consistently for at least 1/3 of the season (if not more), he should be fresher than most.

Should be:
1. Altuve
2. Tucker
3. Bregman
4. Yordan
5. Chas
6. Pena
7. Singleton (or Brantley if he comes back)
8. Diaz
9. Abreu
Brantley ain't coming back
I give up trying to be rational on this board lol
at least Dusty is letting Yainer catch France again
wasn't sure that was going to happen after his comments last week

Yeah... I've said numerous times before that this was quite the shock to everyone in the organization. About six weeks ago they had just about written him off completely. I haven't heard exactly what changed (if anything) but I'm happy to be wrong here.
This thread is borderline unbearable at times. It's like a one-issue candidate in politics. Let's make sure every other post is about Dusty Baker. Okay. We get it. You hate him. He doesn't do much for me either and I hope his is sitting on a front porch in the mountains next season but he is an accomplished baseball man and has a ring here in Houston. Enough already.
Dusty. Donkey. Dusty. Donkey. We get it.
Dusty. Donkey. Dusty. Donkey. We get it.
Baker said Brantley will DH tomorrow, Abreu will be off and Singleton will start at first.

I'm very surprised he's going to play back to back days.
arguably...the proof of the pudding with Brantley...
can he help the Astros hit those right-handed Seattle starters...Castillo, Kirby, Gilbert, et al
has a month to get ready

What the ****?!?
It's like that guy in fantasy football who's in last place and just drops a bunch of his players just to mess with the rest of the league.
BREAKING: The Los Angeles Angels have placed starter Lucas Giolito, relievers Matt Moore and Reynaldo López, and outfielders Hunter Renfroe and Randal Grichuk on waivers, sources tell ESPN. Huge potential playoff implications: All can be claimed by teams for free on Thursday.

Matt Moore would be perfect at add to the bullpen. I wouldn't be mad at Giolito either.
What is the point of this aside from just dumping some salary for a month? Clearing spots for young dudes on the 40man?
Who gets the players will be determined by reverse order of record. The team with the worst record that puts in a claim on a player will receive him. And there are going to be plenty of claims put in from playoff-caliber teams that need a starter, bullpen help and bats.

Like Farmer said.. Matt Moore would be an absolute perfect fit in our bullpen. Wow.
Giolito hasn't been good for the Angels but I wouldn't mind kicking the tires to give guys like Javier, Brown and France some rest.

where's the players union?

These players can get picked up by contenders. I don't think any will be left off.

We're 23rd pick at the moment. Phillies, Blue Jays, Cubs, Twins, DBacks, Red Sox, Giants, Reds, & Marlins will have a chance to scoop them up before us.
Singleton needs to have a seat too.
I've never seen guys need so many days off in a sport where some games you barely move.

Wow! Matt Moore please! He would be great in our BP.
maybe the Angels were already considered a cupcake...
but that gives Seattle 3 easy games between their tough series vs. the Rays and Dodgers

Who between us and the Rangers has the better record right now? If the Rangers are worse, they will go all in on any bullpen help at all. Also, who would we theoretically dump from the bullpen to bring in someone new?
They're on Arlington, Tampa, & Balitmore's schedule too.W said:

What a dumb franchise
