    No Yuli, Altuve, Bregman, or staff Ace.

    Sigh.

    No idea why Chas is hitting leadoff...ask Dusty.

    Chas in CF hitting 8th or so just like Straw did is not a problem I really give a **** about.

    Maton has some promise, that's all I can say about him.

    They have a 10 game lead in the WC race, so if they lose 7 straight (while everyone else won 7 straight), they still would hold a playoff spot.

    He does have a 0.400+ BA and 1.100+ OPS since the trade deadline and multiple hits in each of the last 3 games. Your normal leadoff hitter is getting the day off - seems like a good time to give him a chance and see what he can do, rather than re-arranging everyone else in the lineup.

    Remember when the Dodgers lost, what was it, 17 straight, in 2017? That was fun.

    I pointed out all of these stats before the game, thanks though, amigo.

    You bat Diaz leadoff then. But I really don't care, that's a very minor WTF.

    This is the best use of Altuve as a pinch hitter?

    Altuve .375 career pinch hitting (3-8)

    Eta- and will remain .375 after the BB
