    Young QBs take over plenty times, especially when the old one sucks.

    Terrible analogy to justify terrible decisions.

    I am still hopeful that June (119 wRC+) or even July (110 wRC+) Abreu is the one we see.

    He doesn't need to be great, just not a drain.

    With Altuve, Bregman, Tucker, Yordan, Chad, and Diaz all significantly over 100 the rest of the lineup just needs to avoid dick stomping.

    This has all to do with his adopted son Maldonado.

    Dusty all but admitting the front office does not agree with his use of Diaz.

    The only positive I could take from this BS is that he is well aware the fanbase is all over his ass about this situation.

    Damn is that quote real? I seriously think there's something wrong with Dusty's head...seems delusional.

    Why is there no middle ground with Dusty? Why does it have to be "everyday" or "once a week". Why not 2/3 Maldy, 1/3 Diaz? Why not even 3/4 Maldy, 1/4 Diaz? As it stands, he's having him catch 1/6 days.

    Exactly.

    April - Diaz once per rotation
    June - Diaz twice per rotation
    August - Diaz three times per rotation
    End of regular season/playoffs - Diaz 4 times per rotation

    This isn't rocket science.

    2 starts at catcher in 11 days for Diaz, clearly Dusty is still 'working" him in.:rolleyes:

    I think he'll catch France tomorrow, but I'm not even sure about that anymore.

    You can settle for that. At this point I won’t be satisfied until Dusty and maldy are keelholed.
