    Maldy is worthless with the bat… two runners in scoring position? Pinch hit there…

    Pivetta has gone two with a lower pitch count than Greinke in one inning.

    On a 3-1 pitch. Don’t give a crap how many times he’s caught Zack. SHOULD NOT be starting.

    You want to start Maldy... fine. But with 2 outs and runners on you put in Castro. Don't care what inning it is.

    Not too early to pinch hit at this point.

    Put in Castro. Jesus. The difference in calls and leadership can’t possibly make up for the
    difference in their hitting.

    This is why i was rooting for a maldonaldo injury last game @DreamShook

    There was never any doubt in my mind that he would continue to ruin our rallies. Dusty does not deserve to win this series considering he stubbornly sticks by this dude.

    According to the world, the Astros are still doing it, so why not them?

    You can accept a star player in the regular season going off come october. A .250 BA .750 OPS hitter doubling both stats is beyond David Freeze levels of infuriating.

    Rooting for an injury? Pathetic

    It’s getting to the point where you have to pinch hit in that situation. You just can’t waste scoring opportunities anymore.

    Really can't think of a reason not to pinch hit Maldy right there.
