    I get the feeling Cease will miraculously find his groove again today.

    Dusty waiting for hell to freeze over with Abreu. Diaz should start over him.

    Diaz must be hurt. Any other conclusion is ridiculous.

    That’s for when the lineup flips over. Myers at 9 keeps someone fast infront of the top of the lineup instead of a slow catcher

    A single from Dubon could score Myers from second or a double from Bregman scores him from first. That’s not guaranteed with Salazar running

    I don’t hate Salazar getting a start. May be giving the catchers a little extra rest right before sending Salazar back down when altuve comes back here soon

    Salazar will probably go deep tonight. Most of the time when Dusty does something to make me say WTF ARE YOU DOING THAT FOR?!, that player has a good game. Hopefully that trend continues.

    Nobody knows what's going on with Diaz.

    We don't have to like it, but there is some reason for it. I assume and hope.

    That decision will not be the thing that wins or loses this game.

    Julks has shown some SB ability...so if he's on then you have the C to bunt him over to 3B?

    I'm spitballing here.

    On a serious note, I'm not overly concerned with Salazar playing. Diaz has plate discipline issues. Maldy can't hit.

    I believe Maldy now has eight hits in his last eight games
