Well Tucker got fucked that inning

Happy to see that Jose Abreu is fitting back in nicely to the lineup, and he’s back to his full capacity. 

Well i guess the positive is he is almost to 50 pitches through 2

I would like to see JP hit a fly ball to the outfield. It’s been a while.

I didn’t say he was good. But he’s been better than Meyers. And way more versatile defensively. 

Breggy Bomb !

he was first half mvp

Bregman keeping us alive.

The question is why Meyers....who plays OF....keeps playing. The answer is because he is a better option....to play the position he plays, which is OF, than Julks or Dubon.

Dubon being able to play 1st or 2nd or ss doesn't have any impact on why Meyers is playing OF over him

And he sucks....so that should help explain the situation we are in

Then why does Dusty consistently pinch hit for Meyers in the 8th and 9th innings? With Dubon being one of those pinch hitters?

Have ya’ll ever noticed that Jake’s swing and hands are awkward?

There is a gap between his hands, which makes his follow through funky. 
 

Why wouldn’t a hitting coach fix that obvious discrepancy?




With Dubon being one of those pinch hitters?


Not sure why i am even entertaining your dumbass with a response but that has literally happened 1 time in the month of August being 3 days ago

Ahh yes, when I think Detroit I think of humpback whales...

Up by 4. I think it’s safe to say we need some insurance runs, due to our closer.

Dude. I’m too lazy to do it, but if you put Dubon’s slash line next to Meyers, you would understand the possibility that he might be the better option. 
 

Meyers might be better on defense. But it’s not by much. 

I bet JP sighs with relief when he gets hit by a pitch

Our heroes have scored 9 runs.  That is fucking outstanding.

Houston has 12 LOB.  That is incredible, given the previous statement.

Jake was great tonight. He’s a bonafide every day player. 
 

He’s not 5-tool. Actually he is a no-tool player. 
 

He always looks very confused and that things are moving way too fast for him.

Yes Meyers has a higher OBP/SLG/OPS/OPS+

Dubon has like 30 pt higher BA

Anything else?

When/if Brantley comes back, Meyers will be collecting splinters. 

When/if Brantley comes back, Meyers will be collecting splinters. 
Which is what needs to happen.

Both Meyers and Dubon suck. Back to original question of why is Meyers playing so much is because he is currently best option (out of shit)

Brantley/Yordan fix this issue when Brantley comes back

Dubon has a 1.7 WAR

Meyers has a 1.6 WAR

Boom goes the dynamite. 
 

 

Dubon has a 1.7 WAR
Meyers has a 1.6 WAR

Do you even know what is factored into WAR?


Also hate to break it to you but Meyers fangraph WAR is 1.8 and Dubon 1.3

But keep going this is fun

I agree with you that they both suck. 
 

It could be easily put to bed if Yordan would play left field. But that’s dangerous. He could stub his toe running off the field. And miss 2 months. 
 

Or the opposing bastard team could pop fireworks again when he’s out there. This could cause Yordan to get lightheaded. He missed two games for just such an event. 
 

Yordan bats better when he plays the field. 
 

But the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.
