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

Dubon has had more plate appearances than Meyers this season. 
 

This obviously works in Meyers’ favor.

Or is it the other way around. 
 

I feel like we’re fighting over two fat chicks at the bar.

Twins manager is as dumb as Dusty.

I'd rather Meyers be traded or DFA'd, but he does hit LHP pretty well (this season and his career). The problem is that Dusty doesn't believe in that type of shit, so Meyers plays more against RHP who he is terrible against. This is where I like the Giants way of doing things. They deploy a bunch of platoon guys, and as soon as the platoon advantage changes they switch the player.

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

All you have to do is read this thread to know that Dusty's tactics are infallible

JV day lineups are so maddening.

we joked, but Singleton is totally his first baseman now 

this is going to be a real problem in October 


if that’s our only problem, I’ll take it !

 

I think it’ll eventually be a combo or Diaz / Abreu at 1st. Singelton doesn’t make the playoff roster

Right.

I didn’t mean to insinuate that Singleton would actually be getting playoff starts, but even if it’s *just* Dubon and Diaz isn’t in the lineup, that’s still a problem.

I’m a fan of Comerica.

mostly I’m a fan of ticket prices for seats like these that are probably in line with what the same we’re going for at MMP when were losing 100+ a decade ago

Nice moon shot. 
 

I saw similar in 2021 Boston
