I always say this, but I donât understand, at all, why you donât try to steal Jake there. Or why Altuve wasnât on the move earlier in the inning.
One guy isnât going to make the difference. Thereâs a whole roster full of suck fight now. They were doomed as soon as it was announced that Tucker was out.
One guy doesnât make all the difference, but sticking a guy who was in Triple AAA two weeks ago in the five hole is excessive. He also has had one good game since Abreu went down.
Iâd rather have Peña in the two hole between Altuve and either Yordan or Tucker than Singleton batting higher than 7th.
We both know Diaz isnât going to be the primary catcher this season. If you want his bat in the lineup everyday, he needs to get starts at 1B and DH.
