I'm not gonna say I like benching Chas, but he's not done himself any favors lately. He's got some hits, but some of his chases have been brutal.

Tough call. Chas is one of the few guys who's actually hit in the playoffs


Yordan .391
Chas .316
Abreu .261
Pena .227
Bregman .217
Altuve .160
Tucker .091

(Hurts to look at that)


I'm actually not envious of having to make that decision. Chas has been the most rudimentary level of adequate which is more than most of our lineup can say. But he's also been absolutely dreadful in critical run scoring situations. He's been just OK in the playoffs but he didn't finish the year strong while Dubon did and Dubon has also hit in the playoffs.


So idk. Chas has the higher potential and you'd like to give him the chance especially as one of the few guys that's gotten us hits. But it's hard to trust him after his last couple games.
