Yordan needs a day off. He's been salted arse for weeks. He followed up the home run last night with a terrible AB chasing crap put of the zone.

No reason for Yuli to be batting 2nd though.

Yed, who hasn’t played the field since Saturday and had a day off Monday sits while Maldonado catches the day after a night game.

frick Dusty Baker with a cactus. This is just blatant shitting on the GM.

Me seeing Yuli at 2
Me seeing Yordan benched
Me seeing Mancini at DH and not a LF or 1B
Me seeing Maldy at C after a night game

Altuve - 2B
Bregman - 3B
Mancini - LF (or DH)
Yordan - DH (or LF)
Tucker - RF
Vasquez - 1B
Peña - SS
Chas - CF
Moldy - C

Rotate 1B/LF between Mancini, Diaz depending on Vasquez catching

Rotate DH/LF between Yordan, Mancini, Diaz based on above

How tf can he seriously look at these stats and still insist on batting Yuli 2nd. I truly believe he knows what hes doing and is making lineups purely out of spite.

Yuli splits by position in order:

Under. Not confident enough that he'll have that many to even leave on base.

Would love to be a fly on the wall in that front office

Could see Click taking a job with a different team after this season if he isn't allowed to replace the manager. .

Lol in his pregame Comments he basically said he has to have Yuli if he has a gb pitcher because he is the "gold glove" and if he has a fly ball pitcher he has to have the best fly ball catchers out there.

Basically saying I'm not gonna play Mancini and click shouldn't have traded for him.

Arrogance and stupidity are quite the combo. (trust me I know what I'm talking about)

Left unaddressed is that even with that idiotic comment, he could play Mancini at 1B when he starts a fly ball pitcher.

Or, even better, he could start Mancini every day because he’s a better player at this point. But, yeah …

The fact that multiple media members are questioning his lineups is a hint the tide is turning on his jackassery.

Baker said he plays Mauricio Dubón in CF when Verlander is pitching "to stop them going first to third, because it's going to be a low-scoring, close game with J.V. pitching."


When you start the biggest dogshit lineup you can including Dubon, you're damn right it's going to be a low scoring game. Stupid arse motherfricker.

He gives no stats or analyltics. It's all shite managers said 50 years ago. This MF being retained was a death sentence

I just watched his interview and it makes me want to jump off a bridge. If this motherfricker hits Yuli second in a playoff game because of his defense at first base I’m not sure I can watch October baseball

Also Mancini grades out better than Yuli defensively at first this season, not that it really matters.

Daily Chandler Rome tweet that "tells us Dusty is a dumbass without telling us Dusty is a dumbass"

The Astros' game on Sunday in Cleveland aired on Peacock. Dusty Baker couldn't find a way to watch it in quarantine, so he opted for a Bob Marley documentary on Netflix instead.

"That was a pretty good afternoon," Baker said. "I followed the game on my phone."

He is a relic. Him being the manager of a team like this is like buying a new Porsche with all of the add-ons and then putting a 1994 Geo Metro engine in it.

Which just means he's going to double down to show the haters who question him. You know he's getting sick of being questioned about Mancini not playing.
