Taijuan has been really solid this season. This lineup suggests Dusty is expecting a close game. Alvarez-Bregman-Tucker will give Mets bullpen fits in late innings.
I’m honestly fine with Yordan hitting in front of Breggy while Breggy is hot since nobody wants to pitch to Yordan. When Breggy cools down, move them back to normal.
Castro just screams “I have a huge confidence problem on the field”. I played the exact same way he is right now when my confidence was rock bottom, always shit contact and not making defensive plays.
I trust in Dusty, but I like the best four bats hitting top 4. Plain Jane or whatever, give me Altuve, Bergman, Tucker, Yordan. Yordan should be up with one man on damn near 70% of the time. Make that SP throw to those four to start off the game.
guess no one is playing 2B today.
Thats more of what im getting at. We got the left side locked down
Diaz can play the entire infield he’s probably at 2nd
Yeah they should have him listed as UTL

Permanent shift. I like it.
Altuve so owns second that it’s been determined that nobody else can play second, but we can have two SS.
Dusty is so ahead of the times! Double SS lineup is the way to go!
Diaz is playing short, but he will be in the shift the entire game. He'll play approximately where the 2nd Baseman would play.
I like Meyers at 9, a 2nd lead off because Castro is basically me batting blindfolded at this point
I thought of this comment as soon as he hit that bomb
I know 😂 I was glad to be wrong
Same with Maldonado but somehow Castro is worse.
Peña and Diaz about to stand on each other’s shoulders while playing defense
I know it's lefty lefty and dusty doesn't really like to do that But Alvarez followed by Tucker has been solid gold.
“I don’t care about righty lefty.”
"Hattie. Not Pena."
I like Breg before alvarez since he gets on base so much
I’m assuming Diaz is playing 2B
I like more AB’s for Yordan.
Double shortstop is a bold strategy
It worked
I get Bregman has been hot over his last 10, but I can't see any real justification for having him bat cleanup over Yordan.
I think it’s mostly because dusty doesn’t want too many consecutive righties. Probably explains why Castro is batting 8th and not 9th

Castro should be batting 10th every game

Please post this before every Castro start
Wtf more Castro I know Maldy needs to rest his knees but come on ffs. Man I miss the Ausmus/Eusebio combo.
remember McCann and Oso Blanco?
Yes I remember him too I was sad when he went to the Braves.
Brevan McGattis?
Castro always catches for JV.
Two shortstops dusty a mad lad

What happened to Brantley?

2 SS’s i like the perma- shift dusty
Just means were in the shift all game.
Its a new innovative shift the Astros are trying
Getting in those crazy ass shifts before they ban them next year!
Mr. Magoo doing Mr Magoo things. Lol
