Hopefully our manager uses the players most likely to produce clutch hits.

By the numbers or instinct ?

id let Chas do or die last night, regardless of the numbers

If there are numbers that say Jon Singleton is more likely to produce a clutch hit than Chas McCormick, I'd like to see them.

😂😂😂😂 

This post presupposes those two statements are mutually exclusive, which with Dusty, somehow are not.

Mae need a surly poster in the analytics group !!

 

ld guess, they have a chart of all our hitters vs the opposing staff, and all their hitters vs out hitters. Updated, every series, with some deeper numbers 

[kevwun 15943]

I'd guess Dusty is just making shit up to cover his own ass.

[Scraps 13598]

The radio pre game has much more substance than the broadcast, they’ve talked about match ups vs specific pitchers, through out the season. 
 
that L sucked, maybe we find some clutch hits today 

Or maybe yalls boy Dubon won't fuck up in the field and put us in the position of having dipshit old man make decisions

[tx 3 putt 77928]

Please don’t get swept today

Lost the game before then...when I decided to put Maton in to fuck everything up.

The epitaph for this team if it misses the playoffs it going to be “pinch-hit for the 3rd highest OPS on the team with Jon Singleton”

Nah, it's going to be started the worst player in the majors over a top 5 catcher in baseball.

Dubon had a fucking .701 OPS in the 1st half. He likely wasn't even in the top 5 most important Astros in the 1st half of the season.

His abject refusal to listen to or pay attention to any of the numbers that matter in baseball is truly astounding. 

[Js1 85756]

So Dusty’s really in his “fuck you, pay me” phase, huh?

[cabowabo 4578]

No worries folks. We got Christian Javier on the bump tonight.

This. Looking at Singletons splits, there isn't anything that is .275 average against righties. I don't know how anyone can get to that number on him vs Holmes. Chas beats him on OPS vs righties and at home. Just a weird choice to sub him for Chas, seems personal against Chas.

[Jshep34 2381]

Unsolved mystery needs to launch a episode into Dusty not playing Chaz and Diaz during a playoff hunt. Beyond inexcusable for Dusty not to play them.

[dr99 560]

Playing Dubon after he blew the game over Chas today is a big FU from Dusty

[HtownHorn 14923]

Just think how fucking stupid you have to be to bench two of your top 4 hitters in the middle of the playoffs push when you are barely in the fucking playoffs.

Dusty mad about Chas’s brother’s tweets. 

[Hank Chinaski 6324]

This team deserves to miss the playoffs. We don’t play our best players. It’s fucking absurd. Makes it difficult to care when the club acts like it actively prefers not to win games.

You know Dusty is sad Bannon won't be available to get critical ABs in the next few weeks over Diaz and Chazzz.

[runthebone 8134]

Also, anyone with a brain should realize that we got the best out of Dubon and Maton months ago and playing them is malpractice because they are in the shittastic phase of reverting to the mean.
