We need pena to pick it up, badly 

[Mo Horn 8836]

I have the game on as I work and have been in and out of meetings so not following closely. Saw it was 1-0 and then 3-0. Looked at the boxscore. Diaz, have yourself a day.  And Pena just hit one. Who was bitching about the bottom 4 bats?

I tend to think that the splits when DH vs playing in the field are typically small sample size bullshit with people ascribing meaning to after the fact.  That's not to say it's not possible that a professional could do better as a non-DH, but it usually seems to even out after enough comparable time.  Sadly, we are nowhere near that for DIaz since Dusty just doesn't catch him much. I'd need to see 100 more games each way before I became really confident it was a thing.
Hopefully we test that theory next year by him catching 80 games and DH'ing 80 games and Lee catching the other 80.  

[David Dennison 18856]

Ball four. Furk.

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Bye Jake. Go get a bat. 

[Scraps 13561]

Lets see what Meyers and Korey Lee can get us already.

Fernando Abad?

[Mo Horn 8836]

Dubon comes through again

[Gourmand 7774]

Dubon to the rescue again

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

There is almost no one else in our lineup I feel as comfortable with as Dubon at the plate to get a hit or move runners. Unbelievable.

Earlier I noted he was finally fully weaponized again. Today he's reentered the DMZ.
