I was telling someone earlier today when talking about prospective lineups that if Tucker and Abreu are going to bat back to back having Chas be next would be the move. He hits lefties so well that if the other team wants to bring in a lefty against them that he would at least be the third batter. See exhibit 1.
Eventually our dipshit manager and pitchers are going to realize it’s better to win 5-2 with Diaz catching and hitting than lose 2-1 with Maldy intangibles. Or they won’t.

Yeah we should be happy about losing winnable games because we have people on our roster who shouldn’t even be there. Yes even the best make outs like Yordan. The problem is not the out or the loss. It’s that nothing was done to get batters with real major league at bats and experience to be up there instead of Singleton. Everybody is free to raise your Pom poms and cheer the good effort. Winning 7 of 10 doesn’t do much when the team your chasing wins 9-10. I’m just pointing out the absurdity of a team with real championship talent and expectations putting those expectations in the hands of people who don’t belong. There were other options no matter what we were told. And I’ll bitch if I want! 😆
