    Meyers is now batting .308 with a .787 OPS. Definitely wouldn't have predicted that coming back from injury.

    ....he'll strike out but the ump didn't notice, so he draws a walk, just like I predicted.

    Yup, that's pretty much what should be expected from a lead off hitter with a .580 OPS

    I don't think he's gotten back all his power. I imagine he couldn't really hit the weights until recently.

    Is Dubon leading off better or worse than Goodrum and Robel in the 2 hole?

    So Dubon is basically Aledmys Díaz who can’t hit. Great pickup.

    You want to have your worst and second worst hitter batting back to back.....but usually it's in the 8 and 9 hole.

    Better than pitching Abreu multiple innings a day after he threw 22 mediocre pitches.

    Dusty is a genius, he knows the win streak is weighing heavily on the minds of the team, so he's doing all he can to end that streak.

    That's the best spin I can come up with.
