He has an issue with Chas. I am not sure what it is but it has been referenced in a few articles.

So looking ahead to the playoffs. If Dusty sticks with this nonsense of having Dubon play CF when JV pitches, whatâs he going to do with all the other games? If the answer is play Chas in CF (which is obviously the right call and there shouldnât even be a debate) then why wouldnât Chas be starting in CF every game down the stretch?
Theyâre fighting not just to make the playoffs but to win the Division so every game matters. Playoffs obviously are even more important because itâs win or go gome. So if youâre going to start Chas in the most important games then why the hell wouldnât Dusty be starting him now???

Yeah, heâs lying.
Rome does not run that story without valid sources.

Honestly I think weâre just screwedâŠ.heâs going to continue to do this crap.
Did you guys know that Dubon had only started ONE game in CF all season until Verlander got here?
Now in the last week or so Dubon has started in CF FIVE times and Chas TWO times.
Last week we had the tying run on base and he pinch hit Singleton for Chas!!! You canât make this stuff up!
Earlier this year while slobbering over how good Julio Rodriguez was he saidâ with Rodriguez you just pencil his name in everydayâ. Meanwhile he has a centerfielder outperforming Rodriguez and he has 230 less ABâsâŠ.
Check this outâŠâŠanother doozy from Dusty.
What on earth!?
Pena has started consistently last year and this , his FIRST and SECOND year in the leagueâŠâŠDubon was here last yearâŠ.Why didnât he start more at SS? Was Pena already a â BIG BOYâ as a rookie? And now a second year player who has struggled throughout the year?
Remember, he had just said Rodriguez âshould just be pencilled in everyday ââŠless time in the league than ChasâŠ.
Are you seeing what non-sense this guy says just to try and cover up that he does not like ChasâŠ.beyond ridiculous.
And Chas has been a true professional despite this garbage by his manager.

Maybe Chas knows he will be here longer than Dusty.
All I see with Chas is a guy that plays hard every game.

Maybe Brown should pull a page out of Moneyball and send Dubon to SL.
Iâm kidding, of course, but it is an option.

Heâs trying to put Chas in his place. The question is why.
If his thought process was that Chas strikes out a lot, so putting him in the lineup with Maldonado isnât great, that would be a bad argument, but at least itâs something. This deal with trying to marginalize Chas is straight BS.
Now Chas is wired such that this probably motivates him, but I donât think he needs that to perform. Heâs a legit battle-tested player, and he brings it whenever heâs in the lineup. Yeah, he goes through hitting slumps just like everyone else. So what?
Even if the Astros get it together and win tbe WS, this is still managerial malpractice, especially considering the failure to get more ABs for Diaz. I hope Dusty gets another ring before he leaves, but he has to go, either way.

Not an option. Dubon has no options left

Good to know. Thanks.
Its favoritism. He played Pena like a veteran last year. I hate Rome but I suspect what heâs saying is true.
And just because Dusty refutes something doesnât mean thatâs true. I donât think Dusty has had a straight-up conversation with Chas. There might have been comments but thatâs probably it.
Lets face it. Dusty has a stupid alter-ego. The problem is his fortunate alter ego has convinced his stupid alter ego that their decisions are mutually beneficial.
Fortunate: âSee! Maldonado hit a home run!â
Stupid: âYouâre right! Letâs play him every day!â

ESPN and MLB Network is all over it nowâŠâŠshowing side by side comparisons and utterly not believing what is going onâŠ.
They are saying the same thing about Yainer/Maldy and what is the deal.
With Chas they did the comparison with Julio Rodriguez that we were discussing, and how Chas is outperforming the guy considered to be the âbestâ CF in baseball.
Dusty is the man that caused this situation and now it has blown and will be a distractionâŠ.
What sucks is for Chas, now instead of just going out to play he is going to have an elephant on his backâŠ.
Iâm sure Dusty will just dig his heels in deeper.

And we have fans that think that was as wellâŠâŠMaldy or Dubon hit a HR or have a good game and itâs â see Dusty is rightâ.
Complete disregard for the other 99% of the season.

It seems like Yainer has been the one catching Hunter but Iâd have to look it up.
If Yainer is catching this game then Brantley can DHâŠâŠdid Uncle Mike come in a couple pounds heavy on the weigh in?
