For me, I think it depends on which Javier we get today. If he is his dominant version, we muster up enough offense to win.

Chandler Rome reported it and then said this in a tweetâŠ

Chandler is basically backtracking that itâs anything breaking news worthy and it has nothing to with the playoffs. Dana Brown is the new GM. Heâs simply going to either promote within and/or hire his own people. The odd part is Dana was hired after the season started so some of these personnel changes may have happened during the winter of last year had he been hired in December.
Dusty has Brantley DH in game 2 but Diaz in game 3. Thereâs just no rhyme or reason to anything he does.

I think Brantley has good numbers against Gray too.
Freaking idiot. Instead of just starting Yainer he takes Brantley out. Lol

Robbing Peter to pay Paul.
We saw the âLineup of Deathâ one time towards the end of the season and then never again.
It had Yordan in LF, Brantley at DH with Yainer catchingâŠ.it was a thing of beautyâŠ.but sheâs been hidden away in the castle.

Diaz has been much better offensively when he catches vs when he is a DH.

I havenât seen anything from Diaz to justify keeping him off the field. I almost think itâs more of a superstitious thing with Dusty having Maldonado in there in the playoffs.
Eh, it doesnât do any good to worry about it. The guys need to just get it done.

To further illustrate your pointâŠ.
His BA as catcher is .324. (60 games)
As DHâŠ. .213. (38 games)
Surprising, as 1BâŠâŠ .393!! (8 games)

More often than not Abreu is an albatrossâŠâŠYainer playing first keeps Brantley in the lineup.
Him batting fifth everyday is just about a big of problem as Maldonado playing everyday.
Abreu has been Yuli more or less. Occasionally coming through with the stick and playing lights out defense.
They thought they were upgrading and they got Yuli.
We will see if Abreu matches Yuliâs post season.
I donât disagree but he should have been hitting 7th or 8th most of the yearâŠ.if that hurt his feelings then oh wellâŠ.hit better.

No disagreement.
Brantley is 6/20 with 4/4 BB:K ratio.
