His watch has ended: HOU @ TEX to close out August

[DTC]

How would y’all feel about rotating Huff, Heim and Garver between DH/C. With Huff playing 1B about 5-6 times to give Lowe an occasional day off?
Garver and Heim would end up with about 445 plate appearances each, which is pretty standard for a “full time” catcher and Huff would end up with about 465.
That’s assuming no injuries.

Maybe even have Huff play 1B when a ground ball pitcher is on the mound and let Lowe DH.
Again, assuming Huff is better at 1B defense than Lowe?

 

[DT LUNA]

Looks like another BP game

 

[Kelleyman]

Well they did not release Dallas K. Guess he gets one more start FWIW

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

New streak for Bombi

 

[DTC]

Mean while Winn has given up 1 hit and 2 BB to start the first inning. Bases loaded. Hasn’t recorded an out

If they're going to try to get Huff regular ABs I think it'll have to be at 1B.
Maybe a regular lineup of;
LF-Duran CF-Leody RF-Adolis

SS-Seager 3B-Jung 2B-Semien 1B-Huff
C-Heim

DH-Lowe?

 

[DT LUNA]

Can't play like that Duran

Can't play like that Duran

Don't think he's a 3B going forward. Thinking it's maybe LF or bust.

Agree

That’s what I’ve been saying for a minute.. lol

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Is Dunning pitching with a blindfold on?

Not a bad idea.
What about Garver though?

We don't need Garver.

Wonder if having the extra space to work with might help him out.

Backup catcher until he gets hurt again.
So until early may.

I would like to have a healthy Garver in the lineup.
He’s recently had a 157 OPS+ in 2021 and 141 in 2019. 100 this year.
He’s proven he can be a big bat

Maybe him and Huff could alternate between 1B and catching when Heim is not. Not sure the best way to handle it.

 

[DT LUNA]

Are we sure Huff can nail down 1B?
