  1. Take that ball to the shoulder Abreu. Be a team player
  2. 7-4 😫 Dems the breaks. 5-4 will work.
  3. Chas should look at Dusty and give him the finger everytime he gets a hit
  4. This was our Oakland A’s moment for this year. Getting swept by a last place team guarantees a World Series, am I right? This was in the write up for the third game of the sweep that day which also had Javier pitching. Not so dissimilar. Everything is on track. Back to back titles incoming. Cristian Javier threw a respectable five innings on 92 pitches, striking out six in his outing. But home runs continued to plague his July, as the righty-hander surrendered back-to-back solo shots in the second inning to Stephen Vogt and Stephen Piscotty.
  5. All my family starts screaming so I come in from outside and see this shit. How many times have I said Yordan should be absolutely nothing but a DH? There it was on full display. Exactly why. Next time somebody says but he likes playing OF or he has a good arm gets negged. Not really but damnit the guy is too valuable at DH for us to risk that shit.
  6. Just tuned in and saw lineup. Dubon in CF and no Chas? Is he hurt? Nobody expected Diaz today. I’m staying in the pool. I’ve seen enough circus this weekend.
  7. I’ve always been kind of ambivalent about baseball managers. In baseball, there is no playbook like football to call plays or defense, you don’t diagram a last minute shot like basketball to get the ball in your best players hands. I know there are some subtle things managers can do but for the most part, in my mind, managers lose way more games than they win. Their one main job is just putting the best players out there on the Diamond. After that, it’s all individual performance. Dusty fails miserably at his one main duty as manager almost daily. There’s not one game in my mind where anyone can say we would have lost without Dusty. But several where we can sure blame him. I think that’s the nature of baseball honestly. You don’t notice the good ones as much because they usually have good players and don’t do dumb shit like pinch hit for the guy with the third highest OPS with a guy who should be working in a warehouse.
  8. I woke up from my drunken football stupor and thought maybe I was just drunk and imagined Singelton pinch hitting for Chas. Still hard to fathom. Harder to swallow is that idiot Dusty spouting off about projections and averages while playing Maldonado over Diaz everyday. That moron cannot gtfo of here fast enough.
  9. I’ve been drinking all day and I’m not as drunk as Dusty
  10. Yordan been HBP twice but the one behind the knee seems to be bothering him. He’s favoring it some. It will probably bruise up over night. But maybe not
  11. At this point I’m just hoping Altuve and Yordan are back tomorrow.
  12. Chas getting a vacation I guess. Curious not playing against a left hander. Stats are for losers.
  13. A’s spit the bit. We better pile drive those guys next month.
  14. Brantley, playing in his first big league game since June 26, 2022, had exit velocities of 102.2 mph, 99.1 mph, 97.6 mph and 104.1 mph on the four swings in which he put balls in play. He keeps doing that and he will go 4-4 before he goes 0-4 again. He is really going to keep the pressure on the pitchers after the first 5-6 batters.
  15. We are about to get screwed in the 9th again. Wtf
  16. Sucks that while Rangers were shitting the bed, we decided to match them turd for turd.
  17. If everything holds up this will have been a great game to get Brantley back in. We win the game and he gets some good at bats, albeit with some shitty strike calls, but he’s seen a lot of pitches and hit the ball hard. It’s only up from here.
  18. France going to barely make 5 if he even does make it.
