    I've been watching the series but not posting. I just don't understand Semien's approach at this point. You've been terrible all playoffs and you are the lead-off hitter. Stop trying to hit the shit out of the ball. His slump has made it way easier to pitch to Seager because there's never anybody on base. 

    So your analysis of the guy who led the league in hits and runs leads you to believe that the problem is that now he’s trying to ‘hit the shit out of the ball’? Instead of what, swinging slower?

    First of all, why would TB want to trade Evans?  They are in the middle of a playoff race. Secondly, the Texans already have a 30+ y.o. WR on the downside of their career. No thanks

    Would completely depend on what we had to give up. He’s in the last year of his deal so there’s no financial obligation beyond prorated salary for the remainder of this season. True that his best years are behind him, but his curve is way, way higher than Robert Woods’. He’s also always been known as a team leader and great locker room guy, which would only help Nico/Dell/Metchie/Hutchinson. If TB would do it for our extra 4th rounder or (ideally) a 5th plus a throw away pick on 2025 it’d be worth thinking about.

    I tweeted this a second ago and wanted to get y'alls thoughts here.  I'm just now watching Jung a lot.  Surprised by how weak his arm is.  Is this a thing or am I just getting some skewed view from a few bad throws or something?

    I think your evaluation of Jung’s arm is weak..

    I just don’t see the Rangers bullpen continuing this dominance.

    I don’t know that I’d call it ‘dominance’; it’s been effective in the sense that no leads have been blown, but still a fuckin’ white knuckle ride, especially when Chapman rolls out there. Definitely better than the regular season (especially that late August to mid September stretch), but I still won’t be comfortable any time the tying run’s on deck no matter who’s up there….
