Love me some Marwin, but I’m still scratching my head a bit on this one.  

Infield depth since Diaz/Bregs can't stay healthy and he has postseason experience?

2017 Marwin ain't coming through that door but if 2019 Marwin is still around this is a no brainer. Even if he is post COVID non hitting Marwin this carries so little risk it is worth doing.

Purely insurance. Costs nothing. Doesn’t take up a roster spot. Why not?

Marwin ends the need for Taylor Jones, Wilson, and Robel..  

Other than the Tatis game, I don’t hate seeing Jones out there on a given night.  The other two have already been relegated to obscurity.  
 
I get the insurance angle for multiple positions, but it’s still a pretty “meh” move minus the nostalgia.  
 

That said, Marwin hit the most important HR in Astros history and is always welcome.

A no-cost move for a MLB veteran utility guy with postseason experience signed to a minor league deal is impossible to criticize. It's a no-brainer move by Click, and Marwin likely isn't going to be a difference-maker but I would rather have him than Jacob Wilson fer sure. I *maybe* prefer him a little bit over Robel Garcia but that's only because of his postseason experience and familiarity with the veterans on this team. If they eventually elevate him to the active roster, I'm cool with DFA'ing Jacob Wilson for his 40 man spot.

The best thing about having Bregman back is that it puts Diaz in a great spot to be that super utility guy who should play every day while allowing Dusty Baker to rest Altuve, Correa, Gurriel, Bregman, or Brantley.

We probably won't see a full death star lineup until the end of September 

As it should be really. I think it's smart as long as Diaz stays healthy.

Rangers are wearing their 9.95 gas station caps again

I don't understand how they could be so unaware of how bad those look.

It's deliberate, right?

A third of the game through and we have zero runs against a very very shitty team. Sounds about right.

44% of the way through now.  Unless you are a wizard and know this game is going 12.  

It is so maddening about this team.  Also completely inexplicable.  Teams that win 100 games do so by playing 500 ish ball against other good teams and beating the dregs of the league like a red headed step child.  This is so odd.

Rookie pitchers often do this against our lineup (and many others as well). I think we will get to him or their bullpen eventually.

sub .500 teams scare you to death. Hope Altuve is enjoying his Friday PTO

Is that a subtle dig at Altuve being off today and the lineup shitting the bed so far?

A lineup with Bregman-Tucker-Meyers as its 6-7-8?

Lmao. It’s comical at this point. We’ll be lucky to win one game this series. I think Dusty is a lousy manager and I can’t wait til he’s gone next year.
