Dusty is such a dickhead.

Line up with batting averages ….

That Peña average looked rough…so I went and looked at Correa to feel better, especially when comparing the other categories

It’s April, the team is improving 

we have a lot of missing parts 

[tx 3 putt 76980]

As is, this is a very scrappy bunch

See lineup posted below your post. I didn’t quote the lineup but that’s what prompted the post. 

[UTexasFight 9454]

Maybe we win by -190….

[tx 3 putt 76980]

Radio pre pre game - hensley’s .156 at DH, but he’s not the worst with Maldy’s .151 catching today 

 

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Maybe I'm being short sighted but what changes would you make?

Oh I guess you want Maldy out.

 

What else?

[Scraps 13561]

Rylan Brannon to lead off

[tx 3 putt 76980]

If you are watching AT&T SportsNet Southwest, will be a little shakeup. Geoff Blum is away for the next two games. Steve Sparks will fill in alongside Todd Kalas for tonight's game. Julia Morales will be the analyst alongside Kalas for tomorrow's finale.

Maldy out for sure. 
Lineup order kind of sucks too. 
tour best hitter hits 2 and your second and third best should hit 1 and 4. Pretty much the entire order is scrambled and wrong. 
 

Correct lineup with what we have on hand is probably:

Bregman/Tucker/Abreu/Julks/Meyers/Dubon/Peña/Diaz/Hensley 

 

that’s pretty shitty too. But, it’s also the best we could put on the field and in the right order, probably.

Fucking Abreu 

[Limp Brisket 546]

Are we missing Yuli yet? 

[David Dennison 18894]

I am disappoint.

[tx 3 putt 76980]

Wasted opportunity. At least we stretched out the pitcher 

[tx 3 putt 76980]

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Rays have 6 batters with 0.313 or better.

That’s twice you have said this. Literally nobody on here has ever said he should play, hit or be on the roster man. 
nobody is firing off bizarre or nonsensical shit against Dusty.

Quite ironic 

[wood 11226]

I just don't understand how some umps miss that badly on the inside edge of the plate, right where they set up. They have an absolutely perfect view of it, FFS.

Which is a reminder that sometimes we need to not be overly influenced by the box on the TV. It's not perfect either.

Sure, it's by no means perfect, but it's a pretty good guide. The pitch I'm talking about was the inside pitch to Maldy, strike 2 iirc, which missed by 2 ball-widths or so. Even the Rays announcers commented on it.

[Guest]

The announcers just suggested Jose Siri might be the best CF in baseball??????????

 

What did I miss?

[Gourmand 7774]

Great pitch by Luis to K Franco

It’s not the repetitiveness it’s the wrongness. Nobody has ever said what he’s saying. Ever.

They just mean defense. It’s quite possibly correct. 

[DoobieWah 1445]

Dubon. 
 

👌

[billfromlaketravis 11494]

Peña is back?

[Js1 85353]

[billfromlaketravis 11494]

Julks should starts. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Wow

[Gourmand 7774]

Julks is a baller

[UTexasFight 9454]

Holy shit 

I turn off the car with dubon up to bat after Maldy K’s.

change clothes, grab a snack and turn the game on to see… Maldy on deck again. 

nicely done, boys

[Gourmand 7774]

keep talkin shit on Jake yall

[David Dennison 18894]

I enjoyed that.

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

I hope Jake keeps hitting the ball hard. I’m not going to be a hypocrite and act like I haven’t wanted to shoot him into space on an exploding rocket but if he, Julks, Chas and even our minor league OFs are hitting, it only creates good lineup problems and help us at the trade deadline. It is fun watching new guys contribute and keep winning because it just makes the fans of other teams heads explode .

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

can Altuve play Catcher?

[HtownHorn 14691]

We are a Henley and Maldonado replacement from being a really good offense, even with Bregman and Abreu struggling.

if Meyers' leg lick magic sticks and he keeps hitting at a ML level, Dana Brown has a tough roster decision to make when Brantley comes back.

Abreu historically struggles the first month of the season. If he breaks out of his funk, oh man.
