I’m saying he’s not going to be ready for the next homestand that ends with the A’s 

but waiting until the following one thats starts on Memorial Day is dumb

so he’ll join the team on the road.

likely in Oakland 

I read memorial day was the accelerated target return 

[tx 3 putt 76980]

Before he started rehab assignment

I just assumed that was too fast. 

He was fully hot for competitive play with the WBC. Makes me think it could be shorter rehab than it otherwise would be.

Literally every answer between next Friday and June 1st makes sense. Just wondering if anyone had heard anything 

[billfromlaketravis 11488]

Yeah, I don’t see how an extended rehab stint helps Altuve. Yes he needs to face live pitching and get his timing back, but the little sob knows how to hit a baseball. I’d bring him back on Friday against the A’s.

Memorial Day was my sense.

Let’s Get It !!!

[Scraps 13561]

That wasnt even close to being a strike so quit being a pussy mustache man

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Bad ump

[Scraps 13561]

Lmao timmmay

[billfromlaketravis 11488]

Lol Bielak. Charmed rabbits foot up his ass on that one. 

[Honeysucklerose 990]

What a play Tuck!

[rvm96 1643]

According to these announcers nobody outside Houston has heard of Kyle Tucker. Like what?

[runthebone 7989]

Tomorrow's New York Times crossword:  stadium with the first animated scoreboard

[runthebone 7989]

7 at bats this entire season.  Good use of a roster spot.

[rvm96 1643]

I thought Salazar hit that one out off the bat.

[tx 3 putt 76980]

Come on Jake !!!

[Scraps 13561]

Dude

[Scraps 13561]

Big K

[rvm96 1643]

Gilbert would have caught that.

Big K

great job getting out of that

[tx 3 putt 76980]

Alvarez on base !

[Scraps 13561]

Anyone else on this team hits that and it goes 4 ft. Alvarez destroyed it

[Limp Brisket 546]

Mancini would’ve had that lol

[Honeysucklerose 990]

More fantastic defense by the first baseman

[cabowabo 4487]

Wow.  Nice turn. 

[tx 3 putt 76980]

WoW great DP !

[Dennis Taylor 18829]

Fucking Abreu is such a liability in the field

As opposed to at the plate?

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Now that actually was great D, Bielak!

[rvm96 1643]

Did not expect Bielak to go to second there after looking back Anderson. Nice Double play

You have to put up with that for the 46 ops+. 

[cabowabo 4487]

We ought to leave Abreu in Chicago.

A 260 lb Roger Metzger at the plate

[BrickTop 477]

Maybe I’m just projecting but Abreu’s body language seems indifferent or frustrated or maybe he truly doesn’t give a shit, will the Marlins give Yuli back?

[cabowabo 4487]

So when do we pull the plug on Abreu?  This is beyond ridiculous. 

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

D. Cease

On a broadcast recently it was brought up that he tries to keep similar body language and stuff day in and day out. I think a guy that hates to be out of the lineup is not indifferent or not a guy that doesn't give a shit.

Oh I get it, but I’ve watched him for quite some time, seems like he’s just going through the motions

Horrible pitch

[BrickTop 477]

Maybe stop throwing meat to the best hitter on their team.

[runthebone 7989]

Don't worry, Bielak.  Abreu's got your back.

You say that because he's not hitting

[BrickTop 477]

That and his defense is shaky as fuck

[HtownHorn 14690]

We can put together a string of shitty ABs like no other.

[Dennis Taylor 18829]

Hey Abreu almost hit it to the warning tra....oops camera was on the wrong outfielder.  Can of corn. Again.

[tx 3 putt 76980]

Very good outing for bielak
