The only way that lineup gets better is Julks plays 1B and Chas is in LF.

I wouldn’t hate that at all if someone out a fun time my head and said I needed to win a game tonight or die that would be my lineup

 

[tx 3 putt 75,959]

Brantley hit off the tee today and dubon took balls at 1st 

[Mo Horn 8,779]

Blanco got himself out of trouble. Threw a lot of pitches, but I don't expect him to go deep in the game anyway.

[HtownHorn 14,395]

The biggest problem is Dubon playing 1B, instead of Julks. Fuck this need to play Dubon who is clearly at his best a below average MLB player.

Then the rest of the team must really suck since Dubon is leading the team in average. 

[tx 3 putt 75,959]

Dubon is back up - 2nd, SS, 3rd

Julks has never played 1st 

[tx 3 putt 75,959]

Who’s playing 1st in sugar land ?

[Mo Horn 8,779]

Blanco playing with fire for the 2nd inning in a row

[Mo Horn 8,779]

And just got burned

[cabowabo 4,446]

Is it too early to trade for a starting pitcher?

[Scraps 13,518]

Blancos WHIP is gonna be not low

[Mo Horn 8,779]

Yes, let's walk Trout to load the bases for Othani. That's always a good strategy.

Yep. Blanco is not an MLB caliber player. Walks too many people and doesn't have great stuff. We can't rely on McCullers to be healthy, if he gets healthy perfect. Just like you can't trust Brantley to get healthy. Go get another bat as well.

 

Who made the decision to bring up a guy that struggles to throw strikes after your starter went 4.2 IP the night before?

[HtownHorn 14,395]

Now he's going to strike out.

 

Damn, don't roll that ankle.

[tx 3 putt 75,959]

That was a good throw 

[Mo Horn 8,779]

Blanco has settled down, but not really excited to see him go through the lineup for the 3rd time.

He'd probably do the team more good if he worked the ticket window, so you might be right.

So Blanco gets Trout and Ohtani and then hangs a meatball to Drury. JFC

[tx 3 putt 75,959]

Blanco fail. They was a meatball

More would have been nice, but I'll take 3

[Scraps 13,518]

Tucker should have sent that pitch 8 rows deep

[Limp Brisket 545]

Okay…

[Mo Horn 8,779]

Gotta pull him Dusty

[cabowabo 4,446]

Should be pulling him now.  

[runthebone 7,915]

You have to be greedy for the win

[Halohal 498]

Boy, way to mess up a wet dream

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Blanco should have never been trotted out for this inning. Fucking Dusty

[Mo Horn 8,779]

Big out, but gotta pull him

pitch count was low. Have to give him a shot 

[Scraps 13,518]

Nice outing, especially how it started early.

Get him the W
