[Scraps 13539]

So fucking over Dubon batting leadoff....and playing daily.

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Dubon will be at .240 by Sept 

[WBT 20415]

Dubon and Pena batting 1, 2 is just killing me

[Scraps 13539]

Dubon will be at .240 by Sept 

With an OPS in the 500s

[tx 3 putt 76314]

I listened to a podcast recorded at the ASB and they listed the most projected WAR lost to the IL in the 1st half:

1. Yankees

2. Astros

3. Dodgers

Well if we're talking about a healthy Brantley and LMJ, that's like me imagining my wife in her 20's (or to be fair, her imagining me in mine).....

Is Luis Robert a realistic target? It would seems like that would cost a fortune to trade for that team friendly deal.

Tuck is the hottest hitter in MLB right now, without looking at stats. 

[Scraps 13539]

The fact Bligh Madris is still on this roster but Jon Singleton isn't is almost criminal

[WBT 20415]

Why?  You know Singleton was already in the majors this year right?  Was it the .103 average or the 34% K rate that impressed you?

I was one of those most disappointed in Tucker's first half. Not that he had bad numbers, but with the shift gone, I had high hopes for a truly monster season. He's obviously kicked it into monster mode since then.

When did Altuve have an oblique issue earlier this year? I missed that.

whatever happens, we need him 100% by July 24 when 13 of the next 16 are against Rangers, Rays, Yankees and Orioles 

if he has to sit for the 3 series road trip out  the break against Angels, Rockies and A’s so be it 

Great that Yordan will be back, but what is going on with Altuve?

I thought his wasn’t that serious

You're going to miss Bligh Madris when we are starting a player so bad he was traded for Josh Fields

Doesn't he have a historically slow start each season?

He took BP in Colorado and has been running bases and the like.  I think he'll be on rehab assignment in the next week.  

[DaysOff 7850]

Rangers getting dicks pushed in.

[Wulaw Horn 18971]

10-1 dodgers. Cmon stros- let’s get the deficit down to 2 games again. Also, Seger is on the IL. 

[Wulaw Horn 18971]

Holy shit, this is the new entry for dumbest lineup of the year. Ugh. 

[TonyTexas 10481]

I don’t typically bitch about lineups but this one really sucks

I’m pretty good moving pena, if it brings back something worth having 

[WBT 20415]

Hey, we said we were tired of Dubon leading off

[tx 3 putt 76314]

I agree !!!!

We should start Altuve and Alvarez !!!!
