Friggin' April.

[Welch 635]

Neanderthal Rangers using sac bunts to create two runs.  

Much more fun to swing away and GIDP like we do, imo.

[WBT 20572]

I'd say the check swing hit and the bloop hit off the hands did a lot more good than the bunt

That's so second millennium of them. 

[David Dennison 18860]

Oh, sure, NOW you hit a HR.

He draws a decent amount of walks and occasionally runs into one. I have no idea what the numbers are as to if he’s more likely to run into one with the bases empty vs traffic. 
get a fucking big fly here Abreu. 

[WBT 20572]

I was told Abreu was an rbi machine?

[Honeysucklerose 989]

Exactly. Bring back Yuli

Money Maton!

Biggest disappointment of the year so far to me. Well, tie with Garcia anyway. 

[WBT 20572]

I mean, there's no reason Maton shouldn't have a great year.  He has good stuff and relief pitchers bounce up and down so much year to year.

[WBT 20572]

Lulz at that 0.00 ERA and 6.70 xFIP for Dunning

No updates on chas is weird

Meyers at leadoff seems like a recipe for a certain Loss

hmmm that is weird. did Chas get cross with Dusty?

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Bochy looks like he can barely walk to the mound

[tx 3 putt 76957]

Chas - vision issues 

[Guest]

As a Techsan, of course I like Jung.  His mannerisms in the batter's box make him look like he chugged 12 cups of coffee before the game.

[WBT 20572]

Vision issues?  wtf?

Other than the bunt made the infield play in which allowed the bloop hit.

Same with Smith, who still owns the Astros lately.

Is this the equivalent of anal fissures?

[HtownHorn 14681]

I think we can also end the Ronel Blanco experiment.

brown eye vision issues

6-8

Right on schedule.

If Garcia is going to keep going with the Serena Williams look he better start winning like her

He needs to lose the braids and be free...

Reminder that their record at the end of April 2022 was 11-10.

Definitely trending that way, or worse, for April 2023. 

Can this team reel off an 11-gm winning streak like they did early last May and then finish May with a 32-18 overall record?

no

No 

[David Dennison 18860]

Maybe.

2B back to leadoff!  Show me a loss!

[Gourmand 7774]

We lost our first game to the Rangers last year as well. 

Can't win the WS without losing that game to Arlington first!

Or with a mediocre pitching staff.

The Orioles had a 10 game winning streak last season in the middle of an 83 win season. Of course they can - baseball is weird. 

[runthebone 7982]

Jackie Robinson, Mauricio Dubon...two second basemen with a place in baseball history.  One broke the race barrier and one...the Honduras World Series barrier?

 

[tx 3 putt 76957]

Nothing serious …

 

[tx 3 putt 76957]

Quick inning for brother brown 

[tx 3 putt 76957]

Dubon !!!

[tx 3 putt 76957]

Free wings !

[David Dennison 18860]

El oh el.

Everything about this team is a bit off right now.
