A's.  The only division we're in is with the Yankees and Dodgers

Wreath!!

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Out at least a couple of days. Hopefully this will be like the neck thing during opening week and not like his back thing last season:

Looks like Octavio Dotel got popped in the DR for drug trafficking.

Those numbers don’t lie

Can he still be our 8th inning guy?
Move Pressly or Harris as our Osuna replacement of if he (Osuna) pulls a Giles in October.

[henrygandorf 29197]

trucker hat round 2 update - hats arrived today at printing place.  should be printed and ready for pickup by 8/27 (in one week) and so i should be able to ship round 2 by mid next week.

most of round 1 went out yesterday, although i missed a couple people's pm's so i'll do my best to get them out by end of week.  worst case, they'll all go out together next tues/wed.

so far about half of the 12/12 are spoken for, so please pm me if you want in.

He's done for the year.

[Gourmand 7774]

Just go ahead and IL him so we can call up Tucker to play 1b, move Yuli to 3b and Bregman to SS.

This. If couple days are good, ten is better. We aren't catching the Dodgers with Jack freaking Mayfield in the lineup. Let Tucker come see what he can do. Can't hurt. Could help. And I keep seeing a Sept 1 call up for him and possible post season roster consideration, but don't you have to be on the roster Aug 31 to be eligible or was that just the old trade deadline rules? I'll hang up and listen.

[Scraps 13584]

40 man. Tucker is eligible and will be on it.

He's eligible regardless since he's already on the 40 man roster. That's the August 31st deadline, 40 man or 60 day IL and not the 25 man.

I'm sure he'll have plenty to say on youtube.

Yeah I don’t get this...


I look forward to seeing AJ’s feedback/ body language if he is speaking to the media before the game

Reddick is so fucking bad.  If you actually dive into the statistics for everyday OF's he is probably easily overall a bottom 5 guy.....maybe even bottom 3,

 

On the flipside Brantley is a bad mofo and top 5 guy even with Bellinger/Acuna/Yelich blowing up and taking those top 3 spots pretty easily.  We see him everyday, but Brantley is quietly putting together an amazing season.  

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

 

[TonyTexas 10535]

Nm

[Scraps 13584]

Obviously Trout is at the top in my previous post as well...but I mean come on he is like by himself many levels higher than the rest

Bullshit.  There have been plenty of times they didn’t immediately put Glass Pussy on the DL/IL only to have him miss 6+ weeks

Fair enough. I also seem to remember that last season's injury started out as a "we just need to get him a day or two off" and then ended up being something that rendered him ineffective for the remainder of the year. 

[UTexasFight 9551]

Good
Come on down to Central Texas, Carlos.
Enjoy rehabbing outdoors the next ~2 weeks in the teeth of the summer.

[Johnny Sack 8397]

Send down Mayfield.  Bring up Tucker and Straw.  

[UTexasFight 9551]

And I can’t fucking believe we are in the same exact spot in the infield for the next 8 days that we were in June...and this time without Tyler White.

I’m betting Tanielu gets a call up...unless they want to roll with Yuli at first with no realistic backup, but that forces you to split Mayfield and Straw at SS through the Rays series.

[tx 3 putt 77561]

I’d only we had kept Tyler white 

[UTexasFight 9551]

I’d only we had kept Tyler white 

Or Josh Rojas

[Hank Chinaski 6322]

Will be interesting to see if Toro gets a shot to fill in at 3rd (with Bregman to SS).

Other than 50 games in AA last year, the dude has hit at every level, including a .306/.393/.513 line in AA (435 PAs) and .424/.493/.559 in AAA (69 PAs) this season...

[TonyTexas 10535]

Interesting roster construction. 3 infielders and 6 outfielders.

[tx 3 putt 77561]

I predict we hold steady until sept 1

We only need 24 men?

Correa better hit that heating pad 

[Limp Brisket 546]

“Hinch said he is ‘not optimistic’ about Correa missing the IL but doesn’t think the injury is serious”

Hinch just called him a pussy.

[tx 3 putt 77561]

I take it back, he’s going to IR

[tx 3 putt 77561]

I hope the call up is Toro 

[runthebone 8050]

I'm not surprised about the IL, but I'm still pissed off again.

 

 

[Honeysucklerose 990]

That last line of the chron article is crazy. He has been injured 25% of the time

If Ric Flair can't help then nobody can

Toro isnt on the 40 man so that is gonna take some work unless we have a open spot

[UTexasFight 9551]

Nice 0-2 pitch

[Mo Horn 8855]

Well that's a less than optimal start. 

[Wishbone 4789]

Well fuck already.

[tx 3 putt 77561]

That sucked
