Abreu has been hurt most of the year and is basically back to his old self here since coming off the DL. Right in time to sit at home and miss the...
I hate Dusty baker, but that’s like blaming the dog for shutting in the house. What Dusty does is make idiotic decisions. I’ve decided I hate Jim...
Thanks. I remember the lately deal and it doesn’t match what I thought.
Wasn’t clear. Meant to say I thought he’s been hitting better at 2nd than down the lineup, but they might just be bad memory and recency bias.
Yep. And we have usually batted someone second that’s a good hitter too, except Peña who usually bats well when he hits second so has worked out...
What’s cute and quaint about that is Dusty was just screwing up the order- not burying 2 All Star bats on the bench on the regular. if only.
If everyone was back healthy tandem would be the way to go. Framber JV Javier/brown France/Urquidy LMJ/garcia 5 man bullpen: Presley, Abreu,...
There’s been 20 of those decisions (at least) through the course of the year. I agree with you conceptually about the numbers. At the end of the...
We aren’t. Just talking through it.
He needs to learn to control the strike zone better. I’m already seeing some signs of that happening. It’s probably the easiest hitting skill (not...
Better than even chance at division. Definitely playoffs.
5-4 with 2 against the M’s is almost surely a winner too, imo. Unless one of texas or Seattle goes like 6-1 or 5-2 and texas takes out the trash...
If that were to happen all we’d need is texas to beat Seattle on Thursday when we don’t play and it would be a tie between us and Seattle with...
If we win the next 6 we can in all likelihood get swept in AZ and still win the division.
Yeah. I am assuming an M’s win in which case you definitely want texas taking 2/3 if your goal is to win the division.
Not a HR but that double was awful sexy. Ops up to 864. maldy at 604. Is the city and organization ready to thank Dusty yet?
Yeah- if you want to win the division you want texas to take 2/3 this weekend. If you want to make the playoffs you want Seattle to sweep Texas
I strongly suspect 6-4 will still get it done. Especially if one or 2 of those 6 come against the mariners. the way this team is playing right now...
Why would I want that?
@Nook is it still Dusty’s decision on if he’s coming back? this is so absurd.
