We all know it's true, but no, we should not get over it. That's 8-12 ABs in a 3 game series in which you're giving up outs.Project Gemini said:Maldy is going to catch Framber, Javier, and Verlander at a minimum. If Yordan is DHing then Diaz is not going to play. We should all just get over this. The glaring issue at this moment is that Julks is occupying a roster spot.gougler08 said:

Javier is a fly ball pitcher. We want our A defensive lineup in the OF. This helps him. I'd argue Yainer should be catching over Maldy but it is what is for now.
Dallas Keuchel was called up to the Twins. Joe Ryan to the 15-day IL with a left groin strain.

Is it too early to discuss who we want to replace dusty? I need the feelz of a rainbow.

Huh, wonder when he'll start.
We have a manager in-waiting already.HarryRocket said:

I'm guessing you mean Lopez.
He means Espada
Although, at this point I wonder how Crane and Dana feel about it. Dana might want a completely different direction, assuming Crane lets him. I also am not sure I trust Crane to just hand it over, though.

Espada
He's interviewed for multiple positions elsewhere. I think he withdrew his name from one position last year and decided to come back with the thought that he's up when Dusty hits the road.
The consensus is if it doesn't happen this year he'll get hired somewhere else.

Note what while Dusty's contract is only for this year, all the other coaches have 2 year deals starting this year.
If we make another deep postseason run (probably ALCS and beyond) it will be up to Dusty whether he wants to come back or not.
Whenever went on the trash talk thread and made fun of Max's start today jinxed it … he settled in and now they have the lead late
So we are never ever going to let him bat against one ever again...redline248 said:"Well, you know, he struggles against lefties."gougler08 said:

I trust Will Smith to come through (for us)

I would have been disappointed in the Rangers if they didn't beat the White Sox today. The White Sox in the second half might end up being worse than the A's. The Rangers are good and should beat up on the White Sox.
I would have laughed, just saying. Disappointed? Nah, never.Beat40 said:tjack16 said:

Disappointed was the wrong choice of words. Meant to convey they should have beaten them because they are BAD. Yes, would have been funny if they would have lost.
This still cracks me up. 😭 pic.twitter.com/IqbpeQtB5g

No shlt
No one in the lineup with the exception of Robert (who wasn't playing today) is worth a damn.
Even after putting up 3 I didn't think they'd actually win.
They're awful.

Max's spin took a magical jump up after the first inning today.Farmer1906 said:If you look at his spin rate it took a huge dip after he come back from his suspension. It also took a dip June 29th. No idea why then.Farmer1906 said:
Max's spin rate is way down. He's already been busted once this year for cheating. I wonder if he had a scheme in NY for substances and hasn't yet worked it out with the team in Arlington.
Today's #s look very similar to the day he came back from suspension.

Pretty sure it's suckitis. A girl a 31 Flavors last night said its pretty serious
That may be addition by subtraction.
Hasn't he been hitting under .200 after his hot start?

Including the guy trolling. Even I was annoyed with the clapping.
Dusty said Verlander is set for Saturday and Urquidy perhaps pitches Sunday if his bullpen session goes fine.

France is getting pushed back for Urquidy
I forgot about this video!
The one game when they had the intern or whatver that girl was announce the game because they left the place a mess (or whatever happened) was hilarious.
I also love the line "the savages go out swinging" and believe he mentioned something about Chapman being a POS too in the longer video.
Such a great troll!

I can't believe nobody has posted the video of the yankee fans chanting "We Want Houston!!"
