2/5 of my final Abreau posts.

I'm entering the root against Abreau portion of my tilt.

The fact he has that bad of a 250 at-bat stretch in him. It's not like he's some rookie.

I don't care if he becomes decent for a week or two, hell, a month, I know he has .210/.530 in 250 at bats in him.

The sooner he's gone the better. Slow. Poor defense, no power, these things are not changing.

I'm rooting against him so the powers that be can accept their mistake… hey, they swung and the Abreau'd. No big deal unless they don't do their best to adjust.

A win where he goes 0-fer is a good day.

This is a terrible idea.

Kindly and respectfully GTFO then.

There's no place for this kinda BS.

We're all disappointed and thought he'd be much much better but this is trash.

Do us all a favor and stop posting

another example of how Dusty has mismanaged the batting lineup...

in today's game Yanier reached 77 at-bats...with 21 hits and .757 OPS

77 at-bats is also the same number that Hensley had before he was sent down on May 19th

Hensley posted 10 hits and a dreadful .403 OPS. He started 9 games at DH and 7 games at 2B

those starts should have gone to Yanier and Dubon

This team has problems, but it isn't dire like some of you cliff jumpers want to believe.

Abreu has been terrible. There's no way to sugar coat that. Montero has been brutal. Altuve has missed significant time. We are missing 3 starting pitchers. And guess what? We have the 4th best record in the AL and 6th best in MLB. We are 4.5 back in the division, playing catch-up with a hot team.

We have played 40 of our 62 games against teams over .500 with a record of 21-19 in those games. That's not terrible, but not great. We are 15-7 against teams under .500. The Astros played ATL, TB and MIL on the road.

As for the Rangers, they have played 31 games, that's more than half, of their games against teams UNDER .500. They are 21-10 against those teams. Against the better than. 500 teams, they are 19-11. They played ATL, BAL, NYY and ARI at home with their toughest road opponents being BAL and PIT. They've done a whale of a job. But after all they've done and the struggles we've had, we are still in the fight.

Look at the Mariners. Look at the Yanks. The Dodgers have also struggled. What about the Padres? The Cards have fallen apart. No team is perfect.

We have 100 games left and Dana seems ready to get the team some extra help. Hell, it's not even the All Star break.

Things will balance out.

Problem is that this year we can't **** around and get Dustied though.

Talent is there but it's useless if it's not used properly. The guys killing us right now (Abreu, Maldonado, Montero) need to immediately have their playing time slashed in half.

This is actually the perfect place to share my opinion. I believe there is an ignore feature if your butt is so hurt from my post.

Bummer last night. I really wanted that one. A chance to steal one in Toronto with Blanco on the hill and Bregman/Pena resting. Would have given us some house money to go for the series win tonight with Framber on the bump. Oh well. The Blue Jays are a tough team and it's not easy to take 3/4 from them on the road.

The next 13 games are big IMO. Need 10-3 or better.

The bad news is we get some tough pitching from Cleveland.

• Logan Allen - their Hunter Brown
• Triston McKenzie - gave us fits last year and looked perfect in his first start.
• Shane Bieber - no explanation needed

The Nats suck, but the Reds are playing better and then it's Mets & Dodgers. Not exactly an easy run.

it's a big game tonight

settles the wildcard tiebreaker between the Blue Jays and Astros

So what you're saying is Yordan will get the night off?

Cody Bellinger

Does Houston have enough dicks to feed him?

I can see it now. Cody and Meyers platooning in CF while Julks gets 90% of the starts in LF.

Good point. Cody gets Yainer's monthly start at 1b too.

edit: I have just lost faith that our manager will properly use the roster given to him.
