Martinez does what our "high leverage " guys couldn't.

Yes, Dusty. Go fishing! Now.

YPOFA.

I'm loving the YPOFA!

I don't care if they won, if Dusty and Montero still have jobs tomorrow, something is very wrong with this organization

Montero needs an extended trip on the IL and a rehab assignment in the minors. If he can't get it going down there then you have to cut him at the end of the season

Like I was saying before the game, Abreu just needs to hit cleanup.

Maybe Hildee will be the go to.

That was the most frustrating series of the season in my eyes. We shot ourselves in the duck multiple times, Dusty was in rare form, & we got a full blown ump show.

F U Dusty you stupid mother****er!!!

Let's all sear this in our heads now: in spite of, not because of. All agreed?

Salvaged a win in a series where we were royally ****ed by the umps and had to somehow get around mind numbing managing decisions.

here's a stat to make you pull your hair out...

in 198 at-bats...Julks has only grounded into 2 double plays

but both of them have come in the last week with the bases loaded in 1-run games (losses) or extra-innings

---

I can't decide how I feel about Julks. He's almost a good player. But not quite.

---

classic Julks in the 10th inning.

gets a nice hit the other way to advance and score the Manfred runner

but then makes a horrendous baserunning blunder...that makes him look like he doesn't belong on a major or minor league roster

an almost player indeed

Many of us already felt that way last year.

We can't expect him to be an All Star from day one. I have hope he can turn into a solid player.

And although this series was frustrating, each game the Dodgers took the lead and the bats brought them back. That hasn't been happening much this year.

and more shaky baserunning....

in today's game...Jake, Pena, and Dubon all had trouble getting reads off second base.

like they didn't know where the outfielders were before the pitch...or didn't know the scouting reports on their arms

Critical 10-game stretch coming up

3 @ the disappointing Cardinals
4 @ the division leading Rangers (yuck)
3 vs the terrible Rockies (run differential of -123). How do you give up 25 to the Angels with only 2 from Trout and Ohtani?

somehow the Angels managed to lose the series

despite outscoring the Rockies 32 runs to 12 over the weekend

Astros in 2nd place

My goodness.

Here is how I feel about Julks.

He was a non prospect who's developed into someone worthy of getting a shot at the big league level. He's done an admirable job. Sure, he's probably overachieving somewhat but he's shown some signs of improvement on the job. His recent play has pulled him from below avg to avg.

Here is the rub. He's been playing ahead of guys he probably shouldn't. Dusty has shown him loyalty like no rookie ever. With the way the roster is constructed, he shouldn't be the rookie getting the PT he has. It's probably soured some fans on him for nothing he's at fault for.

You and I both, brother!

I think it will be a sweep, one way or another. Hopefully the good guys show up and break their Grand Prarie hearts
