So here's where Mauricio "Big Irish" Dubon is on the all-time franchise chart now. Breathe it in. Witness the greatness.
Most consecutive games with a hit
30: Willy Taveras, 2006
25: Jeff Kent, 2004
24: Tony Eusebio, 2000
23: Art Howe, 1981
23: Luis Gonzalez, 1997
23: Moises Alou, 2001
23: Hunter Pence, 2011
22: Cesar Cedeno, 1977
21: Lee May, 1973
21: Dickie Thon, 1982
21: Lance Berkman, 2001
21: MIguel Tejada, 2009
20: Rusty Staub, 1967
20: Kevin Bass, 1986
19: Mauricio Dubon, 2023
19: Bob Watson, 1973
19: Cesar Cedeno, 1976
19: Jose Cruz, 1983
Berkman's wasn't the longest, but might be the most impressive (TWSS). He hit .482 (41 for 85) with 9 homers, a triple, and 10 doubles during his streak for a .941 slugging %.

Is Bannon on the roster?
Do you think he will have a better career than anyone on this list?
Was that 2007 for Berkman? I remember being a sophomore or Junior in college when he was on a major tear.

I might have guessed Alou and Pence in the top 10. Wow.

Here is my take on the roster construction. We have 4 guys on the IL. Assuming no trades and no new injuries.
Salazar - Diaz will be the full time back up and catch every 5th day. No DH, 1B, or LF. Not much of a change.
Bannon - has he even played yet?
Julks - may be controversial, but if Dusty won't play him other positions then he isn't worth a roster spot.
Martinez - it's either him or Blanco and I think we like Blanco as a multi inning guy. That's going to be critical if one of the 6 man rotation falters.

obviously I hope so.The Porkchop Express said:YesHarry Dunne said:

Maybe Eusebio. But I'd probably bet against if you said anyone else.

No Bagwell, no Biggio, no Altuve, no Correa, no Springer - that's nuts.Marvin said:The Porkchop Express said:

I think you're right about Julks, as much as I don't like it. But I think Martinez over Blanco. Feel like Blanco gives up runs every time he's in.
that was Abreu's 100th at-bat of the season in the top of the 7th
Taveras. He only got 664 career hits.Harry Dunne said:obviously I hope so.The Porkchop Express said:YesHarry Dunne said:

Hensley over julks imo but I'm probably wrong. It would break up the maldy/Hensley juggernaut at the bottom of the order. Can't have that.
I didn't realize that. I remembered him having a pretty long career, but he really fell off a cliff and was washed at 28.

Fair. We might be able to throw him every 5th and stretch out more in AAA. But if a starter blows up with a 6 man rotation, you only have 7 guys cleaning up the mess, not 8. It's easy to get in bullpen trouble.
I have to eat my crow. I talked **** about Phil Maton all year last year. He's off to an unreal start in '23. Might be the best RP in the AL right now.

Can he play first base? Or catch?
The Ags game sucks as much as this game is fun.
2022 was really incredible for us ...

Who guessed Meyers with a 1.128 OPS over the last week?
Chas picked a bad time to get hurt. Preppy has figured out where his swing went.

Anecdotally seems like his exit velo is up of late too.
And of course on cue he's on with a 20 ft dribbler...

Against the Ranger, the Reds got 2 back and also have bases loaded in the 8th, still down 3
Outside chance of the Astros picking up another game tonight

Stros Pitching and defense has been outstanding tonight… so far. Big difference from last night… so far
Tampa's attendance sux. Do they have 10k in there tonight for a team that just broke the record for home winning streak?

I remember Tony Eusebio's streak well and being fascinated with it. He was a platoon catcher with and the better option with the bat. I seem to recall at least one of those games he came in as a PH and I was flabbergasted that the manager (was it Dierker?) would risk the streak like that.
I could be making all of this up though.

Hensley and Maldy need to not be in the lineup tomorrow. It's just not good.
Rangers have turned a 6-0 lead into 6-5
Double scores two more, 1 run game
Rangers at risk for blowing the 6-0 lead
