I was curious why he's only had 53 ABs this year in 12 games. Looks like he was just activated off the IL at the end of April.W said:
Grichuk should be on the list
I believe he's a free agent at the end of the season...so he shouldn't cost too much

wherever Altuve goes for his rehab...
just keep him away from whomever was supposed to be monitoring Brantley's and Chas' reps

Abreu had 2 hits and a walk last night. Clearly 1B is not a problem anymoreLonestar_Ag09 said:
Can he ply first…
it is slightly encouraging that Abreu is walking now

No Diaz.
I'd say it's more than slightly encouraging, it means he's seeing the ball better and seeing a lot more pitches. At some point hopefully he'll get his timing down.W said:

Last night in his first at bat he had a 2-0 count and got a cookie and was late, even though he very likely knew what was coming. However, he stuck with it and got a double (albeit with some help) and that's light years ahead of where he was not that long ago.
Can't have him catching too often.
how about this comparison...
Abreu ---> 7 x-base hits in 157 at-bats
George ---> 6 x-base hits in 155 at-bats
every team in the league needs a B-12 shipment

Am I crazy for thinking Pena looks better in the 2 hole, Breggy in the 5 hole and Abreu in the 6 hole given this line up?
Bellinger out of the lineup
Eric Hosmer sighting
now there was a disaster contract. Padres will still be paying him in 2025

Game on TBS tonight or is it blacked out in Houston area?
About to leave for the game with kids celebrating one of their birthdays. Need a Breggy bomb in the Crawford boxes for a birthday present.

To give Dusty the ability and flexibility of playing Diaz anywhere and any time without having to worry about burning his backup catcher.
A concept he seems to have fully embraced.

Fully!
If there is one thing Dusty has proven he loves, it's utilizing the catcher position to the max.
I solemnly swear that I will never post on the Rangers threads again
I don't know what you guys are thinking. The rules have always been pretty clear. Stay off the other team's thread.
Now for any Arlingtonians lurking, you can all go boink yourself.

That's awesome. I needed a good belly laugh today.

I honestly didn't know about that. I made a post about Rougned Odor and was banned shortly after.
Glad you guys are back. Make fun of the Rangers on here and leave them to their overinflated postseason dreams. Reality is about to smack them in the grabby-grab area.

Someone start the **** talking thread. I've basically ignored them the last few years because of how bad they've been.
I just hope the Braves whip that ass again tonight.
Another good chance to pick up a game tonight - as we're both at home but they are playing a much tougher opponent
Just have to find some runs against a great starter, or get him out of there early.

Update from Lance McCullers Jr:

(@lmccullers43):”Feeling really good.I was throwing pretty hard today-just shy of 40pitches.If I come n tomorrow feeling good&there’s no emergency flags,which we’re not expecting,I should hopefully get off the hill against some hitters real soon” pic.twitter.com/pUeXS7MhFl
We asked Dusty Baker for the latest on Lance McCullers Jr after his bullpen today: “I was there..I saw u out there spying (using my phone for video).I was like who is that up there.I thought it might’ve been the FBI or somebody.I saw that’s only Mark..He’s throwing the ball well” pic.twitter.com/kNrthai3sB

Lance McCullers Jr. threw a 37-pitch bullpen session today. There’s a chance he could face hitters in a live BP this weekend, but that’s still to be determined. His velocity was up to 92 on the fastball and 88-89 with the cutter.

Lance McCullers Jr. threw 37 pitches in the bullpen today, throwing fastballs, sinkers, cutters and changeups (he’s throwing offspeed off flat ground), He was up to 92. If everything feels good tomorrow, he will throw live batting practice Friday or Saturday.

Ranger fan will not participate. I think they know this team is on borrowed time thanks to an easy schedule to date and a few players way outperforming expected results. They're smart enough to not get out over their skiis.

I don't wish for anyone to get hurt but a stint on the disabled list for Maldonado might not be a bad thing.
Well, no reason to bump that thing right now

It's been up for a month.

We'll there you go. Told you I don't pay any special attention to them.
Prosperdick said:Yup...they must have thrown a fit. What's funny is I didn't post any commentary, just the umpire scorecard that showed they got almost a full run.All I do is Nguyen said:
Wait, staph gave you a mini vacay because you posted a tweet on the Rangers thread? From their own game?
We all ***** about the umpires and sometimes we only see it our way, it's human nature. Of course with the aggregated rankings we know we're getting the short end of the stick worse than 28 other teams (only one team gets it worse than we do, can't remember who). I was simply showing them they didn't get screwed like they thought they did. Oh the horror!
Anyway, lesson learned. I'll never post on their stupid thread again.
What's also funny is the guy that asked why Astros "always" post on Rangers threads but they never post on ours. That may be true, but half of their thread is talking about us and our games while they jerk each other off about their giant division lead.
I would say act like they've been there before, but they have and lost. So they don't know what to do with a division lead in May.
Trevor Bauer pitched today in Japan but was pulled after 2 innings after giving up SEVEN earned runs.
