Interesting thought but I'd agree that he probably won't move Altuve off.
If Maldy continues to catch, there's no way they're taking Altuve out of the field.

Maldy needs a day off today

0% with Javier pitching, although I agree, he does.

Edit, I already feel like pushing to 1% because who the hell knows with Dusty.

I wonder how rare it would be to have 2 immaculate innings in the same game against the same 3 batters?

Just going off memory but wasn't Javier much better without Maldy last year? Maybe it's time for a change.

Why do we feel like Javier has to have maldy now? Last year didn't he pitch a ton to Lee/Vasquez and then obviously the no hitter with Vasquez.

Framber/Maldy I get (kind of), and maybe this has more to do with Javier going from the 3/4 for to clear 2 but it seems like he pitches fine to anybody.

Mariners at 16%. Them missing the playoffs would probably prompt a house cleaning starting with hot head servais

We finally got one. It's not unfavorable.

Servais is probably a 3-4 game losing streak away from being canned.

If that happened, it would be like when Jimy Williams got boo'ed by the home fans in the 2004 all-star game at minute maid, then got fired before they resumed play.

Bryce Miller has come back down to Earth for the Mariners.

had a 3.00 ERA in May...including 2 great starts vs. the lowly A's. but posted a 5.48 ERA in June

his season ERA vs. teams other than Oakland is 4.79

That's gotta suck as a player...you have a decent outing and get shipped back down to the minor leagues. That's baseball.

How is the 3rd most impactful call the first pitch of the game from Dubin?

I'm surprised Cleveland is that low.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

checking in with Carlos...

and he's having the worst season of his career.

has played in 74 of 85 games for the Twins -- only missed 11 games.so far

dreadful .695 OPS and OPS+ of 91 in his age 28 season

leads the American League with 14 GiDP's

making $33 MM this year so that's good

How do his stats compare to bregman?

I think it's more than that. Bielak will be the emergency long relief in case a start goes south fast. Ronel can't do that if he is starting. If it gets to Blanco's spot then Bielak can start it.

Glad we moved Diaz down, hopefully this will help him not press as much at the plate

Bregman is currently .750 OPS

he'll make the move to .800 in August

Bielak has to take either the Tuesday or Wed start. No one else is on full rest if Framber isn't going until Thursday/Friday. I would think it'll be France Tuesday, Bielak Wednesday.

Sitting in the airport atm, but I encourage those of you who enjoy fan stuff to look at Chas's splits with bases empty vs men on.

We need regular Javi today. Not only because this is a big game but to reassure us that he's not broken.

There's something about mccormick that just defies logic. If you look at his statcast projections, they peg him consistently as an expected .220 hitter since he has been up, yet he's pretty consistently been a .250 hitter. I think there's something about his extreme opposite field approach the advanced metrics can't account for. That's probably also why the brass hasn't pushed too hard to get him in the lineup. The advanced metrics say he and Meyers should be much closer together as hitters. Contrary to the eyeball test, Jake also grades out as an excellent CF.

I hear he had a Viagra stuck in his throat.

See my post about his splits with men on base. Oh, and high leverage too.

I think he might be a guy that adjusts his approach to get a hit when it's needed vs just always try to crank it. Idk.

They have Cleveland/Minn combining for about 96% chance of making postseason. With as bad as central is, that makes sense that one is in and one is out. Basically 2/1 in favor of MN right now but should probably be closer to 50/50

Bagwell and Crane teetering on an 0-3 from the offseason...and yea i'm still counting Abreu in the 0 column until he shows consistency for a 2-3 months.
