Why push everyone back one and put Pena in the 2 hole?

They sure do act like it. If they lose tonight they'll back with pitch forks at Dusty and Maldonado's door step.

Two comments from the Arlington board....wow, just wow. Also, we've had the pitchforks out for Donkey and Maldy all f***ing season you dumbass slapdicks.

They also were curious why there was a staff warning on their thread and not ours and they put their two brain cells together and came up with "it's all our fault and they never troll our thread." Again, wow, just wow. I wonder what the color of the sky is in their world.

Chas, I'm sorry but you just aren't performing. I'm afraid I need you drop you down to the 6 hole tonight.

They've never won anything so wouldn't know, but we experienced some bigger wins last fall.

A - Yordan is hurt
B - Yordan is not hurt but we are being extra cautious
C - Yordan IS being traded to the Cardinals

I feel like he's ready and he's pissed that they are holding him back…

D - Dusty convinced Crane to trade Yordan, Chas, and Diaz to the Guardians for Myles Straw.

He gets his boy Straw back and opens up more playing time for Bligh Madris.

We've been to the LCS six years in a row, won 4 pennants and 2 titles.

And a July win over a team with all 26 guys having career years and still only leads us by 2 games is the biggest win in city history. That's cute...thanks. Maybe let's not overinflate your worth.

Yordan Alvarez declined an interview request for a second day in a row. He did hit in the batting cage, according to a team spokesman.

Well if he can hit in a batting cage I don't think he would be doing that if he reinjured himself. Perhaps it's as simple as he wants to play LF and Donkey doesn't want to do that just yet. He'd rather DH him so he can bench Diaz like the idiot he is.

2023 Yordan is about to be 2022 Uncle Mike.

Obviously the World Series win was bigger but they wouldn't know the difference since they've never had one.

What is the possible explanation for Peña in the 2 hole and moving Chas and Diaz down a spot in the order?

---

We were forced to hire Dusty after the cheating scandal

If Yordan isn't in the starting lineup and not even being activated to at least be available to pinch hit, something doesn't smell right.

In the interview Dusty said that based on his experience as a player he'll always hold a guy back a day or two after he(the player) tells him that he's ready.

If you're going to go with that philosophy then shouldn't that conversation be held before a AAA rehab assignment? Alvarez has already been playing.

This is reminding me of the Rockets and some of the lineups they trotted out while tanking games in the early 80s so they could draft Sampson and Olojawan in consecutive years. But at least you could figure out what they were trying to do.

The lack of updates about Yordan is concerning. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear "setback" soon.

These are scheduled days off. They were designated at the beginning of the year.

But he wouldn't be taking BP if it were a setback.

I don't know WTF is going on

Yordan's injury has turned into a 7-week absence

he's going to max out at 117 games played this year...assuming he's in the lineup tomorrow
