No. Without injuries I'm pretty sure they've had Semien-Seager-Lowe-Garcia-Jung-Heim in order pretty much all season.

Bochy is old, but he isn't stupid. Dusty is both.

With the lineup he trotted out today and moving JP to the bullpen I think we're actually worse today than we were before the trade deadline

It's sad when an opponent scored a 3rd run of the game in the 8th and that was pretty much the dagger. Just a non competitive game from the offense in all facets besides one solo HR

Deficit will be 2.5 games again. Rangers got down 5-0 and continue to hit, what a concept.

Blown opportunity after blown opportunity for this team.

Rays lost, Jays and Sox are tied.

I think Myers might be a good enough CF to win you a few games with his glove. And his bat isn't as bad as Maldy, so you have a win/win with Chas at DH

It's like we have Adam Everett and Brad Ausmus all over again

We're looking more and more like 2005 by the day

good call

Adam Everett's OPS in the 2005 world series season was .654

he hit 7th or 8th in the batting order -- not near the top

Went from a tie of 1st back down to 2.5 games (if the rangers hold on)

The inconsistency of this team is so frustrating. We outscored the Rays and lost the series, right now we have outscored the Yankees and are losing the series.

Dusty is going to do this crap the rest of the way. It's just what he does. We won't see a consistent lineup until the postseason starts. And unfortunately, my guess is that this will include Maldy.

That's a big assumption...not that we'll see a consistent lineup in the postseason but that we'll MAKE the postseason.

2.5 back. Looking at our schedules and dusty doing dusty thing the 6 seed is most likely our best chance to make noise in the playoffs

I just want to point out that 2.5 back with 2 months to go isn't the end of the world.

No, but with almost any other manager I think we have a 3+ game lead above the rangers right now.

We've recycled some variation of this sentence for about 3 months now. At some point the sense of urgency has to kick in with the manager

Everyday it's harder to believe this team won the World Series last year with Dusty as the manager.

Thankfully about the only manager that could have screwed up our situation last year was on the other side of the field in the ALDS

The only thing consistent for Dusty for the rest of the season will be Maldy catching 4 games of every 5 and Pena in the two hole.

Who ****ing puts a >1 OPS hitter in the ****ing 5 hole?

Who puts a ****ing 0.900 hitter even further back?!

Who ****ing puts a 0.666 OPS in the 2 spot?

****!

Perusing the internet it seems like EVERYONE is tired of Dusty's **** EXCEPT the front office. Crane's ego is going to slam this window shut so damn fast...

We gotta be the only team in the majors regularly stacking our lineup with AAA players, let alone the top of the order

It's like Dusty wants everyone to feel loved and valued, when these are just backup bench players to be filled in occasionally

Great place to watch a ballgame in the summer. Enjoy. I got a Korean chicken sandwich there that was really good!
