Yeah going 2-7 in those 3 series would be what cost us the playoffs.
AT WORST, you should have gone 5-4 against them. At worst
We've lost 14 of our last 19 at home. That also doesn't help
the worst part about all of this is that if our playoff run ends, it isn't because the team is crap, but because they haven't been put in the best position to win all there games.
Having the unofficial official rookie of the year play in only five more games than Julks is a ****ing disgrace.

We need a W bad today. They need to wake up. We have the Royals this weekend. Need to win that series bad. Hopefully Rangers and Mariners will split the two series they have coming up against each other and not gain any ground on us.

Some serious BAS in here. ESPN has us 96% chance making playoffs
Now:
HOU-90%, TEX-74%, TOR-71%, SEA-65%
My BAS is starting to flare up too.
I swear if he isn't at least DH this game I'm going to drive down to Houston and kick Donkey in the junk.AustinCountyAg said:

Not really, he's gotten me so depressed about this team I don't have the energy. I guess I'll thank you later Dusty.
we're going to win today. I'll be there and the Hawaiian shirt is undefeated this season.

Well if we're going to get hot then now is the perfect time to start leading into the playoffs.
I think it's a fairytale to assume these guys can flip a switch once the playoffs start as long as they get there.

It's like everyday I drive home and turn on the radio to listen to the game we are giving up multi-run bombs. Guess I need to stop tuning in and bringing this team down.

The lineup shuffling will continue until morale improves.
I feel like the playoffs start today. We have the toughest game remaining while our foes get cupcakes. The M's and Rangers can't continue to lose every game since they play each other. We really need our pitching to step up.texasaggie2015 said:

Why they won't: The rotation is hardly a sure thing, as even Framber Valdez had a rough stretch there -- and don't forget that right before that Texas series, the Yankees swept Houston. The biggest issue might be manager Dusty Baker and his penchant for relying too much on his favorite veterans.
Michael Brantley's return suddenly pushes Chas McCormick's playing time into jeopardy (even though he has been terrific at the plate), as Baker also increasingly prefers Mauricio Dubon's defense in center field. Granted, Brantley's first week has been outstanding. Will Baker play Martin Maldonado over Yainer Diaz at catcher, even though Diaz is the far better hitter, has the better arm (much higher caught stealing percentage) and even has better framing metrics? Will Baker be slow to remove Verlander from games, as was the case a couple times last October?

Just like Dusty basically said on 790 yesterday, they haven't even clicked yet and are still in first place. So just be patient and wait for it to happen. All you can do is be positive and pump sunshine.
Dusty losing this team was my biggest concern. I remember posting about it while back and being reassured that couldn't happen with this locker room. And lt could have bigger ramifications than just this year if the front office doesn't get ahead of it.BadAggie said:
Toronto has 6 games remaining v Rays.
Rangers and Mariners have 7 left head to head
Don't mean jack if this team is as checked out as it looks
That's on him. And he's a fool for saying something like that out loud with his complete lack of self awareness.cc10106 said:

I know this is beating a dead horse, but with your comments on the FO being at odds with Dusty. You've said in the past that the FO isn't as upset about Maldy playing over Diaz. Is that still the case? Admittedly, Maldy's numbers the last 30 have been great, somehow. But Diaz's numbers have been elite since June and has an OPS of 1.133 in September. I just don't have faith in our pitching staff and thus needing our optimal lineup to stand any chance in the playoffs once the FO has a say. Do you think there is any chance they sit Maldy for Diaz with Framber or JV on the mound?texasaggie2015 said:

There's a reason they haven't started to click yet, and it remains to be seen if they ever will this year.
