Let's get #9 today! Montgomery should be more comfortable with the team now.

Oh and, 69.

That is a pretty gross lineup.

Hopefully its enough vs the A's.

I was going to say, is Bochy punking Montgomery?!

That's one of the weakest lineups in a bit. Having said that, you've got some bench players you can use to save the game late, I suppose.

Give Garver and Seager a break... maybe some of the bench players can make a difference against a Bullpen Day.

Who had Leody-Huff as their 5-6 hole hitters for your 1st place Texas Rangers in August on their bingo cards? I appreciate Bochy wanting to give guys rest but whoo buddy this is some lineup. Nothing like giving this lineup to Montgomery in his second start

vs RHP
Semien - .283
Jankowski - .295
Lowe - .296
Garcia - .261
Taveras - .282
Huff - .200
Grossman - .193
Smith - .216
Duran - .268

---------
Seager - .356
Garver - .236


It isn't the Leody-Huff combo that is as much an issue as:
  • Huff - .200
  • Grossman - .193
  • Smith - .216

And we'll win 3-1.

We already have an off day on Thursday, so interesting to sit both Seager and Garver and not at least DH one of them. But lets see how it goes.

At least Grossman isn't playing in the field, he's kind of rough out there and might account for one Oakland run on his own if he were in LF today

My mind still can't compute that Jank is doing what he's doing. Nearly hitting .300 and outside of Seager, and recently Semien, is there anyone else you feel as confident in to get on base?

And do @ me with the OBP's of the team. I'm sure he's average but sure feels like he just always has good AB's

I would also put Garver into that category as of late.

Oh for sure, Garver is turning into 2011 Mike Napoli (hyperbole but only kinda).

Yeah that is a A LOT of production to replace. Would've preferred to have one of those guys in the lineup today. I'm sure the rest is very needed but we have to aggressively take every opportunity we can to win against inferior teams to hold/increase our position against the rest of the division.

Since Jung and Heim went down with injury, I think the health of guys like Seager (obviously) and Garver has only become more important, and their availability throughout August and September is paramount. We absolutely cannot afford to lose anyone else, so I am okay with giving them days off here and there against bottom feeders.
DannyDuberstein

Agree 100%. Goal #1 is to keep them healthy and productive. That's gonna mean some days off, and giving them an afternoon off after playing the night before while you also have a quality P taking the mound is a good one

Great points. I guess this current streak has made me greedy.

We're about 6 Wins off the pace I need to get free playoff tickets.

He's back but battling thru it. He had a day off a few days ago because it flared a bit

Clearly Bochy put this lineup out there today to try to help save Mr. Gigem But fear not, Grossman, Smith, Huff and company are going to come through!

Maybe we can get some dingers from Marcus, Nathaniel, and Adolis today and we won't need our scrubs to do anything.
Proposition Joe

Reds lose their 8th of the last 9 and have fallen from 1st place in the division to looking up at the wildcard.

Looks like fell prey to the Proposition Joe theory of returning to their mean.

Seager's right thumb is bothering him. It was obvious last night. Did you see that throw to first? Cross your fingers. Wouldn't be surprised to see him at DH the entire series against SF.
94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough

It's really time for the Yankees to move on from Boone. They ooze negative vibes, and it starts with him. I think he would be relieved if he got fired. He looks miserable every day.


So, the Yankees should stick with Boone for a while. The Yankees at the bottom makes baseball so much more enjoyable
I'm OK when the Yankees and Red Sox are good. The playoff atmospheres in those stadiums is fun to watch. Everybody is bundled up in clothing, following every pitch, waiting to go crazy.

Then you have Houston, where the TV cuts to girls on their phones or 450 lb Hector.

lol a pitch closer to down the middle than out of the zone and called a ball. Pure incompetence, don't care if it may be because Huff jumped up.

Yeah, announcers need to save the framing discussion for actual close pitches. You shouldn't have to frame one that is that far in the zone.

We don't score early hardly ever. It's always mid-late in the game.
