Bottom of our line up is so bad. Combined 0-12 so far.

Get Jung back and go get Rooker and this line up gets much deeper.

You would think this Kirk guy is one of the best players in the league with how he has hit us...

Something about opposing catchers and this team….

Nobody with multiple hits in the lineup. Just can't win like this.

Can believe this Jays starter has mowed through us since the early innings. His ERA at home is terrible.

Donnie Ecker needs to be on a serious hot seat. The offensive approach has been **** all year and there's just too much talent in this line up to be this bad.

The Rays are going to sell off all their expensive players and replace them with their next wave of nobody prospects and make the playoffs.

Rangers offense got set down in order innings 3-8 and had one walk in the ninth. Yikes.

Lots of players getting moved this weekend and I think it will continue.

From a Rangers perspective, I'm sure it can be distracting.

All in all, I'm not anxious for the Rangers to make a move. I'd like a RHB, but fine doing nothing.

Same for me. I'm cool if they do nothing. They are adding to the lineup and pitching staff regardless.

Of course the Astros came back and won.

That pisses me off.

Damn

Jesse Winker to the Mets…if we trade for a bat will have to be someone else

These jays losses have been costly. Mariners / Astros both winning twice.

M's hapless offense has scored 16 in 2 games @White Sox. We score 19 in 4 games at home vs. White Sox. The offense being this bad defies explanation.

Let's compare to compare.

The M's scored 8 ERs in 0.2 IP on a guy named Thorpe (23, 8 Career GS) that we didn't face. That led to 10 ERs.

M's got 3 ERs on Fedde, we got 2.

Today they face Crochet, whom we got 2 ERs.

Our Offense is struggling, for sure, but I think it is important when you look at the CWS and realize they have 2 Top10 AL SPs.

Fair. But if you only count our two games vs. not Crochet and Fedde they are still out scoring us. I'd like to see some research on what we're swinging at, what counts we're swinging at compared to what's happening around the league.

I bet we have the quickest offensive half innings in the league time-wise. I'll go to the refrigerator at the start of an inning and when I come back there's two outs.

Two things can happen. We stay alive and fight for a playoff spot or we shake up the trade market and sell expiring contracts. As DallasAg mentioned the other day, in the past when we were buyers, everyone was buyers. When we sold, everyone was selling. Well if we sell this year, that won't be the case. It seems like hardly anyone is willing to sell. Out of all the potential selling teams, we could gain the most by far. So no matter what happens, the future still looks bright. I'm just enjoying the ride.

I don't think anything could turn us into sellers at this point.

I haven't seen what other deals have looked like but Seattle getting Arozarena for their 12th and 22nd prospects doesn't feel like a seller's market.

****ing ridiculous call to punch out Langford…

Langford has to be the most disrespected player in the league by the umpires. It's ridiculous

Wow, looks like Gray is being pulled before throwing a real pitch.

I'm honestly surprised that I'm still surprised when it happens. It's such crap that it is hurting him that he has a discerning eye at the plate. It's seriously close to at least once a game that he strikes out because of a ridiculous call.

Alright everyone, let's buckle up for this impromptu bullpen game

Trade???

Radio broadcast seems to think lower body injury but no one knows

Starting to think this may not be our day.

that's what I would say after seeing the replay. He kind of hoped a bit after the last warmup throw, but didn't seem too extreme.

Gray hurt or traded?

Nevermind. Just saw replies.

I missed the top half of the inning, but the bottom of the first is off to a pretty bad start.
