That's a pretty good lineup. Should be able to score more than 3 runs. We are due for an offensive explosion!

With Carter-Taveras-Hill we have tremendous OF coverage.

We will need a larger sample size. Plus, after he gets some ab's at the MLB level, the pitchers will develop "the book" on him and then we can see if he can adjust to that. We can always use another RH bat and some speed if he can stick at the MLB level.

But looking at his career stats, you have to wonder if he is a career AAAA type guy. He has played in parts of 5 seasons at the MLB level, but has never taken off. So lets enjoy him while we can, hopefully he can keep getting on base.

Nothing we don't know but good perspective from a national writer I like.

Get first 2 runners on, Lowe and Garcia even advance them. Par for the course the last 2-3 weeks

We score at least 2 more that inning if Lowe and Heim never swing

Derek Hill or not I see little value in Leody anymore. He's usually a good player for about a month of the season then below average the rest.

On Taveras... the other day I was wondering if he was going to turn into another Leonys Martin. Decent CF'er, good enough to start for a while and hang around the bigs for 7-8-9 years or so, but never really asserted himself as a CF'er for a legit team.

Just looked them both up.... Leonys Martin has a career batting average of.....244

Heading into tonight Taveras has a career batting average of..... 244

Clearly Leody saw my post and gave me the bird. Then went yard for a HR to CF!

Naturally a solo shot. We have to lead the league in solo homers.

For a championship club this team sure does do a lot of little things wrong. Fully expecting that runner to score now.

wth Lowe. Follows a poor AB with an error on an easily catchable ball.

Yes, clearly he is going to be nothing but a scrub outfielder and start bouncing around from team to team.

So now he can go 4 for 4 tonight, with 2 HR's and 2 doubles.

Every ball in play is an adventure. WTF is up with this teams defense this year.

He was frickin safe Boch. You've got to challenge that

If Seager doesn't dog it around the bases that's not even close

As said before, it's the little things. This team has no fight or urgency and it's showing on the field every night.

Hasn't this team watched Major League II? I feel like we're seeing that in real life.

Haven't watched in a few weeks. Guess I have at least another couple weeks of Stars/Mavs to get my sports fix in. This team is straight garbage.
