    How does nobody in management see this and Ashby's general terribleness?

    I think if Ashby just asked her to do the dishes after bringing up the food, it would be like hitting for the cycle, or going full Harold Reynolds.

    Still think it should either be Valbuena or Altuve batting 2. Marwin provides zero LHB value when he hits better as a RHB.

    The main thing to get out of this game tonight is that change should be coming to the starting rotation.

    Another game they should have won and gained on the rangers. Oh well, win the next 2 and take the series. Bregman's gotta be up no later than Thursday.

    Crap game... mainly on Fiers.

    OAK had 2 errors vs our 0 and we still lose easily.... CRAP game.

    Rangers lost, so there's that.

    Was that Betances (NYY) throwing 105 MPH tonight? :eek:

    Ugh, Rasmus, Gomez, Springer all duds at the plate. Need Springer to get it going again. Rasmus has looked lost recently. And Gomez, well he's Gomez. Also wish Reed could make some damn noise. Hopefully Bregman and Gurriel can fill some of these holes in the lineup. As for Fiers, I'm all for Feldman getting another go in his spot.

    I still think Springer is so much of a better fit around 4 or 5. Something like this intrigues me.

    Bregman
    Altuve
    Valbuena
    Correa
    Springer
    Reed
    Gonzalez
    Rasmus/Gomez
    Castro

    Rasmus is in a funk. Gomez is well gomez. Scared of doing any more trades. Gomez, Kazmir, and the Giles trades have been duds.

    I'm more interested on what happened between ashby and julia? I missed it.
    as for the game, it happens. Feliz was going to get in a rut.
    come back and win today.

    One of his gems from last night...

    "When you're winning a lot, you want to just keep winning."

    Thank you, Captain Obvious.

    Ashby makes it so hard for me to even watch the TV broadcasts. I honestly can't think of a worse TV guy that they've ever had. He's monotonous, dull, a "Captain Obvious" on so many levels and you can tell Geoff Blum is bored to **** with the guy. He's a complete simpleton. I'd rather they put Francisco Romero up there, and I can't even speak Spanish.
