All series talk goes in here. Non series talk goes somewhere else. No PBP, that can be found from other sources if you need it. All games are broadcast on AT&T Sports SW unless otherwise noted. 7-6 Chris Bassitt (R) vs. Framber Valdez (L) 7:10 7-7 Sean Manaea (L) vs. Luis Garcia (R) 7:10 7-8 Frankie Montas (R) vs. Lance McCullers Jr. (R) 1:10
Still not playing against his former team.... (yes I'm aware he's hurt...) Big Series. Let's continue to punish the better teams in the league.... And put them back down to where they belong.
Best lineup we can run out there right now. (Although I still think Maldy and Straw should be flipped) They also flipped Garcia and Framber with the day off. So Framber should be able to start this game, the last game of the first half and first game of the second half on regular rest if they want to go that way. Give him the full ace treatment he probably deserves at this point.

I'll be attending my first games since 2019 on Thursday and Friday. Would love to see victories against both the A's and Yankees.
Would love it if the fans broke out a FIIIIIEEEEERRRRSSSS chant during the game, whether he's in attendance or not
Abreu off IL. Back with first place Houston Astros. Looking for a low scoring game tonight. Hope Framber has his control.
That gets the Active roster back to full after sending three players down and activating two yesterday.
