    Yordan has been exposed as a hitter and never has adjusted.

    Why take out Javier, who has pitched great, for Pressly, who threw around 30 pitches yesterday. Who is your closer tomorrow Dusty?

    Just told my buddy that

    Leave Javier in and Pressly is available tomorrow, now we have neither

    Dusty is a good dude, but there is a reason he has never won it all even though he has had a ton of talented rosters

    Yep. It’s even more perturbing that Javier’s stuff was gaining (not losing) steam… could have always put in Pressly if he allowed a base runner.

    Ah well, on to Seattle… we know Dusty is amped for this road trip. His two former teams (as player/manager), the two best NL teams, he loves him some NL baseball… phew. Going to need more toothpicks!

    Need a big outing from Luis Garcia tomorrow... I don't love going into games with no Pressly or Javier.

    I want to keep our guys sharp, but Pressly ran out of steam a couple of years ago it felt like. This was a good opportunity to "load manage" him. A win is a win, I guess.

    He's struggled, especially for what we've come to expect, for a while though: slashing .245 .336 .462 .798 in his last 50 starts (+1 PH AB) coming into today.

    Dusty knows nothing about load management

    But, it’s always a good day when you broom them b****es that wear Rangers gear

    Drink up

    He got hurt, had surgery, and tried to come back as quickly as possible… but was still noticeably recovering (despite that, got some major key outs in the playoffs).

    Quit making excuses for the organization that chose winning over humanity in 2017, even though it didn’t lead to THEM winning
