    Bregman has basically been average at the plate this season. Are we waiting on him to save us? He has 7 homeruns in 229 plate appearances with 63 total hits and 98 total bases in 59 games. His slugging and OPS are down as well. Those numbers are a ways off from what he gave us in 2018 - 2019 if you extrapolate out to a full season. I'm not expecting much from Bregman the rest of the way and I have serious doubts about how offensively tuned he will be for a playoff run. He's such a finnicky hitter who struggles for long stretches.

    Was listening to the radio yesterday and they said Robel Garcia missed out a double play because he didn't appear to know there was only 1 out.

    No one's about to tell me Robel Garcia and Taylor Jones are better than Meyers.

    Wish we had added another bat at the deadline. Having Robel Garcia on the playoff roster is ehhh.
    I’d rather carry Stubbs. Just to allow for more PH at bats for Maldy/Castro

    They don't play the same position. Robel/Jones IF vs Meyers OF. he next move will be Yordan to 1B, Meyer to CF and McCormick to LF.

    Looks like another low scoring game by Houston.

    Let’s Dusty Baker has won Divisions, A Pennant, and Lost in the WS in 7 games. He has taken every team he has managed to the playoffs. How is he a shitty manager?

    Stop sucking of Hinch, he is not coming back.

    I don't recall saying a single thing about AJ Hinch. I don't care what Baker did for other teams...he sucks here.

    Go hump your Bill O'Brien pillow troll
