    I hope Diaz has a great game but Julks is better vs LHP.

    But if we want Diaz to learn and get better to be an everyday day player he needs ABs.

    Check out the win percentage with him batting 2nd and get back to me then lol

    And that makes no sense at all, you would rather 5 players be better than Peña so don’t bat him where he has always had an OPS over .800

    Lol ok

    Hey wait a minute, is this Dusty?

    I may have been still irrationally pissed at the ending of that game when I made that comment. But why couldn't Hensley at 2nd and Dubon at SS be a choice? Hensley has more reps at 2nd this season and him and Kessinger are both putrid offensively.

    Julks is hitting better jow, but this is a vastly superior OF and Javier is a fly ball pitcher.

    Javier needs a good outing every bit of help is required.

    Besides Meyers hits LHP well and needs to break out of the slump.- can't do that on the bench.

    It makes perfect sense.

    Pena is a defensive first player who is limited offensively. He simply does not have the ability to have an 800 ops or 125 wRC+ over a full season. It's not his game or level of talent. There is nothing wrong with that.

    Outside of the playoffs last year, Jeremy has had exactly 1 month with an ops of .800+ and that was May of last year.

    But I would rather there are at least 5 hitters on this team that can hit .800 ops or 125 wRC+

    Man still can’t believe we lost last night. Went to bed with the score 9-5. Guess it’s karma for winning that Rangers slug fest we probably had no business winning

    The one idiot said “ If you don't follow the Astros, you may not know of Kyle Tucker”

    More like if you don’t follow BASEBALL. Otherwise there is no excuse for you not to know the starting RF and 30/30 player for the WS champs. I hate these biased assholes.

    Just saw the Rangers come back scoring 4 runs in the 8th inning to squeak a 6-5 win against the Guardians. Pain. They are not going away.

    Chas bats in a different spot in the order everyday.

    Feel like Bregs coulda been more aggressive there. He shoulda scored on the Chas single.
