    I wouldn’t have traded Lee for Grave-digger.

    Wouldn't it suck if Graveman was too bad to be on the playoff roster?

    Batting Yordan 5th….

    He didn’t come up in the 1st inning.

    Had to lead off the 2nd inning

    No guarantee he comes up in the 9th inning.

    Bad Dusty!!

    Ball game.... Kendall Graveman....

    Not a very friendly welcome back to verlander by the offense.

    I really do think James Click leaving was a big loss. I know Nook's sources in the front office say otherwise but of course they're going to say that. I don't think Click goes after Graveman with the subpar season he's had in '23. This was very much a sentimental, emotional move because they liked him as a person. Very Bagwell/Dusty/Crane like move.

    Blame it on the line up. Kissinger shouldn’t be seeing playing time. Its gut check time and dusty is handing Arlington the division, and letting the Yankees back in the wild card hunt. Last night was the lineup, if abreu needs an off day put Diaz at first. Also, graveman sucks

    When? He’s one the most sensitive managers out there.

    This board was clamoring for Chas and Diaz to get more ABs yet Dusty kept running out Julks, Meyers and Maldy. Keep talking that stupid s*** though.

    So this is where I don’t understand Dusty ! Why keep Graveman in? He’s obviously garbage today so why keep him in?

    Maybe Verlander can punk Dusty into changing his lineups like he told him to go sit back down last inning
