    Mariners coming on strong now. Just 3 back in the loss column.

    You would think we’re top of the division by like 15 games the way Dusty is constructing the lineup and shuffling of the batting order, giving the wrong guys more at-bats and limiting the ones who are actually doing well. So frustrating.

    After losing the first game, a split would be nice. And ideal

    Alright y'all. What do you say we go out and win ourselves a ball game today, huh?

    Go 'Stros.

    Astros split the 4 game series in Yankee Stadium last year. Get it done again today.

    I would rather wait another 6 days before bringing back Urquidy. Who knows thought. They'll probably give Urquidy run support with 9 runs.

    LHP is a built-in excuse to sit Diaz

    So Maldy is now the personal catcher for Urquidy, Javier, Valdez, and Verlander. Yesterday when Brian McTaggart asked if Dubon in CF was at the request of Verlander he got mad and said he's the manager and makes the lineup, not the players. But also Dusty..."Well the pitchers request Maldonado so what am I supposed to do??"

    Except he’s not been as good at that as you know, catching. And, why PH for Maldy. the awesome thing is there is some excuse or reason or another every day to not play Diaz. It’s how maldonado ends up catching 125 games at the age of 37 and while being terrible.

    Always keep
    A version of this lineup… but the first 4 need to stay the same. Unless Brantley comes back.

    Never before have I wished a young talented player was 38 so he could get some playing time until now.

    Don’t understand the need to bump France and force Urquidy into the rotation. And once again Diaz, who had the only other hit yesterday, on the bench
