    Athlete build in baseball doesn't necessarily determine success. Pretty weird take lol.

    Maybe I missed the earlier conversation so I am not sure you are being serious lol.

    He pops in occasionally to have the most ridiculous takes. He recently suggested the Astros trade Tucker for prospects because most of the players are past their prime or always injured so it's time to rebuild.

    Dusty creates a lineup we all wanted to see in a game he knows might be rained out. :D

    I'm not sure if Singleton is a better hitter than Abreu or not, but that is a mighty fine lineup.

    I like that Altuve, Bregman, Alvarez, and Tucker are the 1-4 hitters. Diaz is a great option at the 5th hitter. I get that Chas is having a slump with a lot of Ks, but I think he should be batting 6th (I like when the best 6 hitters bat 1-6). That's a small quible though.

    Don’t trust these rankings. They have Cincy as the 23rd best team, Cleveland at 20, Arizona at 21 while the NYM are at 18. The NYY at 11 is a joke too.

    Dusty hates winning streaks and he was concerned that the lineup was too good, had to knock it down a bit.

    Definitely one of our better lineups this season.

    Astros going for the jugular on getaway day. And looking to snap Baltimore's 75 consecutive series non-sweep streak.

    Game most likely gets played today -- even if first pitch is 5 hours past schedule.


    Eta- McCormick scratched... smh. Guess it's Dubon OF'ing 3 games consecutive with JV pitching Friday

    Maldy has never been scratched in 75 consecutive series

    Is there a high chance of rain that I’m not seeing or is this some type of joke I’m not catching?

    Chas was sitting on a 2-18 slump since the 2 HR game. I’m fine with him sitting this one out. The rest of the lineup is good.

    Up until last night there was a near 100% chance of rain for early to mid afternoon. Rain chances have lessened this morning.
