    Not going to sit Chas against Texas. Part of why he got the extra day off against New York. Though Verlander wanting Dubon in center makes things hard - means we need McCormick, Brantley, and Alvarez in left with Diaz the dh. That's a logjam that's hard to navigate.

    Take
    you can’t have someone batting .283 with 21 bombs behind the dish… it’s just not practical.

    I legitimately don't think Verlander is requesting Dubon at CF. Verlander has always answered "I let Dusty decide all that stuff.." That's all Dusty and him putting words in their mouths. He's been caught lying about that stuff before.

    Is that why? If I edit the link to twitter.com instead of x.com does the tweet actually display? Seriously, that’s the first time I can recall that happening.

    awkward stepping on first base while trying to out run the base runner. Looked like either he twisted it real bad or broke something..... he was carted off (couldn't stand under his own power and was in extreme pain)

    Would be cool if the lineup for tomorrow is..
    Altuve
    Brantley
    Alverez
    Bregman
    Tucker
    McCormick
    Diaz
    Abreu
    Pena

    But we know it's most likely going to be:
    Altuve
    Bregman
    Alvarez
    Tucker
    Brantley
    Singleton
    Dubon (2 hr!)
    Pena
    Maldy

    Framber and JV pitching the next 2 days = Maldy catching.

    Yordan probably iffy to play LF due to knee scare yesterday.

    Diaz at 1B at least 1 but hopefully both.

    Chas should play CF w/ Brantley in LF both

    Looks like the Rangers will activate Eovaldi to start against the Stros tomorrow.

    this team need to do whatever they can to avoid the twins if they make the postseason.

    Royce Lewis is one helluva dangerous hitter.
