[Official] Astros @ Rangers

No doubt about it

I mean think about the numbers Chas could be putting up right now and what kind of difference that could make in arbitration, it hurts them financially

Different situation than Springer obviously, but wouldn't surprise me if Chas is already making up his mind he is here as long as we have team control and then buh bye

 

1 Altuve 2B 403 OBP
2 Pena SS 323 OBP
3 Alxarez* DH 161 OPS+
4 Bregman 3B 125 OPS+
5 Tucker* RF 509 SLG
6 Abreu 1B 348 SLG
7 McCormick LF 366 OBP
8 Dubon CF 304 OBP
9 Maldonado C 252 OBP

 

Dusty's logic is so bizarre. We added Brantley to an already crowded outfield and now all of a sudden Dubon has been getting more outfield starts than ever.

 

Dusty's logic lol

 

I can't believe we live in a world where a veteran manager parks one of the best professional hitters we've ever seen, and a kid that's far and away the best rookie in the entire Major Leagues (even with baffling limited playing time), at the same time, in the final stretch of the season, when one win can separate winning the division and missing the playoffs entirely. I can't do this. Win or lose it doesn't matter, Dusty's management is so bad it is damaging to my pre-hypertenstion. I have to check out man.

 

of course Dusty's bum ass puts Maldy in again for Diaz.

 

It's very infuriating.

 

Need to make Eovaldi throw pitches. I doubt he can go more than 40 putches, 50 max

Then they get into that sweet sweet bullpen

 

Here it is

 

yes great game for Dubon to be starting

 

So is Dusty going to pinch hit Singleton before Diaz?

 

I'm honestly expecting him to ask for a trade in the off season.

 

Dubon will always take priority with Dusty. All he needs is the slightest justification for doing so and he will be in the starting lineup.2 HR game, no f**king way he wasn't playing today. Chaz and Diaz might get benched after that, no chance in hell Dubon ever would

Dusty is laying the ground work for Dubon being a postseason regular, not sure if Brown will be able to stop it.

 

So is Dusty going to pinch hit Singleton before Diaz?

Dusty is trying to ease Eovaldi back in.

 

Rangers activate Eovaldi and bring up Ian Kennedy.

Sborz to IL w/ hamstring strain and Otto DFA

Kennedy threw 26 pitches Sunday after 2 days off.

 

if johnnie is back no doubt

 

Yes. Singleton gets to PH for Chas. That way, if Singleton ties up game, Dusty can leave Maldy in. If not, only then will Diaz be used as a PH for Maldy.

 

Or Dusty will be gone by the end of his team control time... I think he legitly likes it here except for the 'player's manager'
