    Ceratini not catching the 3rd strike allowed Kikuchi get that standing ovation. Knowing Japanese culture that is big when he signs his next contract.

    Phillies have dropped 12 of 16 and Harper is 1 for his last 33. Ofc the Mariners catch them now.

    Also, kind of crazy but no one is currently on pace for 100+ wins (.617 win %) - the Guardians are the closest (.615) while being the only team above .600

    Going to the game tonight, is the lineup out? Hoping to see Leon’s first start.

    Same, taking my 8 and 10 yr old nephews and first time for them in the Crawford Boxes, hoping they get to see a few balls come their way! Great W last night and so glad Cooter locked it down after the 1st inning.

    The boys are undefeated in their three games this year with the Astros scoring a lot of runs every game...hoping their streak continues!

    The superteam era was fun though. Having your 5th starter in Charlie Morton being all star caliber was awesome.

    Chas on the bench again. Dubon in left.

    Espada probably not gonna get Chas going playing him so sporadically still.

    I understand Leon playing.

    Happy with the lineup except for Dubon. I see absolutely no reason for him to ever start in the outfield. He’ll probably go crazy tonight, because I said that, but the odds of McCormick getting back his mojo are greater than Dubon or Leon being starting caliber OF’s this year. Hope Leon proves me wrong and am excited to see him get some playing time.

    What is this teams obsession with Dubon as an everyday OFer

    He likes to do dumb Dusty things. Dubon in the OF and dicking Chas around are 2 of those things.

    Chas comes out of the All Star Break and after sitting first two starts 6 of 8 games, goes 6 for 20 with a bomb. Finally getting going

    Then we have the off day and he sits the next two. Its absolutely crazy because for this offense to really get going, he is the guy with the ability to add a very good bat to it, and Espada just isn't going to let him.

    WTF did Dana not trade him at the deadline, Jesus Christ if your manager isn't going to use him get something for him even if it's a prospect

    Sorry for the rant but FK Joe Espada

    Espada is treating rookies like the duster did, Leon could go 5 for 5 tonight and he gonna sit tomorrow
