    "Mr Pop Up" as you call him is hitting .296 over the past three weeks

    All those guys got in bed at 7 am today whether they are playing or not

    Wouldn't surprise me if they played well tonight, what i've found in those early morning flights is the team has enough adrenaline to get through that days game, then the crash comes the following day.

    My only complaint is moving Jeremy out of the 2 spot. He's been comfortable there when he hasn't had the alien stomach flu.

    Yea, don't disagree, but to be fair there isn't a good order to line up this group

    I'm looking for two HR out of Lee tonight

    Huh? What regulars? You are an idiot. Yuli is struggling, Mauldy is what he is. Everyone else is hurt. Lee is a better bat than Mauldy and Altuve is out because of being hit. Brantley and Alvarez are hurt. You just post **** just to hate. Get a ****ing clue.

    Lol, Yuli is finally NOT struggling. Who is Mauldy?

    You might want to tighten up that trigger of yours lol

    I kind of doubt you have ever watched a baseball game

    No idea and don't care to look it up

    Probably quite a few though because he has been batting 5th/6th behind some guys who have really been getting on base during that time, so probably quite a few

    Sounds like Altuve might be out all weekend, which is fine. Just need to get them all healthy

    Just win the game. A couple of homers would help.

    I hope so. Don't see why he needs to play that game.

    almost every at bat it seems

    his .296 batting average in that time has done nothing for us

    He was certainly horrible for most of the season, hopefully the past 3 weeks is the sign of a legit turnaround

    You don’t know one of the catcher’s nicknames? Look at Yuli’s stats. He is still struggling. You not know Maldonado’s nickname shows me you don’t ****.
