Just figure out a way to win this game so we can get back to our original 2 1/2 game lead on Toronto for that last wildcard spit.
Remember Yordan had respiratory issues in a game last year after some fireworks and the air quality is pretty sh!tty in Toronto these days.
Has Yordan been taken out? cant believe he made it this far into the season without something happening. He’s glass. if he misses any real time we are in deep ****.
Framber with a lead is a good start. And Texas is about to start playing the Rays. My eyes are still on AL West 1st place.
If Altuve is healthy enough to play he’s healthy enough to lead off. I understand there’s some load Mgmt going on here but what I can’t understand is not trying pretty damn hard to field the best lineup possible day in and day out. Even Sparky and Ford were baffled why Dusty put Altuve in the two hole yesterday. There isn’t any logic to it.
Sounds like Yordan could have used load management. He was the only regular that hadn’t had time off.
I liked Dubon leading off last night, but I think Dusty just did that because Breggy was getting rest. I am not sure what Dusty was thinking with this lineup, though. Altuve is a better leadoff hitter and Pena is much better in the 2 hole. Makes no sense. Diaz gets 4 hits in a game and then hits the pine. Dubon gets 3 last night and hits the pine. Get Abreu some more rest and Diaz at 1B!!!! Dusty also needs to get Dubon in the lineup more. I really like Dubon batting 1st or 9th.
Problem is Framber gonna only pitch 6 innings at this pace, we need him to pitch 7 so we see only Abreu and Pressly.
