    They’re 3 back from the division lead… and 3 ahead in the wild card. (And 2 back in the loss column of the free-falling Rays…)

    Definitely. We do need to pray about it though.

    Yordan replaces Madris on Monday. Altuve replaces Hensley or Kessinger on ~Thursday.

    Rangers series should be a playoff atmosphere, hopefully the boys wake up.

    And Urquiddy becomes the 6 man in the rotation in 2 weeks…. And JV allows them to rest Javier and turn Brown into a lights out bullpen guy for the stretch run…. And Brantley comes back to finally let Julks ride into the sunset!

    Really interested to see what happens to Diaz. Hoping to see Kessinger in limited appearances.

    Was that a hit and run where Dubon simply didn't swing though? I really got that feeling.

    I'm gonna guess that exactly none of you remember The Mighty Orq from back in his Houston blues/folk/bluegrass/funk days?

    By my count, he’s catching Brown and France now…. And Yordan can easily play LF in Framber starts (at least). Only starter he’s for sure not in the outfield for is Javier, so that’s a Yordan DH game (and Maldy C game).

    That’s 3 out of 5. And there’s a good chance they’ll load manage Yordan (and Altuve) to where they’re also likely on a 3 out of 4 or 4.5 rotation, giving Diaz/Dubon a chance to be in the lineup then as well.

    Hopefully the deadline will also clear up whatever they’re going to do with the OF.

    Whatever man. Pat yourself on the back again. You think you are the only one on this entire board who remembers the mighty orq? No sir. You are not.
