    Seattle literally has a AAA lineup at this point.

    Just avoid giving up a 3 run bomb to Raleigh and you'll probably pitch a shutout.

    This division is an embarrassment.

    The winner will be sub 88 wins.

    Might be 1997 all over again.

    Bloss showing he's not ready.

    The rotation is in shambles.

    A’s offense came in so hot and Arrighetti/Bloss just aren’t very good at this point in their careers.

    #1- Singleton has got to get out of hitting 5th in this lineup. He's a #8 hitter at best.
    #2- I want Dubon in as many games as possible. F giving A.Diaz or Loperfido too many starts. Dubon as the #9 hitter is better than anyone else we have for that position. He handled everyday last year with Altuve on the mend so I believe he can do it.
    #3- F it, we suck without proper starting pitching.

    Am I imagining this or did Bloss hit 96 a few times in that first start before leaving hurt? I thought he was consistent 93-94 too.

    When you wake up tomorrow:

    - Houston
    - Seattle
    3 Texas

    We've got us an exciting race folks.

    Joe Espada with the barely .500 team. Yikes.
