    Espada said an August return would be "pushing it".

    Dude is gonna miss the majority of the season.

    OTOT, too many other players are having subpar years.

    Great job, wack ass offense.

    Because the turtle would've been thrown out by 3 shells.

    What the f are they doing. 3-0 count. Singleton probably strikes out but it's just vomit inducing right now.

    Yainer watched a 93 straight down the middle with 2 on. Frustating.

    Just start Caratini and let Alvarez play more in LF. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

    He's above League Average with WAR in CF (1.2, and that counts game at other positions, like with Judge), he's 8th of 14 in OPS for qualified batters.

    275 at bats…87 K’s for big Jon.

    Our new rookie fits right in.

    Canceled Fubo and went with VERY legal IPTV streaming for Astros games instead. Now I can watch the Astros lose and save my wallet too.

    Batting avg certainly isn't a be all end all, but it's a snapshot into what the other issues are. Also These guys are better defenders because they can cover almost as much if not as much ground as Meyers and have MLB level arms in the OF.

    2 questions….

    1. Did pena pop out on a 3-0 count with men on base?

    2. Is pena good enough to be swinging on 3-0?
