    I think it is more about what is not on this team anymore TBH. Love seeing the resurgence of playing as a team.

    Justin Verlander has died of age related Alzheimer’s disease. In lieu of flowers the family is asking that you make a donation to the Jose Abreu Bat Speed Foundation for research on why aging Cubans lose their bat speed at 36 years old.

    Hopefully - he can go jack homers in Korea or Japan, where his nickname will be Fat Albert.

    I'd love for him to have succeeded, but he's basically only good if you really need a walk. Much rather see a Loperfido/Dubon platoon.

    In addition to the 450 ft plus bombs Yordan hits that we all look forward to it is a thing of beauty as well to start the game off with six singles strung together for a five run inning to start the game. The 1st inning of this game may be one of my favorite innings to watch in a game this year.

    It was just a month ago we were playing a series against Seattle that we had a chance to move into 1st place. Instead our offense sucked and we lost ground we still haven't made up to Seattle.

    He is a good person according to people that knew him years ago and didn’t like him and know him now.

    Great story - fought back and was/is a big leaguer. I would love for his pension to vest so he and his family do alright going forward…. I just don’t want him on the Astros.

    He and that 50 year old math teacher that made the Rays years ago can write feel good articles on great comebacks.

    Yup - zero excuse for that either, we were clearly the more talented team… yet we gave them games… same with Framber and that 7 run inning… he and Espada just handed that game away. Not bad luck - just gift wrapped like 3-4 games.

    More like what's gotten out of this team. It's an exorcism...hopefully.
