    Oh look, it's Robel in a key RBI spot in the lineup against a tough pitcher. But I'm sure Toro need a rest after playing 2 consecutive games.

    Yankees take a 3 run lead over Oakland.. We may pick up a half game,

    Yankees win. Not something I'm usually happy about

    Alvarez with a day off right after being last night's hero.

    You can't leave 6-9 vulnerable like that. I'd switch Robel with Yuli. Just one day right?

    (Watch Robel go 4/4 tonight with a homer)

    That 6-9 looks crappy.

    chaz for the most part seems to be outmatched by MLB pitching. Hopefully he adjusts as the season goes. And what does Robel bring to this team? Surely we have someone better

    Robel brings replacement defense and an offensive hole in the lineup.

    Dusty doesn't want to gain ground on Oakland for some reason.

    How do you know Toro didn't wake up with a neck strain, stomach bug, or some general soreness?

    I don't. But this is NOT unusual for Dusty after getting ahead in a series. He also loves a switch hitter, even if they can't hit from either side.

    The Astros are in the early stages of a 20 game stretch with no days off. You might as well write your lineup complaints now for the rest of June. No Bregman, Tucker, and Diaz means a trash lineup nearly every night. EVERYONE will get multiple rest days in this stretch.
