He is still the best player on the team. Bregman at his best is the star of the lineup. The question is when will he get back to that? |

Yuli needed a little patience instead of being an Altuve and going after the first pitch he saw from a new pitcher. Bad games from Altuve, Correa, and Brantley. But, it's Twitchy's fault we lost the game. If he had just thrown a shutout, we'd have won 1-0.

Well, it was still a good series and has been a good start to the month. Montas just kicked their ass today. Trivino has been excellent too. Yuli’s AB against Diekman was the crappiest of all. Yes, that was bad. The main thing today was Montas being dominant. McCullers pitched a great game. When we only allow two runs, we are going to win most of the time. This loss is due to Montas being outstanding and our lack of hitting. |

No one is complaining about Carla and his 0 for series. He has sucked, no doubt. Yet nary a word has been said about it. |

Altuve and Gurriel blew possible rallies with their impatience. |

Yet nary a word has been said about it. And, as usual, the white pitcher with a mullet gets a pass. Never seen anyone with such a mullet fetish. |

In fact, our offense has looked better with him out of the lineup. I am certainly not saying we don't need him back because we do. When he is right, Bregman is a key part of this team. Right now, Correa is the guy we can least afford to have out of the lineup. |

The problem with Jose is he doesn't know the meaning of being patient. Just go up there and hack. That is why he gets himself into slumps like he is in now. But, Dusty is too dumb take him out of the leadoff spot and put Straw there. |

His biggest weakness is he tries to play hero ball so much.... It's hard to blame him, so many times he has came through for the team... |

Welp everyone. My streak of starting the GDT has come to an end. It is a sad moment but lets just focus on the six game winning streak prior to today’s game.
Somebody else will need to start the GDT tomorrow, hence starting a new 6 game winning streak.

That’s the job of a leadoff hitter. |

Your hero Lance shook his head when Toro had that bad inning. I guess we’ll need your villain Altuve to yell at him again. |

I guess we’ll need your villain Altuve to yell at him again. I hope somebody reminds Lance not to shake his head or that means he has lost his concentration. I don't remember him allowing a run after he shook his head. I don't have heroes or villains. Neither do I constantly slam all members of one race while I give the others a free pass. When your starting pitcher allows TWO runs in SEVEN innings, bashing him is ridiculous no matter who the pitcher happens to be. |

On a high note, Scrubb was outstanding and Smith actually pitched a scoreless inning.

Yeah, Correa had a really bad series. I guess I'm not noticing it as much because he is performing better than he ever has so I expect him to decline.

The offense has had a couple of weak days, but Oakland has some pretty good pitchers. As good as our lineup is, there will be some rough games. (And some of our guys are due for some regression based on their histories. Ex: Correa, Yuli)
We still gained a game on Oakland this series and are positioned very well for the 2nd half.

We were just dominated today by Montas and our pitchers would have had to pitch a shutout for us to win. When our pitching only give up two runs, we will win 90% of the time. |

We came into the series 3.5 games up and picked up a game so we had success. We can't expect to put up a lot of runs every day. We were just beaten by a good pitcher today. The A's are going to Arlington where they lost a series the last time they were there. We need to show up and handle the Yankees. Have you checked out the difference in Cole's stats from before they started checking pitchers for illegal substances and what they are now? Getting checked regularly appears to be bothering him. LOL We should have huge crowds all weekend. |
